Match thread - Rd 12 v Crows

[The Big Cat]

I’ve always been a “glass half full” kind of supporter, but I never thought I’d see a Swans team serve up this utterly uncompetitive crap.
Don’t really know what to say, except for the first time ever, I have left the game at half time.

Don’t come back if you’re just a fair weather supporter. Don’t talk about effort by the players if you have haven’t got the strength to stay to the end.

The Swans have served up garbage time and time again this year. The effort isn’t there, nor are the basic skills.

Get off your high horse.

There has to be "something wrong " in the swans camp. I have been watching swans games games since 1945 , I would put tonight's game as one of my top ten worst games ever. What has happened to our swans "win at all costs" It looks like we have only 3 players trying .

So right Old S.M. Blood. Grundy, Melican and maybe Ramps and McCartin possibly. 75 point deficit at 3/4 time- a display to be forgotten with difficulty.. Bottom line: Crows play like a team and we don’t.

[Velour&Ruffles]

I assume that Grundy has cuckolded someone of great importance in the AFL hierarchy. There is no other explanation for the stark difference between the trivial or imagined ruck infractions he gets penalised for and the flagrant infractions against him which pass unpenalised.

[Foreign Legion]

We have at least 4 players who should not be getting a game and we cant drop them because our reserves are worse.

[Foreign Legion]

I hate to say it but I don't think Cleary is going to make it - just does not read the play.

[Foreign Legion]

Blakey still on the last line of defence - it may turn around soon.

[Foreign Legion]

Not only have people left the ground - they have left the thread!

The Crows have played in front (of their man) all night

Grundy great effort. McCartin, Melican and maybe Heeney a pass. The rest can have a think about it.

[Foreign Legion]

We missed Wicks' run a hell of a lot. The positives - well no one will get suspended I think. Thats how low things are.

100%. Is that a confidence thing? The buck stops with the coach but we only had a handful of players who tried most of the night. I named them earlier and can add Rowy to the list. Lloyd, Corey Warner, Cleary, Adams, Bice maybe Campbell don’t deserve a game next week but we probably only have Mills to come in- a very sorry state of affairs.

What can be done guys? We are loyal supporters but a 90 point hiding at home takes some digesting. Cox and Co will have nightmares for a while, that’s for sure!
Good night everyone- we have to be patient until we get Errol, Paps, and even Amartey and Wicks back. If Francis is fit next week perhaps Cox will move the Lizard further up. He has to do something!

[The Big Cat]

I wish people would stop this rubbish about not trying. Yes, our performance was horrible, but we did win contested possessions, won stoppage clearances and halved centre clearances. We had 83 tackles. They are key indicators of effort. The fact that virtually every one of the crows scoring shots was a goal magnified the margin. Expected scores from the shots taken were 102 Crows 53 Swans.

[Old S.M.Blood]

Always "Next week" as we use to say in the old days The Tigers next week A WINN????? you never Know.
