Reid robbed of a mark and goal by the umpires once again, what's this blokes name, deserves a thread (or something) just for that decision. We just cannot get on the right side of the umps

FFS its not NETBALL you stupid yellow maggots!!! Absolutely ridiculous call and surely the goal umpire in that situation should be able to say to the field umpire no you are wrong. He was about 3 1/2 foot away while the field umpire was a mile away! Umpiring has been marginally better this week, but from telly its looking as inconsistent as ever.
We should be smashing them- if it wasn't for that second quarter snooze for 10 minutes we would be comfortably winning the game. Hopefully that terrible call will fire us up and we can kick on in the 2nd half. I know Sammy is still got a way to go, but every week I think he is showing improvement and he will be a beast of a player in a couple of seasons. Love the work of Luke Parker too, he is a very solid young player indeed and Birdy finally seems to be showing the potential we all thought he had when he was playing in the reserves."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Umpires haven't been too bad but a couple of strange decisions. McGlynn gets tackled after having it for a split second, ball spills free and he gets pinged for "letting it go". Reid does a perfect body on body, marks and kicks a goal. Pinged for hands in the back and the replay clearly shows he used the hip in the contest. Still that dumb play by Mattner let them back in.Comment

Sorry mods - looks like the game changers are gonna get their own thread again this week ...
What have we done to deserve such crap from the umpires! Unbelievable!Comment

I reckon Jude Bolton is a member of that very rare club - a player who gets better after he hits 30. Not stylish or brilliant but usually effective.
How come he wasn't considered as a Co-Captain??Comment

But it's not he umpires here. The stats are 207-157 possession, seventeen shots to ten, double contested possessions etc. The reality is that we simply can't win a game which we simply dominated. It reminds me of Adelaide all over.Comment

I think jetta is going ok. He's getting it on the wing which is what we want and if he can just deliver a couple we will get stuff out of him.Comment

Jeez Kennedy is quiet - does anyone think he is doing a tagging role?
55% disposal efficiency according to MMM - pathetic.Comment

The older players need to step up. Tadhg has hardly been sighted, took a good mark but is being done. Goodsie is ok & Ryano but Bolts is not match fit & it is obvious, the f/kick & the kick after tell the story. Our back half have done everything they can to give the game to the Dogies. Marty's kick was atrocious, Reg's h/ball was abysmal, Birdie should have given the ball off instead of taking them on. Shaw keeps on giving it up although a little better about 40% in that quarter. We are not taking advantage of our advantage in disposals, clearances & inside 50's. The delivery to the forwards is still kick it long & hope. Kenneddy shouldn't have missed that goal it was a sitter. Reid should have 4 by now. Forward Coach Blakey I think you havce a lot of questions to answer & Longmire why would you appoint a stopper, mid cum back as a Forward Coach, what a joke!!!Comment

With the smashing we are giving them in most key stats we really should be 3-5 goals up,yes the dogs had a good 5-7 minutes there but is anyone else getting the feeling this could be another game where our bad kicking and failure to capitalise on oppurtunities is going to come back on us late in the game?I hope im wrong.Comment

Ridiculous. As another has said, AFL needs to get real and join the 21st century. Video review of big calls like that (especially ones that change goal outcomes) needs to be available. If the three maggot watched that on replay, even the one that paid it would likely change his mind.Comment

An example of the 1%ers we don't do. Parker a little one, two handpass to Bird; instead of Bird then putting on the block for Parker he watches as he is run down.Comment
