Sydney v Hawthorn

[DisgruntledGoat]

It's going to be very difficult to watch the 2nd half.

I don't count myself as a Fairweather supporter, and I'm not a bandwagon jumper. I'm just shocked and disappointed at the moment.

[Blue Sun]

The sad thing is this is our best team

Best team, yes, but not the best we've played. Swans are better than Hawthorn at their best.

[bloodbrother]

it is definitely not gone yet, they can chip the margin back by 3quarter time to something manageable around 15 pts ,then we can win.but midfield have picked a bad day to have a shocker of a half ..turn it round bloods..

[Ludwig]

I suppose it's okay to start talking about trades and the off-season now.

Matt80 -- over to you!

[Daisi]

Blue Sun, don't apologise, I am in disbelief too...I mean it's like there was no preparation at all....did they have a strategy going in? It's a major disappointment for fans, members and especially for those who travelled to Melbourne to see it...we all deserved a better effort...let's hope they try and give us a decent one in the next half...

[longmile]

Too many passengers, Jetta, Rohan, Hanneberry, Jack
Goodes and Buddy have been sensational.
I'd substitute Jetta out for Bird for more inside grunt and some actual tackling pressure. We are really missing the likes of Bolton or O'Keefe, just an midfield leader to standup

Apparently not

I sincerely hope that I'm wrong and you're right.

Today's effort is far from their best, any Swannies supporter in the last 4-5 years will agree with me.

Let's get through the game. I'm tipping Sam Mitchell for Norm Smith and a narrow win to the Swans.

That is some amazing optimism, I hope you're on the money!

I can roll with this

[MarshallG]

Once the ball goes to ground, we are screwed. Not one Swan in the best 10 on the field. Not playing as a team. Totally rattled and the biggest disappointment is no one is standing up. No One.

Who's missing most?

Kennedy - doing anything substantial
Parker
McGlynn
Jetta
Rohan - couple of good things, but generally missing
Reid

Hopefully it doesnt end up a drubbing and have repurcussions for us and our confidence next year
