Match Thread. Grand Final!!! Swans v Lions.

[UUaswan]

5 GFs in 12 yrs, could have been such a different story, left probably 2 on the table.

Don't fear failure, fear not giving yourself the opportunity for success

FFS. Why do apparent adults still throw all the toys out of the cot? We're all disappointed but FFS, grow TF up.

Through our toys out of the pram for asking a coach who has consistently failed to get his team to perform in a grand final!!

Im very grown up, more grown up than someone who sticks their hand in the sand and think it will all miraculously get better because they hope it will.

Its a GF and you cant get your team to compete for a second time, thats embarrassing and disappointing!

Was meant for whoever showed up for the last 4 GFs

That's me. Why would you stick the boot in?

Its the board that is allowing a chairman to say the coach has the job for life if he wants. Please explain how any board would ever let a Chair make such a stupid comment. Since they havent reigned him they deserve to go as well.

So, you've got something against Swans fans?

Problem is the last 2 times we havent given ourselves a chance for success. Both time the game was over at half-time. This SHOULD not happen when you have the 2 best teams in the competition.

I'm here do dunce

I felt like sh8t all morning thinking about these jokers not showing up, took only a half for me to realise the fact

Everything against them, everything for us and we still couldn't get near it

Hard to be confident going forward

A close game would indicate that we belong in the grand final.

embarrassed, again, again.

we should look for a new ruck, and a new coach.

A new ruck....now I've heard it all.

I said we need a new coach....I'm just not trying to win the "I'M THE MOST DISAPPOINTED' competition with non sensical abusive squealing.

Some people do indeed lose their sang foie at moments like this. Some direct their emotion at the coach, the players or the club. Others project it elsewhere, towards other supporters or in the case of one overwrought RWOer, cussing out this website because it was unable to handle their posting frenzy for a moment or two.

Three times I have attempted to reply to Merlo's post re: who's going to defend Horse now?...and three times my reply has been deemed 'spam' and been 'unapproved'. WTF?

So I'll just copy and paste what I said:

I'm not defending him anymore.....time for change.

As I said earlier, I work with a fellow Swans fan who hails from Sydney and she has an uncle with, let's say, inside knowledge and he says that every time someone at the club mentions 'succession plan', Horse shuts it down, like he doesn't want to even consider it. She says that her uncle reckons it's become a real awkward subject at the club.

I think the club really needs to bite the bullet now....and hopefully Horse sees the light and makes it easy for them.

PS: Now I see that they've been 'approved' now and posted....after I deleted them. Again, WTF? Weird website.

Harsh but fair, agree with this

I have no doubt longmire can get us there, but serious doubt he can get us over line

He has a role at the club but time to try another angle

Wow, so you care more about this website than our club. Interesting....

Grundy managed to lose to Fort! Gave us nothing - he’s not the answer.
