Game Day Round 2 - Sydney v Essendon, SCG, Saturday 23/3/24, 7.30pm AEDST

[Vindicater]

Their running is starting to get on top of us

 

[boncer34]

Baffles me how anyone watches this and thinks we've been ok.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Hep and Laverde moving like the titanic

 

[Yoda_]

lmao @ lavz taking out papley and having a sook about it

if he wasn't a diver he'd probably have been it paid

 

[sameolds33]

We need to change something. Anything

I don't know how we are "in it"

genuinely terrible football from us

 

[mcgrath_truther]

lots of holding around the contest, none of it called though

 

[TheGrizz]

All our players are so reactive and ball watching.

They set up ok but as soon as the ball is in motion they get fixated and pay no mind to the players around them and where their teamates are.

 

[Yoda_]

We need to change something. Anything

Sub Draper on? Remind Stringer its a contract year? Get Langford to half back?

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

We need to change something. Anything

Davey now.

 

[Beerfish]

Jog jog jog

 

[sameolds33]

Sub Draper on? Remind Stringer its a contract year? Get Langford to half back?

All of the above?

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Sigh....
One way traffic from here I fear. Forward line has stopped

 

[boncer34]

If Sydney could kick straight it'd be 6 goals.

 

[sameolds33]

We're just bombing it into the F50.

 

[mike14]

Talent rising to the top now

 

[Booplaz]

Their kicking is just so good

 

[Vindicater]

Baffles me how anyone watches this and thinks we've been ok.

We have been okay but clearly don't have the defensive running power.

Need to focus on this heavily the next few years

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Keep letting them get out the back while we are streaming forward.

 

[boncer34]

Setterfield, handballs, turns it over, stands still, his player past him.

 

[MightyDon]

Swans hitting targets everywhere, we just bomb down the line in hope

 

[windyhill]

Pinch one boys.

 

[Yoda_]

I don't get how we constantly leak the ball through the front of the stoppage. Year after year after year.

To be fair, Swans must be one of the best field kicking teams at the moment, just not missing a target (albeit with little to no pressure from us)

 

[Call Me Cake]

Difference is we're trying to go forward with handballs and Sydney is taking kicks and marks

 

[Vindicater]

Their kicking is just so good

It is. But also their running to space helps.
