Game Day Round 16: Sydney Swans v Essendon

[Superstar swan]

Poor play by heeney in the end there...needs to be better

 

[The Gong]

too hesitant in the first half though especially just my view

but stopped still a,lot


when we had momentum we didnt do much

Took the game on but it was the finishing that was ordinary early.

 

[RUNVS]

I feel so disillusioned right now.

 

[Skystyler]

robbed. Pure and simple. Aussie Rules is a great game but the umpires have far too much influence.

 

[The King!]

Took the game on but it was the finishing that was ordinary early.

Yeah I dunno you might be right I’m just pissed off with that umpiring

 

[The Gong]

Off to walk the dog and abuse random strangers. Umpiring was a disgrace.

 

[Jono_Hain97]

The only thing more abysmal than the umpiring was the commentary. Hudson was barracking for Essendon the entire day. Absolute joke. You guys were robbed by the umpires

 

[RUNVS]

We were crap but the umpiring was, well what is the point of watching the AFL if the umpires have such a huge impact on the result.

 

[Kummerspeck]

No composure when we had our chances

Yep, can't miss simple shots from inside 25 the way we did today.

 

[The Gong]

Yeah I dunno you might be right I’m just pissed off with that umpiring

Agree 100%. Don't like slagging umps but those terrible decisions decided the match.

 

[The Gong]

Yep, can't miss simple shots from inside 25 the way we did today.

Yeah we didn't help ourselves either. Papley and Hayward needed to ice those kicks in close.

 

[lazy77]

**** this, I'm not gonna watch afl anymore. It's just too unfair.

 

[Superstar swan]

Umpiring was extremely poor but not the reason we lost...papley taking advantage, blakey taking advantage, missed set shots etc are the reason we lost

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

To wasteful didnt take our chances was a poor game overall.

 

[mikey_san]

When will the coach just turn up and blame the umps? This is BULLS**T!

 

[BloodRet]

Cant remember the last time I felt this empty after a loss. Maybe 2016 grand final. Both games decided by umps

 

[Superstar swan]

Got absolutely zero from ronke and rose (besides his good set shot)

 

[Superstar swan]

We lost the game not the umps

 

[Kapanis]

Couldn't watch but the comments above confirm why I'm losing interest and went sailing instead.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Jones is pretty bad at decision making non fussed if he wants to leave, hayward was shocking at delivery inside 50 not sure how you can miss Parker all by himself in the goal square.

 

[adam waite]

To wasteful didnt take our chances was a poor game overall.

Autopsy , attempted murder by umps, but suspects digging their own grave!

 

[MK38]

We lost the game not the umps

A little bit of both IMO. Poor decision making by the players but definitely poor umpiring which changed the momentum numerous times.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Wish I had.

 

[Superstar swan]

A little bit of both IMO. Poor decision making by the players but definitely poor umpiring which changed the momentum numerous times.

Absolutely...but better conversion and smarter plays by blakey and papley and we win

Autopsy - Swans Vs Don's Rnd 16

A really ordinary game. Season over 96 year drought continues. Didn't take our chances and took 2 advantages inside 50 for 2 behinds. Missed some easy set shots Forward line look at sea. Florent Ronke Rose McCartin all ordinary. AA was good in the ruck
