Match Day Round 10 Swans vs. Suns

[troyjones2525]

Add Rampe to that too! I've had enough of watching him kick it off the side of his boot!

Can't be like Kangaroos. Scott claimed that their would be big changes and their crap and they just dropped 2 kids and they do the same thing every time, and they are 13th. No change this week for us maybe Robbo, Harry or Jake. No Rampe or Shaw out.

No doubt one of the clowns on here will put some sort of brave face on this performance ... it has been the most pathetic error riddled effort I seen from the Swans in over 60 years ... not to mention the understrength nature of the Suns team ... apart from Hanners ... it is just unforced error after unforced error ... none of them deserve to be paid this week.

Good win. 4 points is 4 points.

I said it at half time but this performance can be summed up in one word: "lazy".

So often a player would fumble an easy mark when they were metres in the clear or kick 2 metres off target with no pressure. Our entries into the forward 50 were disgraceful. We really seem to excel at making bad teams look half decent.

[WauchopeAnalyst]

Just 23 points in a half plus Reid after the bell. Just rubbish.

Good win but a terrible second half. I wonder what the excuse is going to be

[Mel_C]

Can't even comment it was so bad.

Next week no excuses under the roof.

What is wrong with Kennedy? Pyke seems to be playing to instructions given to him by a Martian ... alternatively he should not be playing at all ... cannot possibly be a game in which we have made more unforced errors ... the level of discipline / quality control ... the same skill error over & over to the extent that you can predict it ... what a disappointing game to watch ... like I said earlier there is always a clown on here prepared to give the we got 4 points song ... if you can walk away from tonight saying that you have no passion for football let alone for the Swans.

It was not a good win unless you judge "good" by the margin ... it was simply a disgraceful performance that at best constitutes an "ugly win".

[frankee]

4 points...

Good win. 4 points is 4 points.

Agree. Rarely do the Swans outright demolish the opposition. We usually win comfortably (no matter how crap the opposition) without blowing them out of the water ... or if it's a close, we can usually be counted on to keep on pushing until the end ... if we lose those ones (eg Freo, Dogs) they will likely have kept on plugging away (in both of those games we had more scoring shots). We also seem to struggle in the wet for some reason at the moment.
All the whinging about our performance in this game ... it was a typical Swans-like, blue-collar performance from a potentially white-collar side on paper. Solid, if not spectacular, performance. The quality of our opposite is often the barometer of our performance.

Hmmmmm

Next week !!

[Mountain Man]

4 points and it looks like no injuries

[Ampersand]

Only 16 of Hanners 42 possessions were effective. Even Jetta and McVeigh struggled to hit a chest. Really don't like Reid in the forward 50. As usual, the rain came and our skills left.

Can't think of a positive except for Grundy who was largely solid.

[Mug Punter]

Seriously guys, take a good lie down and relax will you.

I agree it wasn't one of our best wins for the season but we are 8-2 and looking good at the turn. We have had a couple of excellent wins this year (Port and Hawks) - I'd prefer us to be grinding out wins at this stage instead of playing the lights out to be honest. Calling that performance disgraceful is way OTT as far as I am concerned but I did also find it very frustrating at times to watch.

Agree though that I am expecting an improved performance next week despite us getting the 4 points

Was very disappointed by both Tippett and Rampe. Kennedy is having a quiet period but I'll back him to come good
