Late Change for tonight's game - Davis OUT (Official Game Thread)

[573v30]

That $10 million carrot must be looking sweeter and sweeter for Hall.

Darkest day (night) in years. Need to kick, say, two in a row?

Have only kicked three all game, two in a row is a fairytale at this stage.

[Thunder Shaker]

Rocca is gone for that unnecessary hit on Dempster. Two weeks minimum.

[Legs Akimbo]

I wonder how the Bank of Premiership Credits is looking right now? We cannot keep carrying players on reputation or potential. It is performance that counts.

Hall is a liability...Wakelin looks second class aginst other teams but looks a million dollars against B. Hall.

Bring him off or do a Blight and put him in defence.

[Foreign Legion]

Well, I'll say it, Hall is playing like crap. Can't hold on to a mark and IMHO is the reason why we are playing badly.

The stupid thing is we are still in it - but would need a miracle to win.

3 Quarter Time

Collingwood 8.13 61
Sydney 3.4 22

Absolutely disgraceful. The best the Swans can do is win the quarter and it'll be a miracle on biblical proportion to steal the game off the Pies. That's right, steal because Sydney don't deserve to win the game. Barry Hall's performance has been poor, can't mark and the Pies quickly rebound off his mistakes and the goal to Cloke has essentially nailed the coffin. I hope Joffa isn't at Telstra Stadium with his gold "Game Over" jacket.

not only aren't we scoring, we dont evn look like scoring, man this has been the WORST game of sydney i have seen is such a long timee. the games over, pretty much

[satchmopugdog]

How good is that Pendlebury????????

[Chookbilly]

this is disgraceful.
fumble, fumble, fumble, drop a mark, miss a target. fumble, fumble....
It's painful to watch.

How can one team be so much cleaner with the ball in the same conditions.... The swans are beginning to believe their own hype.

Hope roos gives them a massive blast, and drops 2 or 3 players ofter this game.

Hally is a shadow of the player he was, lost all confidence, just doenst look like it atm.

When was the last time J bolton was front and centre in the forward 50, second to it every time. Very weak link and Buchanan is lamentable tonight.

Can anyone tell me why McVeigh refuses to kick the footy.

Again Fosdike IS our midfield. Defence is playing well but CHF doesn't exist for us. What about straight down the centre.

If Hall is ganged up on why not kick to Grundy or someone. The brains are really struggling tonight.

[Melbournehammer]

where do you begin. i thought losing to north and the saints was frustrating - but we actually got the ball occasionally against those teams. the reality is that there is not a single player in this team who should walk off that field with pride - hall has dropped everything coming to him, every midfielder has been flogged, every defender beaten repeatedly.

i am of the view that the problems in this team start in the middle - unless kirk gets the ball no-one else has the skills to get it and goodes is incredibly poor at the moment - and our forward line has fumbled every time they have attempted tried to pick up the ball

buchanan and schneider have disappeared, ablett never seen,

the real absence of speed to break lines is obvious

Everyone plays well on Hall these days, and I'm almost going to admit that he's just not as good as we think he is

[Legs Akimbo]

I hope that Richard Colles gives Roos a big blast.
