Fitness

Aker is well primed to become a dairy farmer in his retirement - he's the biggest milker in the competition today. Constantly throwing himself to the ground on the slightest contact etc.

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!

Oh yes ... In the third quarter alone, the miked-up umpire could be heard saying that he wasn't taken in by Aker's staging about five times. The umpires are obviously clued in enough not to pay these most of the time.

You're just all sulky cos you blokes threw away your lead in the last quarter. And that you've got Milne and we've got Davis. 1-2, Saints, better get your act together or you may be looking at a priority pick again.

And just on Aker - I swear I heard the umps laughing at his ridiculous attempts to get free kicks. Did he do a handstand after the game? Well I didn't see it. Mind you, geez he played well for all that.

A few too many cans watching the game old son. Lappin was just going anyway when he copped it and we already had our run on going. Brisbane was stopping and it didn't matter who was out there.

Malcolm Blight said that most of his kicks were on his left foot and were not that effective. He may have beaten Crouch but our bloke was always at him, and forced him to kick round corners which blunts effectiveness. He was rarely able to run straight ahead which is where he is most damaging.

why dont you blow it out where the sun doesnt shine???? jesus are you a swans supporter, i think right now when its the night of the win we can sit down and enjoy what was a bloody great comeback, there no need to sit here and nitpick at the moment.

But the suggestion we won through fitness is crap! why are we more match fit then the lions anyway, we won because we finally backed our skills and put pressure on them. We won because we finally showed a very good skill level.


also what did you want from tonight??? yes we havent matched brisbanes achievements but you cant do much in round 3 at the gabba to rectify that???

were we meant to win and steal the three premiership cups and grab leigh matthews to coach us???

geez footyhead if you truley are a swans fan your the worst bloody supporter i ever met!!! you want this team to fail!

Lucky for you we know he isn't a Swans supporter, but a bitter St Kilda supporter who has just seen the hated Swans move to 2-1 after watching his Saints fall to 1-2.

1% Positive
99% Negitive

and that's being kind

[footyhead]

Swans supporters = very easy to please.

Brisbane are a team who always look like they will win.
Sydney are a team who always look like they will lose.
Brisbane had thier 2 best players out + crippled bench.
Until Sydney look competative most quarters of every game they play, IE until Sydney look like and play the game like Brisbane:
You guys are dreamin'!

Enjoy another year of mediocrity and an early finals exit.

Footyhead while you are entitled to a opinion, the constant negative remarks are getting very tedious.
