Some of the shit the swans get away with is unreal.
Yes, we've played poorly, and yet were still in the game until late, but the umpires have been atrocious. No HTB decisions to us, the number of times that we've marked and then been called to play on for no reason ... forcing a rushed kick is ridiculous. And that Curnow mark. Just BS.

I cant be the only one who has noticed this, remember that 50m penalty toby had in round 1 i think, when he replaced the man who was ment to be on the mark, and now ive seen teams do it against us and we dont get 50m penalties for it
 
We will be unstoppable next year from the get go when we have all the players available
I dunno.

Greene, Stringer, Hogan, Riccardi, Coniglio, Gruz and Briggs.

They're all up for contract renewal at the end of the year.

Next year's team could be VERY different.

Which could be a good thing

So we had 26 scoring shots to 22 and lost by 40 points. Absolutely diabolical.
To show bad our kicking was this 18 behinds was our (equal) 13th most number of behinds in our history - and we have played 331 games in our history. It was the 5th most inaccurate goal kicking game in our history

We get our studs back then yes. We are better than half the teams in the comp without them. With them? We can give it a shake. But we are desperate for some reinforcements. We also still need to get that killer instinct.

The most disappointing part is that so many misses were simple shots from our most experienced players.

Absolutely.

I just think our premiership window has closed, unfortunately, with our ageing list of highly paid underperforming players.

We just won't get the replacements to see us at the top.

Absolutely.

I just think the opposite unfortunately.

Injuries have cruelled the Giants this year, alongside some ageing players whose form has declined markedly.
We have a ton of kids, some of which are about to do the 2nd or 3rd year breakout. We arent an old side like the Cats or Pies. Just that our known stars are old.

But Taylor, bedford, Cads, Green (if he stays), Callaghan, Idun, Ash, Jones, Thomas, Aleer, McMullen, Rowston etc etc We are ok. Probably better balanced than ever. Just need the medics to get their ass into gear.

so much potential with players like Gothard, makes me excited for the future of the team
 
Whilst this loss was dispiriting, I think we should not abandon hope for the season. Whilst this loss was statistically the worst loss to Sydney Swans under Kingsley’s tenure, we had 8 of our top players injured - and even with that we were competitive for most of the match. Were it not for our horrendous goal kicking we could have pulled out a legendary win.

I think Kingsley’s 100% record of getting us into the finals, and his ability to get the team firing in the latter part of the season, should give us confidence - especially now that 10 teams can make the finals. 3 of our next 4 games are against North, West Coast and Essendon and we should win all 3 of them.
