Game Day Sydney Swans v St Kilda Round 23 - 13:45 AEST, Aug 24, 2019

This match is horrendous

Not sure exactly what you expected from a game involving 14th v 15th on the last week of the season but ok, yes, it's terrible.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

LOL I thought this match was on tonight, so I've missed half of it.

 

[underthestars]

win and we're in the middle six fixture and two draft picks further back. not a lot of desire there. not sure why sydney aren't a bit more motivated to see off mcveigh and jack with a win though. just a lazy game at the moment.

Not if North win, just one draft pick higher.

I'm fine with that, we're s**t with managing good draft picks anyway.

I didn’t expect it to be Suns v Dees standard, but it is.

Cheer up Saints fans

At least McCartin is on fire and kicking goals

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Tommy McCartin is putting on a clinic right now. Fantastic to watch.

Why would Ratten want this rabble
Coaching suicide ...

 

[Damon_3388]

The uptick in Seb Ross' hurt factor over the last few weeks under Brett Ratten has been enormous.

Steady on, the have a couple of players retiring today you know

 

[aussierulesrules]

8.13 to 12.4. Story of our last few years.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Yay for McVeigh. Nice scenes..

I think this game is showing why we shouldn’t take Ratten. More of the same.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

This is quite gutless from St Kilda

Not his fault the pricks can’t kick to save themselves

 

[Atomboy]

Story of the Saints - our retiree misses from 30 metres out directly in front and the Swans retiree converts from an angle on the run.

So tiresome.

 

[Red Bull]

This is quite gutless from St Kilda

Wretched club ...

 

[Atomboy]

Wretched club ...

Bet you are great fun at dinner parties

 

[BloodRet]

That's why we are the best club in the AFL

Why, because you do what every other club does?

No, you wouldn't get that reception anywhere else

 

[Roobs321]

97.7% for an 8-14/bottom 4 season is very impressive. Opponents averaged less than 80 points per game. That recent month of narrow losses no doubt helps, but also had a few comfortable wins and rarely trounced.

The less said about that game/season, the better.

Port by 47 and GWS by 42.

Been in every other game until at least 3/4 time.

Turnovers and lack of a ruckman have killed us. Effort almost always there.

With a softer draw, increased cap space (retirement + Kurt Tippett contract ends) and pick 4 and 22 in the draft I expect us to finish higher next season.
