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

[Merdo5555]

2 years ago i said Longmire had to go because a smashing in a grand final is unacceptable. The naysayers said no trust him.

NO, he must go he isnt up to winning the big one. He got lucky squeezing the last bit of juice out of a Roos team.

Yet again the gutless many who love losing will say no give him a chance.

An honourable loss is fine another GF embarassment isnt!

100%. Losing by 2 or 3 goals is acceptable and respectable. The boys haven’t shown up. The mentality and mental approach was wrong, yet again. This is on the coaches. We are capable of so much more than this.

Well rumour was that Cox is going to the Eagles - but maybe we should appoint him as head coach? I’m afraid it is time for a shake up of the coaching staff - this is a really unacceptable performance

We need a complete sweep of the coaching panel, I do not want Longmire mk 2!

No one does it like Sydney to screw up a GF day

[MattW]

It's another choke, sadly.

Longmire needs to go. He’s been here too long. He’s a great coach week in and week out, buts he’s not a game day coach. He has proven that to us 4 Grand Finals in a row now.

Here, you may have a point. 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 he reckons it's become a real awkward subject at the club.

On the other hand, the players seem to love him....but that doesn't pay dividends when it ultimately counts, on GF day. As much as I love Horse and the fact that he feels he has 'unfinished business', the writing seems to be on the wall and I think I'd be happy to see Cox take the reigns now.

I believe we have the talent on the field but it seems something is wrong off field - as others have said - a loss by a couple of goals and a competitive performance is acceptable but this performance is not

Grow up.

4 GFs in a row

2 games clear on top and still can't trust them

It's one thing to always be in the hunt it's another to not show up when it matters

Credit to Brisbane. They have been great but we have made it very easy for them. I have no idea what our game plan is other than to bomb it forward and let Brisbane pick it off, which they have done beautifully.

[Blue Sun]

The darkest day in Sydney Swans history. And that’s saying a lot given our recent Grand Final results.

[Merdo5555]

Time to set the record for the biggest GF defeat in history!

At least we might as well get something out of the game!

[Dow]

The mental scares ! This team will be scared, how do you begin to unpack this as a club

[Merdo5555]

Come on Longmire defenders where are you this year!

Should have gone 2 years ago!
