This is a set back to a month ago and takes some of the excitement out of the coming pre-season....doing some real dumb things again....

Hardly. It's at the MCG against one of the flag favourites, and our kids are still on a huge learning curve. Give them a break.

Not really - it's to be expected with a team mix of young players and a few who need to retire.

[Trickster]

Yeah only 'cos we are not the team we were and we are one man down not because 34 points is such a huge margin, although I think it may as well be 100. Hope I am eating humble pie and apologising to you in half an hour.

Let's hope!
I'm watching on seven at the same time-it is strange to be seeing 30-39 and know it is 43-73

[Swans500]

What I mean is...we have near on beaten two higher teams than this!!!! And now back to normal!!!!

I agree plus this is not something you can learn in pre-season. These last few games have been the best thing for the Swans for next year, and Bird's injury appears to have given Hannebery a go so he will be better off for it next year. Let's face it we were never a realistic threat for the finals so better to play the good teams and learn from it.

[Lohengrin]

We need to find a bigger and stronger key defender.

[Swans500]

How about the hold on Jolly FFS?

[Lohengrin]

Goal to Goodes - worth a few Brownlow votes.

How about the hold on Jolly FFS?

Ask us that in about 40 mins and we'll be able to tell you what it looked like.

Lohengrin, bring on the Goodes votes, after Ablett and Selwood's performances this weekend, he needs to keep with the pace.

And another midfielder to help McVeigh to free up Goodes in the forward line.

[Lohengrin]

Disappointing effort that we're so far behind considering that we've stopped Didak, Davis, Swan, Pendlebury, Cloke, Lockyer, and Shaw.

[Lohengrin]

And another midfielder to help McVeigh to free up Goodes in the forward line.

Yes, he's having to come up the ground too far meaning we're falling down across half forward.

J Bolton has been useless today and the rest of the midfielders are too young still.

[annew]

I am not that disappointed. Who is on Davis and whos is on Didak?

3 goals to Goodes, he's been great. There should be Brownlow votes coming his way.
