Because we lack skill and we make incredibly basic errors over and over again...pick up the @#$@#ing ball....keep your #$%@#$ing feet! etc...etc...and also because we cannot get players clear for uncontested marks when the opposition is not exhausted.

Backline is holding under relentless pressure that quarter but we need a structure up forward.
Always outnumbered as the guys have left position but don't get back fast enough to put pressure on the Hawks defense !
Commentators say we seem to be running out of legs ... but Hawks had a tough game with limited bench and a day less to recover... Swans should finish stronger.

Watching the delayed telecast; rather depressing to see Shaw and Grundy give away the first three goals.

Back line cannot hold on forever. We desperately need to get some ball which is forward of the centre, otherwise we simply cannot score enough.

Ps I think our skills are as bad as I have seen them. We have too many players particularly in our defense who are struggling to hit players in zonal defences.

And finally I hate channel 7. I hate this hour delay. Listening on the radio is bloody annoying when there is simply no justification for having a delay.

And now I reckon we might have been broken. Hawks get first goal. And almost all of the first points. I am not sure that we have the ability to come back now.

I agree...I hate not being able to see what is happening. I think the Richmond game in a couple of weeks will also be on delay.

At least we get it totally live without commercials here in The USA!!!!....

**Melbournehammer** · 22 May 2011, 03:44 PM

Goodes you have to kick those to be a leader. I reckon that longmire needs to look at his forward line the whole thing is poorly structured and the team in one sense was shown to be poor last week against port.

**Swans500** · 22 May 2011, 03:46 PM

Idiots!!!!....

**IrishSwanPerth** · 22 May 2011, 03:47 PM

we havent got the game here in wa, so our skills are shocking again, @@@@ what is happening

**Mel_C** · 22 May 2011, 03:49 PM

What has happened to our ball winners? Sounds like the hawks are working harder than us.

**DeadlyAkkuret** · 22 May 2011, 03:51 PM

Omg we can kiss the finals goodbye..
