Sole goal, nice

Just let your sole goal, just let it shine through.

They made the Grand Final last year, they are not too bad if they give it their best. They have however underperformed terribly at times this season. I hope Adelaide get the 2025 Sydney, not 2024 Sydney.

No Gulden, no Sydney. Too many players that are very good role players but have 1 of the stars off (especially Gulden) and they aren't good enough to step up. 2023 Gulden found form 2/3 of the way through the year and the role players like Florent and Rowbottom played like all Australian's because they were allowed to just be role players. Last year Gulden and Heeney started the season like superstars which allowed the role players to just play their role so you get good performances out of them.

With no Gulden this exposes Warner's lack of defensive work rate and tendency to show pony which leaves Heeney to have to do too much by himself. Sydney make grand finals because their stars carry them, they lose them because they are too reliant on those stars and have too many role players. A similar team to Adelaide. This year we are seeing the stars play well which means the role players do as well because they can just play to their strengths. This will make you finals but get you found out once you are there.

I saw this coming when Port smashed them last year. I dont think this Sydney group will ever recover.

The 2022 GF killed them.

play for a team that'll barely win 10 games for the season and we didn't even need to give up three first rounders for the privilege.

The 2022 GF killed them.

In 23 and 24 they looked really good when they wanted to be, but didnt want to do the hard yards enough. I feel laziness was a big part of it, and a lack of forward power.

When’s he back?

 

[joe444]

totally playing like a team whose been told "we've been exposed twice in GFs playing the old way; we gotta learn a new way". And they really don't know how.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Adelaide's defence impressive. Along with Collingwood the most solid in the comp atm.

 

[BFVirgin]

Cox needs to go quickly. This is becoming embarrassing.

 

[voorhees]

ump sucked into that one

 

[BFVirgin]

Every Swans free is deep in defence.
Every Crows free in I50

 

[joe444]

We got a Russian emigre playing for us in the tennis. Might check that out.

But it really is important to indulge theories about biased umpiring also. I always find them so rational. On here, every game is incompetently handled.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Cox needs to go quickly. This is becoming embarrassing.

LOL! No way the Swans board get rid of him this year. Or next year.

 

[twiggy4PM]

Not sure how much the umpires were paid but well done Adelaide.

You have to laugh at Hawks fans whenever they complain about umpire bias.

 

[voorhees]

little to easy Sydney..
terrible defensive set up

 

[MisterMarcus]

Sydney are barely competitive.....and everything the Crows are doing is coming off....

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Biggest capitulation we have seen in recent memory from a top side. They are absolutely listless

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Swans just have no gameplan. Handball backwards out of trouble then bomb it forward and turn it over.

This is horrible stuff from Sydney

 

[voorhees]

Rachele with another one

 

[PerthBoy86]

This is as bad as Port last year.

 

[Mr5000]

Daily reminder of the Swans academy rort

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

Warner is the oldest looking 24 year old I've ever seen.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Crows last 11 goals
