Game Day 2022 Non-Swans Game Day

[melbournehammer]

The work rate forward of the ball by the dees is pretty impressive mind you - they get to the fall of the ball on massive numbers

seen on the phone booking a restaurant for tonight’s post-game brawl.

Modern coaching at its finest - he knows what motivates the troops.

 

[melbournehammer]

Just by the way - how the heck did we lose to this mob ?Brisbane are really bloody ordinary and they smashed us for 90 minutes of the 100

Same way most of our losses have come? by being shite.

 

[swanssince2002]

The Lions small forwards ran roughshod when they made their run against us... when they are hitting goals from 50 off one foot its not your night.

Also took some Buddy magic to prevent it from being a big blowout. Then Neale took over and the game was put to bed.

 

[Kapers]

There really are no good teams, just good moments this year. Has any team actually been consistently convincing?

Every team looks so bad when beaten.

Pretty much. It will be whoever has the best "best" moments come September. Very underwhelming top 8 and I'm pissed off that we've failed to capitalise on it to date.

Don't speak too soon.

I tend to agree, but I would hope Longmire would be saying every week, "why not us?"

 

[Kapers]

Brisbane getting embarrassed here.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Brisbane are god awful tonight.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Brisbane have been awful. Would suck being the second best team in the league over the last 2-3 years knowing you have no hope of beating the best (as things currently stand).

 

[caesar88]

As I said at the start of the year with Brisbane, who is their game breaking talent? If it's Neale then no wonder they haven't come close to a flag in recent years.

is the biggest front runner.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Charlie Cameron is the biggest front runner.

He's definitely up there, he's rarely the one keeping his team hanging into a tight battle.

 

[SM]

Called it late in the first, this game was so predictable. Lions ran their race early.

 

[swanssince2002]

Definitely no groundbreaking dominance this year like a few teams in the late 2000s - early 2010s. Certainly no 2 teams that would stand above the rest.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Man, watching Brisbane play, they're making similar mistakes that the swans make when we're under the pump. I guess it's just the way footy is played these days, when a team is being totally outplayed the loser tends to look the same, poor execution, bombing it forward with little direction, and generally to an outnumbered forward.

 

[Olian]

10 losses in row for lions at G

Over the space of 8 years. Shows how the draw really doesn’t help non Vic clubs at times.

 

[wills2g]

bloody hell hawthorn are going to be good again real quick

 

[Mister B]

bloody hell hawthorn are going to be good again real quick

Playing well, but Bulldogs have been asleep for the first 12 or so minutes.

 

[Punts]

Geez that’s a shocker

 

[Punts]

Very very early but McDonald looks twice the player the WB kid is

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Dogs by 40.

They’ll click.

footnote: I desperately hope I’m completely wrong.

 

[Punts]

Is it me or hawks switching it a lot from defence

 

[wills2g]

Hawthorn have better ball movement than us. I don't like the mashing of Longmire's contested style with Pyke's ball movement. Clearly sticking to ball movement works.
