    Should have been a mark and two frees to Curnow, but no, play on.

        Arrrgghhh frustrating as all heck. While Kane Cornes and co wank on mass in the commentary box, we are as much authors of our own downfall through dumb errors as anything else.

        Would be nice if the Umpires realise that you can pay high contact to both teams. 5 or 6 in that first half we should have had, but every single time a Swans player got anywhere near a lions player for similar free kick. Even when half were ducks.

        Our forward structure is just woeful tonight - it is just not working. But a lot of it continues to be a problem coming from the midfield not doing their job.

        I reckon Curnow is doing well however - should have 3 if they'd given take your pick free kick there at the end, and has competed well despite having about 7 on him. What Ladhams, Amartey and McDonald have been doing however I'm not so sure.
        "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

          They just refuse to play in front.

            Yes we dropped Roberts and kept Bice. Why? We are not handling the pressure at the moment. Memories of the 2024 GF. Though they have got a couple of lucky goals with blind kicks out of the pack.

              Who’s playing well? Charlie, Chad, Edwards, maybe Mills … that’s about it. So plenty of room to improve but fingers out time.

              And a couple of blokes putting their spot in the side at risk.

                If Amartey is smart he has his contract in his kit bag and has signed it at half time

                Grundy doing silly things in the middle, tough enough to win clearances against Brissy without him giving them away
