    So it's OK for a collingwood player to abuse the umpire because the siren has gone, that's a good tactic. IMHO I reckon for that effort on the siren the ball should be given straight to the Swans on the 50 mtr line at the beginning of the next quarter.

      we are disfunctional.....why do we not change or show some different dynamic when challenged. Our kick outs are woeful, decision making ordinary and no-one wants to back themsleves for fear of making a mistake....so what do they do? make a mistake.

      Ordinary......

        Not to mention how poor we've been at even getting it inside 50 - no more than 30 I'd guess.

          Three Quarter Time

          Collingwood 8.12 60
          Sydney 2.7 19

          Worst performance by the Swans so far this year. Very lucky to get that 2nd goal.

          Amazing stat: the Swans have scored 19 points at full time on 4 occasions.
          I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adore

            Last year's worst defeat I believe was Pies by 38 we are trailing by 41, I cannot believe we came out and got clobbered exactly the same again. Malthouse stuck to his plan....and we stuck to ours only problem? His plan won the last four!!!!! plus 1 it appears.

              dirty night, i know they cant win them all. I can accept losses are going to happen, but how can they always have so many more numbers at every contest?

              why havent we seen a few more moves or at least a change in plans. Lets get the ball and go long, create opportunities one out, try and run off the pies players make the accountable.

              Late in that quarter leo had the ball 4 pies near him, where are their opponents. From the kick ins move it quick and direct. We will lose anyway no doubt so why not go for it and mix it up?

                  we are dreadful at that stadium, we are dreadful against collingwood, we are glacial across the forward line, midfield and defence. we lack ideas, can't get it when we get it they zone off our useless players and say kick it to LRT, etc cos they can't hurt us and goodes deserves a great deal of criticism (as barry hall did earlier this season) for throwing away his record on a completely unnecessary incident.

                      looking to next week......what do we do?

                      Roos needs to be accountable here along with alot of the players.

                      As a Tasmanian, i am happy to see that if Western Sydney is going to get a showcase like this, then no-one will support a team there. Bring a team to Tassie!

                        Is this in jest? A few chickens have come home to roost tonight. We are a long way off the top teams and our ladder position flatters us.

                          This should be the last game at this ground for a while - it is pathetic.

                          No bounce, and divots galore. Jill Lindsay needs to get some new glasses.

                          If the AFL buy the stadium (60% chance) then they should rule out most Rugby games at the ground. Not like 6000 people turning up is keeping it afloat anyway.

                                Roos should try something different. No chipping, kick it long, play on at every good opportunity. Collingwood are flooding our backline so some fast play into F50 would put their backmen under more pressure.
