Autopsy 5 point win vs St.Kilda

[SwansProudly]

 

[The King!]

we were outnumbered in defence a lot and didn't get punished

 

[SwansLakeside]

Gritty team win away from home. The umpires gave us nothing. Holding frees the flavour of the day.

looked fine in the rooms afterwards during the song. Maybe just a precautionary sub.

Hope that incident gets looked at by match review.

Sheldrick and Buller - just play them.

 

[Bloods86]

pinched it, Buller needs to hit the weights. What is it with 4-5 year players still looking weak, NcDonald too.

Buller has been in an AFL environment for 2 years, much of last year impacted by a back injury. Wouldn't say he looks weak, does pretty well in a contest.

 

[Nuggetz]

The whipping boys kept our season alive. Heeney said missed tackle was about 40% early on.

 

[Olian]

Beat a team that has had the wood on us at Marvel. That was a good win.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

blakey jmac mills heck even gulden etc were largely baffling poor

roberts and blakey look awful but in the last everyone fought at least

i am baffled live how it's a lot of bomb and hope for an individual to do something great

Mills just did.. nothing could of been a late out and the impact would of been the same.

Gulden been pretty good since his return so quiet game is alright by his standards.

Blakey is a massive enigma just wasted i feel, Roberts has been struggling all season

Mills and others in the last were all suddenly barking and talking way more

jsut crows and dogs yesterday set up way more effectively than us

Out strength program is woeful.

 

[The King!]

we made it hard but it took heart

hope mccartin ok

roberts to the twos

blakey midfield or twos yuck

Typical Saints GF how often do they lay 73 tackles a game along with 20 tackles inside 50.

We do need to start talking about your guy though. Admittedly he is my guy too.

 

[tombomb]

I don't think the umpiring favoured one team or the other that much, but it is just bad ... period.

So many 50/50 contests are paid as free kicks, and then the exact same thing happens and it isn't a free kick.

One or two wouldn't be a big deal, but it is over and over again through the entire game. To the point where I have no idea what is a free kick and what isn't.

Can you hold in the ruck? or can you not? Can you smash into someone with front on contact, or can you not? If there is a forward and defender both holding each other, who gets the free kick? It seems completely random.

We have the facilities so no excuse

It kills me that certain teams lift against us and will be average next week.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Are you actually serious? They had about 5 people there (I understand its more, but I feel there were more Swans fans) and you're worried about the impact of that? No wonder this team gets smashed in GFs.

Watching on TV it sounded like a very vocal St Kilda group. Completely get what they’re saying. Swans fans should be more vocal in these away games.

 

[Nuggetz]

Dattolli for mccartin. Shift Francis to defence.

 

[The Gong]

Not our best game and the umpiring was a lucky dip of decision making. Stuck to the task though. Epic melts in the gameday thread were epic.

 

[J_Moore]

very worried about McCartin. Didn’t look to be the heaviest contact and he seemed like he was out cold midair

 

[Nuggetz]

Mccartin injury looks bad apart from the concussion worries. Quite swollen around the cheekbone

Flush fist on the cheek. Heavy contact, very heavy.

Well fought win against the umps, Swans!
The grit shown in that last 1/4 made up for some of the crap served during 2nd and 3rd quarters, especially without a key pillar in our defense late in game. That save by Will was a match-winner, let alone his 3 goals.

JJ, Grundy & Errol all great again & love ya guts Gus! Buller making a good case for continued selection.

BC, please get some kicking lessons from your ol mate Errol this week !

If they played more often like they did tonight they would be higher on the ladder

Did you misread my post. Thr whingeing was clearly heard calling for free kicks to go for St Kilda. It was also incredibly loud from our supporter base and much louder. I simply stated that when the St Kilda fans shouted for a non existent free kick which I'm guessing the Swans supporters were quieter at that point as they had no reason to be shouting the umpires seemed to hear then and react accordingly. Maybe read the post

 

[Ticky009]

McInerney's form is a massive issue, too.

Is it just me or has he not been the same since he got COVID?

 

[Bloods86]

Dattolli for mccartin. Shift Francis to defence.

Rampe probably back if he was close this week. Getting on but better than Francis.
