Autopsy 2022 Grand Final

[ErrolisGoldun]

Geelong smacked us.

No hard edge and got an absolute bath.

Fox, Warner, Clarke only ones to show up. Rest didn't.

Got outworked and out coached. Nees a long hard look at intent of list and coaching.

Three GFs lost with Horse at the helm and usually get slaughtered when in finals. Time to have a long hard look at coaches box

Questions need to be asked, the year has been quality but today was a coaching masterclass by Chris Scott which hurts to write but is true

What I don't get was where was our pressure? Sure our offense can suck but we can keep tackling. Apart from Parker our individuals had a low tackle count. I could give them a pass if the pressure game we've had the whole year was there.

I noticed this aswell, we really didn't turn up today at all. I feel this is a common theme for the gtand final for us, really needs to be addressed how we enter a grand final.

 

[Dan87]

A grand final is a game of football like any other week what do you want. Psych appointments for everyone?

Vic teams rule the roost it's hard to break through

 

[swanssince2002]

Still no idea how we pulled 2012 off, I reckon 30 things needed to go right for us that game and it did. We slotted about 3 pretty tough goals from 50 that day, and the Hawks were inaccurate.

Today, 50 things went wrong for us.

I'm 22 and I feel like I may not see a Swans GF win while in Australia after that performance.

Swans supporters, well done on your season, no other club has been able to show such class and humility whether player, official or supporter.

I'm routinely impressed by the Swans ability to peak when it matters, especially after having slow starts early rounds.

I was at the game today and met one of your mods yesterday post AFLW NM v WB game, he was a nice bloke.

Anyway, it's been a huge day for me as a neutral supporter and I genuinely think you lot can salute very soon.

 

[Superstar swan]

I thoroughly enjoyed getting pinged for holding the ball today after kicks

2012 we had experience in spades mate and champion players. We are a young team who exceeded everyone’s expectations this season. Sure it hurts like hell now but I’m sure can look back on this season and be very proud.

 

[Swansujelly]

Well shit. That’s 3 lost gf’s in a row. Geelong too good.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Feel we can be angry about the performance but extremely proud of the season.

Nothing drove me but more than the endless bombing into 50 straight to 4 Cats blokes…wake up boys thts what Geelong want- we should have used our kicking

 

[Parky79]

Can’t blame defense or attack. We were butchered in the middle. We were chasing and tackling them, not hunting of the ball. Reid selection was a disgrace. Needed a high tall fwd, Amartey not a deep fwd McClean.

[ashep]

Not that it matters, but was the Danger HTB in the last as bad as it looked at the ground?

Is millsy crook? sounds crook and definitely has the sniffles.

 

[Ed_Gein]

I will say one thing

i did the preview for this game

and I did 2014

so I blame the mods of the board for letting me

The only 3 game day threads I've ever done on here were the 2012 finals. Lol. Give me the reigns next year.

 

[melbournehammer]

Even after 2016 I managed to watch the game up to 3 quarter time on replay just to see whether the umpiring was as bad as I remember.

sitting here watching welcome to Wrexham as pure escapism tonight. Like an effin nightmare that I need to just avoid thinking about.

 

[Maddo11]

Logan wouldn't have made a difference today. A fully fit Reid wouldn't have made a difference.

Our kids just got beaten by mature, experienced bodies.

Warner, Fox, Parker, Mills, rowwy and Stephens hold your chins up.

 

[catters05]

******* club killer. This group will be scarred for years

Apologies for intruding. You guys will be back. Great season from the Swans, I believe they just met a team on the day who were hell bent on burying their finals demons.

You guys will be back on top next year.

I think we were bombing it because the Cats were outworking us and not allowing us time and space to execute our disposals. I doubt that would've been the actual plan as it's pretty clear that Geelong have some elite intercept marks and good run out of defence.

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

To be honest I don’t think it really mattered. Cats were so dominant in midfield that the ball rarely got that far.

Didn’t help though, lack of accountability

 

[Superstar swan]

Our future would look alot more bleak if it wasn't for chad. That bloke is just about impossible to tackle

 

[ShireSwan]

It wasn’t the beginning of the end.

It was the end.

The beginning of the end can be found at the selection table.

Campbell had the same amount of possessions in the second half as Reid did in the first. So maybe not that. McD would have had less given the service.
I think we really needed Reid marking the ball to be in with a chance, so perhaps the injury was the beginning.
Or perhaps it was us making it seem like final year Crows Dangerfield out there.

Just not good enough, or ran out of legs on the season by halftime last week. Second to every ball. Bounced off every tackle, couldn't take routine marks...

We'll be back. And with something to prove.

 

[J_Moore]

tbh while the first quarter was shit, it wasn’t super surprising, and when we steadied the ship in the second I expected the rest of the game to go that way, held off at arm’s length, and lose by about about 30-40.

That 3rd quarter though, boy oh boy, wowee.

As disappointing as Franklin was, it’s not like the ball was kicked near him all game. A player like Heeney though - ouch

 

[swanssince2002]

One positive is that we are all still here after that train wreck. Mustering up the bravery to post stuff about this game lol
