Game Day 2025 Round 12 - Sydney v. Adelaide - 31 May @ SCG 7:35 pm

[Bonz]

Thanks for explaining the reason, I never knew why.

Like you, I don’t like it. I would like to see evidence that keeping the player on the field actually leads to poorer performance. Otherwise, it looks like pseudoscience. A heart rate being high from kicking a goal is different to a heart rate being high from physical exertion.

Still has an exertion on the body and has been proven you perform better when heart rate is under control.

There is also momentum and such, I think a balance needs to be there for it.

 

[The King!]

Grundy has tried I dgaf what anyone says, been our best

 

[The King!]

Sheldrick is just another Roberts. A messy, scrappy, low skill player with a poor kick. We really don't need 2 of them.

Sheldrick gets into packs, Roberts has no interest in contested footy

 

[GoulburnSwan]

I didn’t come on here earlier as I knew the board would be imploding - but whilst the umpiring is absolutely rubbish and we are playing like the Oodnadatta over 60’s ladies netball team, the crows just seem a million times fitter, more determined, ferocious in their tackling & their goal kicking is just amazing. Gotta give credit where it is due. I’m still not a fan of either Sheldrick or Hamling - we need to get back to basics and get fitter, we look very unfit.

 

[Kbroome]

Grundy easily the only one to win their matchup

Not unfit, spirit broken. Seen it before.

Sick of the 70s

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Grundy has been great, shame the rest team haven’t joined him in that effort.

 

[Membling]

Not unfit, spirit broken. Seen it before.

Yeah, that does seem to be the vibe currently

 

[The King!]

I mean that was more of a contest at least that quarter, but we are undisciplined and broken still

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Not unfit, spirit broken. Seen it before.

Compared to the crows we look slow & fumbly

 

[The King!]

They need to go camping and do some trust falls or something

 

[Jack2Jack]

If the players genuinely think they're being hard done by the umps, the club needs to grow a spine and publicly give a serve as other clubs do. Otherwise, stop sooking and get ****ing discipline into your game.

 

[Neverwas]

The Swans recruiters had better get working hard. Very hard !

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Get Mills out of the coaches box.

Shouldn’t be there.

 

[kickthething]

At least we are finding some consistency

 

[Citrus22]

We’re winning clearances and even in contested ball, just goes to show how terrible our ball use has been

 

[GoulburnSwan]

They need to go camping and do some trust falls or something

they could go up to Taree and help with the clean up, then they’d know they were alive.

 

[Jack Lord]

I'm sick of watching us fall of tackles.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Go City

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

I want to see them pretend it is state or origin for this final quarter. Every time a crows players has the pill, I want to see a swans player flying into them (fairly).

If we are going to get smashed on the scoreboard, at least make it clear to Adelaide that they have played a game of footy, and build a little reluctance to play us next time.

Who knows, by channeling their frustration, they just may find the fire they have been missing all year.

 

[DAZZA_75]

Missing Florent out there tonight

Crows have been great. In part through their exertions, in particular through our ineptitude. We have put zero pressure on them so this has essentially been a semi contested training drill.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

This feels like a 5yr+ in the wilderness maybe longer
