Autopsy 2021 Swans Vs Giants Elimination Final. Lost by 1 point

[Troystenvic]

Absolutely Gutted.

How did Bell miss that but can't blame one man

Heeney was brilliant.

Been a fun ride we should be a top 4 lock next year

 

[scaryness]

I'm more than comfortable putting that loss on exactly 2 players and few others

 

[Kapers]

DELIST BELL GET AN ACTUAL PLAYER AND WE WIN

 

[Kapers]

Heeney was incredible, shut punts up lol

 

[Millky95]

At least they'll lose to Geelong

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

Bell. If you're a forward you should kick goals from 20m out. Especially when you offer precisely nothing else.

 

[ashep]

Bad kicking is bad footy. Had our chance 3 times over.

Gutting loss.

 

[Kapers]

Well, once again we only decided to play half a game, so yeah, we deserved to lose

Yeah give it time and in hindsight it will be a good season, but geez gutted at this point in time.

 

[Swansujelly]

bad way to lose. may take me a few days to calm down.

[SwansProudly]

Lance, Hickey, Wicks, Bell, McInerney all missed last quarter.
We kicked 2.7 to GWS 1 point in the last quarter.

 

[elastic]

Should never have lost that game. With the amount of ball we had it was absurd that we went into half time 4 goals down.
The better team all day but failed to execute. Disappointing.

 

[RUNVS]

Hickey, Bell and Buddy all had very gettable shots in those last 5 minutes. All of them failed.

 

[ScrewInStuds]

Well, there's our offseason fuel. 10 game winning streak to start 2022

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

Lance, Hickey, Wicks, Bell, McInerney all missed last quarter.
We kicked 2.7 to GWS 1 point in the last quarter.

Come on. Only one of those kicks SHOULD of been a guarantee...

 

[swanssince2002]

Bell Harrison Barnes'd it for us. Just that kick from 20 would have done it. Don't know if the ghosts of that kick will ever leave him.

I know others missed shots as well (wide open Wicks for goal, Hayward dribbler that hit the post, Buddy missing it in the same spot he kicked his 2007 EF goal), but for a prospect that wants to be in the main game, I dont know.

Hickey, Bell and Buddy all had very gettable shots in those last 5 minutes. All of them failed.

Franklin was living from 50 out. I appreciate you trying to play devils advocate to share a young player. But out of those kicks, which was the easiest that any footballer should have been able to execute??

 

[Hazardinho]

Just want to say you guys had a great season, this loss would ******* hurt as you should have won and it was in your own hands. You guys have a great team, coach and had to travel alot this year, if everything goes back to normal next year, you guys will easily get top 4.

 

[melbournehammer]

Heeney was incredible, shut punts up lol

actually why would it. How many times do we need to wait for this performance.

I'm absolutely of the view that next season franklin should play outside 50 only. Heeney and Mcdonald to be the targets.

 

[Chaisa]

****ed way to lose. How the * does a team not manage to convert a set shot in 10 minutes? Total joke.

Defence didn't feel right up until the last, and even then I think that was down to GWS running on fumes. Ball use I50 throught the first half a joke, though we did manage to clean it up in the second.

What a star Parker is. Hopefully it's not the last game he plays for Sydney. What an enigma Heeney is. Honestly thought he was about to win the game off his own boot.

 

[Superstar swan]

I can’t rememember being so flat

 

[RUNVS]

Franklin was living from 50 out. I appreciate you trying to play devils advocate to share a young player. But out of those kicks, which was the easiest that any footballer should have been able to execute??

Yes, 50 out but those are still shots Buddy usually nails.

 

[Chaisa]

Franklin was living from 50 out. I appreciate you trying to play devils advocate to share a young player. But out of those kicks, which was the easiest that any footballer should have been able to execute??

Yeah Franklin was the hardest. But I think it was a better than 50/50 shot for him.

 

[HPKS]

Disappointed atm but heads up. Great first finals for a rebuild. This game will be invaluable long term. Sort the contracts out, add a couple of young players to the group. Great first year in the midfield for Mills, McDonald to come on next year. This side is going places.
