That was rubbish and a game we will kick ourselves over and lost it at the selection by not playing a second ruckman as we got slaughtered when Grundy was off .we play some dumb football and nothing has changed by allowing teams the space and free men to waltz up the field uncontested to kick easy goals . I said it back in October and got ridiculed but we sold the farm for curnow and after 3 games the only thing he has done is take the best defender .
 
4 umps but they still all umpire to the crowd. They hardly got pinged for HTB or illegal disposal all night.

I'm sorry to say but I've seen enough of Cleary. Bit harsh I know but he does not win contests. You would think with both teams having such a long break ahead that some dickhead at the AFL could have had this Sat night or something. The fixturing person is prob on $300k
Don't blame the umpires. They are constantly shit and it goes both ways

A lot of players sort of disappeared for long stretches. Corey Warner, Amartey, Jordan, Rosas. Warner showed enough to hold his spot I think not great but ok. Cleary will go out Heeney in. Curnow under pressure.

Mills back to close to his best which is encouraging.
 
We made the mistake of continually kicking long. Our players are lazy. We make shitty little leads then they do nothing. This was a shit of a game. We should have won this by at least 6 goals. The umpires didn't help. Some of their dropping the ball and throws could be have been paid. But they weren't. We got frees against us for incorrect disposal but when they did the same thing, play on. ****ing Victorian Umpiring. Simple.

We need Campbell and Kyle back ASAP. They will make our team a bit better. Corey Warner was not sighted after half Cleary wasn't sighted at all. Cleary is as soft as a maiden in a Middle Age Drama. He does nothing.
 
No surprises Swans ran out of legs with a 5 day break.
Enough positives in that mess to be hopeful for things after the bye.
People are piling on Cleary , and yes he looked out of his depth but considering the VFL seasons hasn't started what are people actually expecting of him?
Probably should've gone for Taylor Adams ahead of Cleary imo, but people that get paid to make these calls thought better.
 
Imo we're too slow without gulden and heeney. Golden oldies in Lloyd and rampe need to be moved on. Our lack of leg speed & athleticism gets exposed on the mcg. The game has got quicker, need to move with the times. Nothing drastic but probably 3-4 players can't be in the same team on a big ground like the mcg.

Very low IQ entries tonight. No strategy. Gave the forwards little chance.
Is this on Cox or the players? Seemed to struggle big time once Hawks adjusted to our run. I feel he was out strategised by Mitchell. But I guess he can't control our "Superstars" like Chad fumble under pressure and Curnow constantly get outmatched...
 
Having the ehhh was it worth it early feeling about Charlie and that's probably sooky

Or yeah too early, had a good opponent

Not sure it was Lloyd and Rampe.

58 inside 50's - not enough marks inside 50. Even Mcdonald kicked 2 snaps. We needed to clunk a couple within 50.

I can't believe Curnow can't get seperation from Barass - that is not a good sign.

Wasnt on board due to cost of draft and cap as well as injury history.

His performances are not helping me be endeared.

Goes missing
