Round 13: Sydney v Richmond

[Gary]

The better team won tonight ... the dreamers on here you bag realists better have another think ... ill discipline laid the seed in the first half ... and then we just couldn't handle the pressure ... error rate that some don't think matters in easier games absolutely woeful ... backline disgraceful ... midfield struggled again ... no forward system ... if Buddy disappears so do we.

[Jeynez]

Might be one of those losses we needed, haven't been on our A game for the last month. Team needs a shake up

[Zlatorog]

Will Longmire dare to punish anyone? Shaw must retire. I'm sick and tired listening about his mistakes.

[Pmcc2911]

I know the guys don't deliberatly stop playing but that 2 nd half was the worst effort from the swans in a long time, absolutely pathetic

[Blue Sun]

Mindlessly bombing it into the forward line cost us. Pretty poor effort.

[Jeynez]

Shaw must retire. I'm sick and tired listening about his mistakes.

HAS to be the first to go, Jones (besides that one free kick) looked solid down back.
I have a bad feeling Horse will drop Mitchell instead

[WauchopeAnalyst]

Hannabery by far our best with Rohan. Just poorly coached and even worse discipline. Buddy' s mind was gone. Tippett crazy. Goodes can't hit a target at 20m and wont shot from outside 40m. How did nick get the kick? Tigers had 2 extra defenders but mids kicked in to them.

Worst sentence I heard was "Grundy to shaw to Grundy"

[Pmcc2911]

The reserves got flogged not a lot of pressure coming through.
Also first time in a long time Teddy has been so soundly beaten

[goswannies]

Deep breath ... positives:

Only lost by a few goals to our seemingly bogie side despite ...

nothing from our two big forwards after half time

Tom Mitchell only 10 disposals

Derickx wasn't Pyke

back 6 didn't show a lot of cohesion in the 2nd half

umpiring was ... i don't even have an adjective for how bad it was

[Swans500]

It was VERY clear that Lance was affected by the report....With a couple more ridiculously one sided umpiring decisions and the spirit was gone...first from Franklin and it VISIBLY spread.....Not saying that that is a nreal excuse...but human nature is what it is...I mentally predicted the overall result as soon as the Tippet report was added to the mix....n

[Mel_C]

I hate losing on a Friday night. It's going to be a long weekend.

Franklin was very sheepish in the 2nd half, but we just kept bombing to him 2 on 1, it wasn't until the last 5 mins that they moved Tippet back and he marked.
How long do you persevere with something that clearly isn't working.

Horse reacted way too slowly to the Buddy situation, his head was not in the game. We were beginning to dominate for 10-15 minutes there, but Rance killed nearly every single surge. If Tippet and Rohan were 1on1 down there could have been a whole different story
