Match thread: Swans v Hawks.

[Foreign Legion]

Is Hayward injured in some way? He was poor last week against GC - zero impact so far.

Interesting that Hawks players can run, get tackled - no prior etc. Roberts done cold - free in front of goal.

The last thing I needed after a soulless grand final performance was soft technical umpiring

Its nauseating already. One half into the season and over it already. That HTB call on Roberts was harsh to say the least, but the blatant incorrect disposal in the Amon (?) goal not even a mention.

The poos are just a bit clean so far for us, and taking their chances. We've looked good at points, but defensively look frail. Papley doesn't look fit and Grundy not a lot better.

Pleased with Wicks - I've been a big doubter of him going back, but so far doing a terrific job.

With a microsecond at most before being tackled. Dreadful decision. I reckon the Rampe 50 was harsh too - because it genuinely look like Meek was playing on (Rowbottom had a go too).

Our Defence is struggling does look a winner amongst them ! Hawks look desperate, I think teams have worked out if you bring intensity the swans will struggle - hope Cox can get us back into it

Nice to see our clearance game has improved ?

But I reckon it’s ultimately the difference between a best 22, and a best 16 with gaps being plugged.

We’re not out of it, but will need to do a lot right.

Wicks way on top of Watson so far - our only obvious winner however down the back.

How many goals has Hawthorn got from free kicks??Does anyone have the stats?? Every time it goes forward I am waiting for a whistle for a Hawthorn free.We are being screwed.

Corey Warner doing some good things as is Jordon tagging Day

We are awake

Need to cut out the stupid bumping when we have a free, loses games that sh8t

[longmile]

The umpiring of this sport is horrible. Really not good enough and it’s for both teams

[mcs]

Good term there. Good effort to wrestle back momentum then put some goals on. Need a few messy, wet weather goals in the last. Hope we can roll over the top of the Poos.

Seriously what has Matty Roberts done to the umpires. He's had at least 4, if not 5 or 6 not 15 calls, and I reckon not a single one of them was even closer to being correct lol.

Might be an exciting final term. Hopefully the power will come back on so I can watch it.

Florent …. Gamecosting capitulation

[UUaswan]

So much dumb coach killing sh8t

[Daisi]

hey lovely to see everybody again for another Swannies year. I hope you are all well. It looks like this was a good one to miss tonight? Just saw the last non- free. The AFL are big on the Hawks this year I think

[stevoswan]

I was never confident about this game. We have too many important outs.....and some of the frees to the Hawks have been soft, leading to goals. Nothing has changed with the umpiring and I think the Hawks might be this years AFL darlings......and the Seven commentary team is as painful and Victorian as ever.

We'll get better.....but my love for this game is waning.
