Tigers definitely playing better than us, but umpires have missed at least 2 50s for us. That bull@@@@ goal turnover and Newmans awesome chase and tackle would of been holding the ball any day of the week.

How can there be no hard and clear rules

[Auntie.Gerald]

We are also fumbling in part because there is a complete lack of easy options

We are forcing our contested against a team that is out smarting when to play contested and when to drop off for an easy uncontested option

We are not being flexible in our approach and the Tigers are going to town on us premeditated

We have been a blue print for contested foootybfor years and now every team can see how to break us down via pre emoting our constested movements and patterns

We are so crap at the G. It's depressing being here watching this.

We needed to take our chances earlier. The end of the quarter we didn't know how to kick into the 50.

Useless zone defence, Rohan as a back, mids all in and no receivers. Well done Horse.
Glad I didn't go.

Just got to accept that we'll get the rough end of the stick 9 times out of 10. Doesn't matter anyway, 2017 isn't our year.

Been so jaded since the 2016 GF. Over this bias, its so obvious

[troyjones2525]

Wow. They are just a lot better more professional unit than us right at the minute. We have player trying to do too much when it's obvious the pressure is right up! (Jones), we have players who butcher the ball inside 50 when their players are surgical (Kennedy, Hannebury, + others), We are giving away silly undisciplined free kicks while trying to be physical, and finally we haven't taken any of our limited chances in front of goal!

No wonder the commentators are all about Richmond! They are killing us!!!

Need a huge next 3 qtrs if we can turn it around...

Two completely different rule books being applied in that quarter. And who made the decision to overturn the Jack goal? Absolutely no evidence that the ball was touched.

time for huddo to stop broadcasting sxwans Cant forget nic bloody davis.

Bad swans have turned up, umpire usual disgrace, commentators rubbish, and did you know Nankervis used to play for swans

[Industrial Fan]

This isn't getting better

[Auntie.Gerald]

Why do our players look confused?

Why are they not executing even in easy situations ?

The kick by Heeney out to no body off the 50m arc - how does that happen ?

How is a team allowed to just kick hopelessly down the line to nothing when so many other options if he kicked sideways and backwards instead of forcing to a contested situation ?

[Billericay]

Hard to watch

I really can't blame our players. How would you feel expecting a fairly arbitrated game and then have opposition players scragging you, headlocking you, tripping you, shoulder charging your head..and getting no protection ? Sorry, I know this is a full contact game, but there are rules in place to protect players from serious long term injuries, and our players are not getting that protection today...

So if the players get disillusioned from the umpiring and tend to give up, I can't blame them..

[Blue Sun]

Could they get any worse? No composure. The coaches need to sit down and work out what to do when being dominated.
