having unfit players on the field hurt us, but who do you honestly replace Goodes and O'Keefe (Who has been far from fit for a while) and Kennelly? If we had depth like Geelong its not so bad, but we dont.
Johnson is such an overated piece of trash imo- always has been always will be. A bludy tough nut granted (Ie not many would come back from that headclash), but as a footballer Ive never understood the massive wraps on him.
They will (like we would of) be absolutely smashed by Geelong imo."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Yeh but O'Keefe and Goodes were playing basically out of the forward line solely with a midfield that was winning more then their fair share of ball. That didnt happen this week. IMO though, those players werent the ones that won the game for us. And Im not at all blaming injuries for the loss- but it hindered us no doubt. But thats footy- and we were punished more for a lack of depth in the squad (Which happens sadly due to a sustained period of success/ a lack of bringing young playes into the squad for a long period of time) then the injured players playing tonight."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Well it probably wasn't the biggest factor, but it certainly contributed, kicking 9.15 is poor and we kick more behinds than goals in our matches way to often. Convert 14 or 15 of these 24 shots into goals we would have only lost by around a goal or 2, but i think the pressure the bulldogs put us under certainly affected our set shots as we were under pressure to kick it to keep us alive in the game.Comment

as usual we missed some very kickable ones that we had to kick. 3 I can think of are McVeigh and Hall in the 3rd quarter (McVeighs was especially annoying as he was going to play on but didnt when he had a good couple of steps on his opponent and an open run to goal).
The one that really hurt I thought was Kennelly's one in the 2nd quarter and another one (Cant remember who) that we missed that could of put us a bit over 2 goals in front.

At least we were there unlike West Coast!!Comment
-
seriously is that the measure of success that we were there and west coast weren't because to me getting blasted by a team whose form line reads as bad as the doggies says that the side is so far from winning a flag that we are just making up the numbers. and if we are making up the numbers 14 and 6th simply aren't that far apartComment
