Listen to the radio, dont think he disgraced himself, not until the game is over at least while playing one of the best CHF in the game.

Oops. I forgot the or the to signify my satire of Hyphen mockers.

Bye bye Buchanan - nice knowing you.

Monty strikes again.....yes, I've come to expect him to kick behinds so that when he does kick a goal I can receive a pleasant surprise.

We just lack class around goal when the ball is in play - Mathews misses with plenty of time, Schneider misses running into an open goal on not an overly tight angle, Monty misses one he should kick...

Looks like yet another game where we will kick more behinds than goals.

same old story 2nite

just shows where we are at the moment and the level of improvement needed. i havent watched much of the game 2nite but listened on the radio, but from what i have seen and heard there are too many basic skill errors and turnovers.

and boy do i feel for poor leo. looks like a midget next to the G train.

I think the club should include psychiatric sessions with our memberships.

Oh did i mention, Schneider is soft!

Our midfield cant kick. We dont have a regular goal kicking midfielder in the team atm. We missed Williams and Davis so badly. Without them, we lack the class to compete with about half of dozen teams.

Well i guess it proves that our forward crumbers suck, which has come to my conclusion that we need to recruit an aboriginal Aaron davey/Jeff Farmer type goal sneak. Someone with superb goal sense, speed, agility and not afraid to have a ping at the bloody sticks!

29 inside 50's - the 2nd lowest EVER since those stats have been kept. Teams near the top of the ladder would have that many in less than one half of football.

I guess to manage 18 scoring shots from 29 inside 50's is pretty good....but still not nearly enough to win you a game...

Walls (?) mentioned that it is our style of play that makes it very difficult to crumb. We kick too wide to the forward pockets most of the time. From those positions, the chance of getting a crumb goal is very limited.

Kicking to the top of the square would have made our crumbers lot more effective.

I think that is a good argument to look at.

I was going to wail at the umpiring, go off at walls and quartermain (they were unashamedly flying their big v colours tonight) but at the end of the night the swannies lost it themselves. pretty hard to do anything 6ft underground. what can be said - woeful. like the last time they were like this - mid2002 - that saints/dome combo again - time for a new look. even though my eyes were closed at the time, I heard walls say the game could be a watershed moment for sydney. pray it is. this game has been coming most of this season.

Sydney's handball is atrocious it is so utterly bad.

Can we sack Ross Lyon?

I've said it a few times before, and it seems to have not been recognised in the media, but Malaxos heading back to Perth was a big loss for us and Ross Lyon....well, maybe his name would be more apt if it were Loss Ryon, coz he has given us nothing as a midfield coach in his year and a half.

In the past 25 years this is the worst midfield I have seen Sydney have. Defensive, skill-less, slow, Jude Bolton is the only winner.

Yeah Ross Lyon needs to go

compared to all the other midfields in the comp, ours struggles bigtime.

the inside 50 stat 2nite is an absolute joke and to only score 58 points at the dome is shocking.

we have one of the best fwd lines on paper, its just a shame the game is played on grass
