Autopsy Swans lose to Saints, Round 9 2020

some good signs still

they are a top side right now, we arent that good

we competed well, the class run out, still some positives and overall picture is ok

will be a few big losses as we go, its more how we respond the next week

lot of it is our own errors and limitations, sorting out who can play

Felt like a quality ruck would make a huge difference
 
Disappointing last quarter. Converting a few chances in the 3rd would have made it a bit more interesting. Still take us back to the Blakey miss. 2 touches from that point onwards. Officially worst on ground based on DT points with Clarke, ET and Ling all bottom 4. Parker the only Swan in the top 7 based on DT points but apparently we should trade him for a packet of chips.
 
Good guide to where we are at....the clean skills of the Saints compared to ours was telling. By hand or foot we certainly lack skilful players. Keep bringing youth through for this year, we have a few more touch ups comING but need to stay the course
 
Saints biggest score of the year

list isn’t much

For 3 quarters we were in it, could have been really close if we had converted.

Unfortunately we completely ran out of legs and they turned it on a bit in the last.

Out: Grey, Taylor, Bell
In: Stephens, Wicks, Gould? (If we want to insist on Mills being in the middle).
 
Sam Teflon Reid. Has the value of a ****ing betamax video recorder. Weak as ****ing piss. Blakey you might have football ability but you are a ****ing space cadet and should have been given the lead role in Billy Elliot with your tip toeing around a ****ing contest.


they are tall, thats why they play

Scoreboard hurt us but pretty happy with the first 3 quarters considering our young side. Clarke and Bell under serious pressure to keep their spot though.

Harsh but you're not wrong. Feels not right to gift Blakey games when there were others who got dropped despite doing better.
