Swans vs Dogs: In-game hobnob (aka the game day thread)

They were too good and too strong as I expected them to be. And we were murdered by the umps (limping right now after kicking our sofa after that appalling decision vs Goodes that ended in a goal to the Dogs - crucial time of the game too when we'd dominated the forst 10 mins of the 2nd qr).
I guess we're learning that our depth isn't what we thought it was. Need some big strong bodies back in there.Comment

Certainly noticed this to. We weren't helped at least twice if not 3 times early on when we got free kicks and the umps stopped us from playing on or bought the play back.
I think in reality the biggest problem we have now is that when we have a fit and ready to go top 22, they are probably able to match it with most sides in the league. but when we have a few key players out, than there is absolutely no depth in those positions and we struggle.Comment

Absolutely - his opponent has murdered us the last two weeks. Desperately needs a break, as he's giving us very little atm.Comment

We are missing our entire forward line...
Bradshaw...not there
White...Playing in ruck
Mycglyn....injured
Moore..Injured
Goodes there but also in midfield
We beat them in inside 50's just couldn't put it on the score board.
Had we had our proper structure of Bradshaw, White, Mcglynn, Moore, Goodes + a resting midfielder today would have been a different store.

I wonder if the 9 day versus 6 days between games had some influence.Comment

Just back from the game. We were never in it, even when we were in it. They looked to do it so much easier the first quarter. At the first break I thought it could have been 100 points!
As much as we need him, LRT is still as crap as ever.
Good to see Hall finally getting some free kiks thoughComment

Same argument as a couple of weeks ago really, but I can think of few tougher jobs on a footy field than playing as an undersized, makeshift ruckman. Anytime that bounce doesn't go dead straight you're screwed, and at every stoppage around the ground White would have had to use all muscle whilst Hudson/Minson can rely on girth to hold position.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

When Jude Bolton is your hit-up forward you know you're in trouble. We had as many inside 50s as the Dogs, just not enough midfield grunt to put the ball in as cleanly, and not much to aim for up forward.
Goodes manages to get the most amazing frees paid against him.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment
