    Agree, it starts in the middle.

      I'm thinking this must be our lowest score of the year?

            We were more than capable of winning with this selected team though. Our best players all went missing, so there's no point arguing over which bottom 6 player should/shouldn't have played.

              mids were ordinary but when you go forward to a loose man all night cos your best marking forward is helping out an undersized defence it doesnt help

              we said all year rohan only needs 10 touches to be affective the disclaimer to that is that it is as a fwd

                Geelong player takes a mark with two players hanging of him. Story of the night.

                  Swans have fumbled their way to a horrible loss. if a team can't kick direct and pick up the ball cleanly when it is at their feet, then there is no hope. Plus, doesn't the Swans for the most part choke in finals. Something needs to change big time at the club if they want to win another flag..

                    Make no mistake.. tonight was lost in the stands. Again we see that we have no plan B,C,D. Since rd 6 we have lost to 1 style of game play, gee what a surprise that a team may look to use that against us, and what did we do to counter. Nothing !!!. How can a team be so poor and under prepared.

                      We managed to make an ordinary side look a lot better than they are. Really disappointing given how hard we've worked to get back into the running this year.

                      Either way, the winner tonight wasn't going to make the GF.

                        As is the intercept shortly after. Who took the swans away and where are they?

                            I was happy with the team we went in with, bar the Melican non selection, but we have just had a collective shocker. I am starting to worry they are carrying ghosts of '14 and '16 into crunch finals and it's screwing with them mentally. Very worrying. So much talent completely goes to waste.....

                              One of those nights where nothing went right. Out played n out coached. Now we can all look forward to Dawson stepping up n Florent/Hayward improvement n Aliir hopefully returning to form next year????

                                85% of the team is playing terribly. They structure has looked a mess from the start. The attitude has been awful. They've lost almost every contest. The coach has looked resigned from the second quarter. Team selection was poor. Those things are related.
