Like um, the um, Grand Final?"You hope in a way the players put it down as a loss even though we won the game," Roos said on Tuesday.
"In a way we played poorly enough and the Kangaroos played well enough to win the game so the players should take that out of the game." -
They say a team needs to lose a Grand Final to win one, so if the players can be convinced they lost last September, they will be hungrier come this year's finals.
Well done Roosy!

Who says the team played poorly in the GF? Surely it was a tight, tough battle in which both teams had their periods of control but that was still up for grabs at the end of the match.Originally posted by Sanecow

I've never heard any suggestion before that the Swans played that match poorly.Comment

Swans should have run away with it in the third quarter. Game should have been locked away at 3QT. We definitely played poorly for periods in the 1st, 3rd and final quarters, and didn't really make the most of our opportunities in the second either.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

One could argue that the Eagles should have had it wrapped up by quarter time, given the way they dominated clearances in the first quarter.
I'm not suggesting it was a stellar performance by the Swans but I'd resist any suggestions that the team was consistently outplayed by its opponent or that it "stole" the game in any regard. Nor do I think the Eagles would have been considered particularly lucky had Seaby taken that final mark rather than Barry. I just think it was an evenly contested game where the Swans were the ones who happened to be ahead when the final siren sounded.Comment

Definitely, although when we had the chance to run away, West Coast pressure was much reduced.Originally posted by liz

We could have busted the game open in the third quarter though...Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Absolutely! The missed set shots early in the third killed me. We could almost have had a 5 goal lead before WC kicked their third goal for the match!Originally posted by NMWBloods
