Outcoached and outplayed..

Nick Smith's complete lack of skill has killed us today! The umpiring has been bad but we simply have not handled the pressure and the players need to have a real hard look at themselves to dish up that rubbish at home!

What is the actual final quarter free kick count?

I agree, but god that 50 call was a big one when we had all the momentum.... as always no discussion of that key decision let alone a replay. But our second half has been dreadful.

Not sure, but I can?t remember the last Sydney free. We?ve been monstered by the umps.

[Panttz]

Lots of unpaid frees for us, lots of dropped marks, even more slippery hands. Really average performance from us after half time.

Let me be the first to say that was Cunningham's best game for the club.

Umpiring was certainly crap. We could not get a holding the ball but they did when they needed them. Saw about 4-5 blatant throws that three umpires did not notice. Still, that did not decide the game - are the Swans fit??

Let down by the same old players, but you cant expect miracles. Maybe we, as a list, just aren't that good. (Those words could come back to haunt me).

[Foreign Legion]

Possibly the least influential game I have seen Rampe play.

Outcoached and outplayed..

Can't say that had anything to do with coaching. Our decision making was poor, field kicking poor and out pressured in the second half. The number of times players had the ball, and clear in the forward fifty, but for whatever reason had to handball. Whereas Port had a ping inside 50 and they came off.

So I was at the game till half time when I had to take tired kids home. I remember thinking "well at least we seem to be getting some frees". We were about 5 frees ahead at half time I think.

Then we finish the game 3 frees behind! Did we even get one in the 2nd half? Did the umps deliberately get a bit of a buffer in the first half so they could use some against us in the second?

Feeling a little conspiracy theory-ey and it's only game 2.

Our second half was absolutely putrid bar the first 10 minutes of the last quarter till it got too close for the maggots liking. Then we reverted to type.

Early in the last quarter it was 16 frees each. Certainly in the last 10 minutes they were inconsistent. That 50 against Florent was rubbish as that was happening all game. I commented that they have dropped that rule because of a little criticism after round 1. But when the conditions became greasy we failed to adapt.
