But again, senior players with some awful efforts in Q's 2-4. We'll hear the same "un-Swans like" garbage in the media, but that's what we are now. It's very much on brand for us to play one good quarter and then shut up shop for the next three.

Desperately need some leaders in over the off-season, both within the playing and coaching group.
 
Worst part is we will "rebound" next week vs Eagles.

Might as well ice the cake on this season and lose next week.

Us sitting 10th shows how far the Top 9 are ahead of the Bottom 9 sides this year.

Thought Ladhams had something to prove today and was serviceable and tried his heart out, Tmac did well considering Jezza was on fire regardless of Jezza playing up thr ground.

Midfield was as useless since halfway through first and Heeney had everything go against him.
 
Absolute disgrace to just go into holiday mode as soon as the cats got going.

Club owes everyone attended refunds

Charging patrons to come in and watch that sort of effort is criminal
If the Swans are interested in moving forward as a club, Cox's press conference needs to be 10 minutes of teeing off on the umpires with a stuff it I'll cop whatever fine I'm given attitude, 15 minutes teeing off on Heeney for retaliating and 30 teeing off on the side for being gutless

The disparity in size was really alarming. Reminded me of the Crows game.

Even their small players look bigger and stronger than our comparative players.

Stengle shrugging Lloyd and then Campbell to kick a goal summed up the day.

I am not sure what can be done in the off season to turn this around. If teams have good matchups for Heeney, Warner, and Gulden, we are completely listless.

Decision making w the ball is an issue for a few of them. Warner seems disinterested and the lollipop handballs and dinky kicks are hard to understand.

The handballs we give to players under pressure, going back when we should got out the front.. general drop in confidence of a number of players and the pathetic tackling … this season can’t end quick enough
 
Warner is my first to be traded get the picks now move on .

We had the chance to do that mid season but many didn’t want to hear it.

Ladhams was more than servicable today
 
Meh, game went to expectation really. Started well but no doubt the cats came into this game with focus to stop our ball movement. Couldn't absorb their pressure well enough hence the fumbles, cough ups and missed placed handpasses. Too quality back the other way to make us pay, they're the most efficient team per inside 50 for a reason.

Big gulf between our connection inside 50 and theirs, our lads looked pretty checked out that final term.

Think Ladhams' composure is a pretty underrated part of his game, didn't blaze away all the time when he got the pill.

People complained when Cox played Rowbottom forward…well today has been his usual midfield game all season long. How is he above criticism for his year been utterly pathetic and the bloke just hack kicks everywhere or handballs it to the opposition
 
Where’s our little mate ashep?

He seems to have disappeared this week which is a bit ironic given he labelled anyone who dares criticise the team as a bedwetter

Shouldn’t be selected next week

It wasn't that Geelong were better it was that they got in the head of Sydney's leaders and their ego wouldn't let them not retaliate. Not a personnel issue, it was an attitude issue. You cannot expect the younger players to be team first and display the correct attitudes when the leaders aren't.
