        Why that game was in melbourne ill never know.

        Victorian bias kills expansion.

          My girlfriend is certain that the Swans took money to throw the game. She says that's the way sporting events are decided in Thailand, so it seems quite normal to her. I told her that things don't work that way in Australia. But she watches all the Swans' games and says it's impossible for them to play so badly without something fishy going on. I am really having a hard time convincing her that the game was on the level. Funny the kind of impression that a novice can get from that performance.

            We definitely cannot blame umpiring today
            It was our own fault entirely, i completely agree with the person in the earlier post that said Jetta and Reid have to go, Jetta just always gets pushed aside too easily, half hearted tackles lots of times, sometimes he looks like he can't be bothered, with Reid, he is always injured, has great potential but never quite makes it, if he gets any sort of knock during a game, that's it, you don't see him.

            I felt pretty sorry for myself today, but then I think of all the people I had around me today, traveling from all over Australia to watch such a terrible effort from our side. I have been a swans supporter for a very long time, I am so disappointed in today's effort, but I know it will pass and I will be there to cheer my team on next year.

              I am gutted and cannot fathom how we could be so bad, 13 players with under 11 disposals and 8 with 9 or less simply unbelievable

                I cannot belive what I witnessed today. What a total waste of a season.

                But at least they all got paid huge amounts of money to do nothing.

                    Not sure why some people are blaming our defenders. Not one of their best days but they were'nt given much relief by a midfield that went missing en masse. Why Jetta was left on the ground mystifies me.

It is so refreshing after having a full forward like BBBH to have someone who is able to take a peck on the cheek from an old team mate and not thump him.

                        A few random thoughts.

                        Something tells me Ryan O'Keefe would've been handy out there today, a tackling machine when we were trying to stick tackles with sticky tape.

                        Some of the more inexperienced blokes might've felt the superstars would step up and they just needed to be bit players.

                        Mitchell set the tone with that early hit on Rohan. Really wanted to see one of our blokes to stand up and hand a few back. Just didn't happen.

                          And LLoyd was subbed when he was one of the few who could keep up with the opposition. After the game all and sundry mused that he must have been injured.

                              Was lloyd injured? No way they should have subbed him if he wasnt, as he qas one of the few actually laying some tackles and having a proper go.

                              Some of the stats from yesterday were just embarrasing. Jetta had just 4 touches, and McVeigh was pathetic with just 11 when we were desperate for him to lead.

                                After the first 10 minutes we seemed to lose the run in our legs. Was it just because Hawthorn exerted a lot more pressure or could it have been that we had worked too hard on the track or not hard enough, had players who missed games leading up to the finals and were found out under ultimate pressure or the lack of a real hard preliminary final.
