    Poor to terrible games from Goodes, MOL, Hall, McVeigh, Bevan.

    Pretty average from Jolly, Buchanan, Fosdike, Dempster.

        What a load of complete and utter crock.

        I hate the bombers........ dumb footballers drive me crazy.


        What do we have to do to get Paddy Ryder? He put MOL to shame tonight.
        Fumble,fumble ,slip over ....he was a travesty.


        Just venting my spleen.

        Goodes needs a brain transplant.

        How slow did we look.

        Leo Barry did some great things in that last quarter.

            Well he hasn't been playing well and he didn't play well for most of the night, but he wasn't alone in that. I think his efforts around the ground in the fourth will give him confidence and a touch of touch.

            I can't see him being dropped for Schmidt after his final quater effort.
            I was wrong about Gerard and his hair.

                    ...and therein lies the problem.
                    He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                        Most frustrating moment was when Kirk had the ball out on the wing, with loads of space - but didn't want to go for a run. I was screaming "hurry up, come on runnnnn"

                        In the old days, Maxfield would have been down towards the 50m arc in a flash.

                                Yes we can all complain about that and other crappy umpiring (like the ridiculous free against Malceski for holding the ball in our forward line), but the Swans have only themselves to blame for losing that.

                                        Those 2 misses (of everything) by Buchanan really proved to be costly. He should of scored at least 2 points.

                                            I'm not complaining, like I said, it was the worst game we've played since Rocket took off. That call was impossible to make.

                                                Actually I thought the Malceski free was there. He killed the ball because he was 1 on 2. Thats against the rules. Defensively he may not have had much choice, but that doesnt make it right.

                                                    If Buchanan took a few more steps in the first Q, he could've goaled twice. But shanked it, crap kick.

                                                        Umpires not great...but we didn't deserve to win...was that a record (all time anywhere) for ckangers. On several occasions Kirk took an eternity to do nothing with the ball. Has any team in the history of the game has as many dud disposers as us? Buchanan is brave & a good ball getter...but his disposal was woeful.
