Match Day Thread, Round 15 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney Swans

[bennyfabulous]

Disgraceful skills & umpiring isn't helping. Think we will still win.

[Melbourne_Blood]

Blaming the umpires lie a cop out. We are playing horrendously

[Wardy]

The kings of the VFL triad have also had their fingers into the Swans pie. Different rules for Sydney with the umpires. MCLACHLAN, FITZPATRICK and MCGUIRE have started a vendetta against the Swans and their control the game.

I really think you are clutching at straws there. We are not as good as we think we are - Kieran jack is not playing like a captain should - the responsibility may be too much for him (especially after last years GF KILLING) Yes McGuire has influence (and just hates us as we hate him) but to suggest the other two have it in for us is a bit far fetched.

these @@@@ing umpires are corrupt @@@@ing @@@@s

[WauchopeAnalyst]

Fitzpatrick has been named in plenty of forums, not swans forums, as a Swans hater. Mclachlan stated 'on the couch' that Sydney couldn't have everything so we got a 2 year trade ban. Maybe Wardy open your eyes and think.

I am sick of this bull@@@@ umpiring ????!!!!!! We get pinned for holding the ball while they can take as long as they like. Our forwards get held and scragged and it is called play on while they get soft frees for holds. Makes me so mad!!

[swanspant12]

Spot on. Absolutely ridiculous decisions being paid against us and brisbane copping nothing. Honestly these umpires need to be investigated for corruption.

[Daisi]

I think we need to have a serious look at our half time warm downs/ups or whatever they do during that time. Obviously something is going wrong with the terrible 3rd quarters we are playing.


Gee you'd think that we were tanking wouldn't you? and that the umpires are taking?

[Nico]

Skills are horrendous, but it is not just that. They lack energy. Brisbane is just working so much harder. It just has the feeling that some sort of lethargy overcomes the team and they can't find space because they all stand around with hands on hips waiting for someone else to step up, but no one does. Nothing goes right. Reminds me of a certain game last year...

We come off the bye and get done, then a 10 day break. Maybe they bludge on the track on a long break. We don't look fit. Parker has been really lazy.

Every week Tippett gets his arms chopped and gets nothing.

Good move. We subbed off Pyke. No need for a lumbering ruckman.

[frankee]

frees 18 Bris to 10 Syd. Not an excuse though we are playing poorly

And you believe everything you read?? Just accept we aren't as good as we think we are!!!

[ernie koala]

Towers...you've got be joking..He is terrible, there's no other word for it.

[swanspant12]

Christensen is a @@@@ing disgrace the little @@@@ing @@@@

[Nico]

Why do we waste our time with Towers. Umpiring mmm. Free against Rampe, strewth.
