Fitness is the only reason the Swans won tonight. An advantage they will soon out grow as soon as all teams become match fit.
The 1st 3 qtrs by the Swans sucked!!
How very hard and sad for Swans supporters to witness such abysmal football by such an insipid side as this Paul Roos coached Swans team.
We the club and it's supporters, have made a terrible mistake.
While many will say this is the mistake of Paul Roos, actualy it is the mistake of the administration who have let the fear of fiscal failer permeat their judgment when it comes developing a team with winning culture.
Surely the past 20-30 years in the AFL has proved that only one thing is garrenteed of enduring in the AFL.
That is the freak of a coach who has that golden knack. The one who as a player stood out amoungst his peers in some way extraordinary, as a freak either by their violent and determined nature, or their astutness and resolout nature.
Paul Roos is not this, the club has not yet delivered.
Today the only thing that made us respectable in the last quarter was our supperior fitness.
I again Call upoun all Swans supporters to demand a great footballing culture in Sydney.
That is the only way we will come up with a real contender of a team. A team who leads from the front with confidance and their heads over the ball for 4 quarters of football.
Beating the lions a couple of times here and there is nice enough, but no longer can we fool ourleves that we are a patch on the culture and achievments of the great Brisbane Lions, who under Mathews have proven their true worthiness of endvour year in Year out.
Something has to be done at the Swans or else the inteligence of the Sydney supporters will have been insulted too much by such a boring ,insipid and sad a brand of football. One could understand them turning off the game altogether!
