    Interesting to hear commentators go after Rohan, Jack, Rose and others

      Its about time the usual suspects were looked at due to lack of skill and onsistancy, Gary Rowan, Alir Alir, and Dan Hannerbery who has always managed to get plenty of ball but just gives it away

        The commentary was pitiful - but to be expected.

        Rohan needs a rest as does Jack. They need to fight their way back in. Rose has never shown enough for me - shows the gulf between NEAFL and AFL. We played like @@@@ and didn't get flogged by the 'best' team. Unusual.

            Totally warranted. Can forgive Rose - but poor effort from a few tonight.

              They have had just that extra bit of clinical edge in general that we lack. We have played alright though.

              God the inconsistency in umpiring drives me to derision though - if frees were paid consistently to both sides tonight for the same offences, it would of been a 1 kick game at most.

              But we really have killed ourselves with a lot of turnovers, a lot of unforced errors, and plenty of dumb decision making.

              But we are not far away - and could of won tonight with some luck go our way (that awful bounce for a critical goal in the 4th being a perfect example). The 26 point margin does not reflect the game imo - much like the margin in the '16 grand final did not reflect the overall closeness of the contest.

              Our passengers really got shown up badly tonight however. But at least we have a decent measure of where we are at - and its not too far away.

                It turned into a slaughter.

                On the positive:

                - I'm so glad that I get to watch Josh Kennedy play every week. The man's a freak.
                - Tommy McCartin is looking like a future star. Reads the game VERY well
                - Luke Parker is as tough as nails. Playing with one arm and one eye and he's still a champ
                - We still have some important players to come back (Reid, Melican, Paps)
                - I worked out the radio/tv combo so I don't have to listen to the fools on 7/FoxFooty for any Swans game ever again

                That's all I've got and I was really struggling to come up with even those!

                  They had double our scoring shots. Score line flatters us.

                    There were 3-4 who were worse than Hanners which given the stick he has got is saying something

                    Jack - horse needs to accept he?s done and drop him
                    Rohan - just happens too often
                    Rose - harsh for his first game back but so far off the pace
                    Hanners - trying hard but it?s just not working for him

                    Reid Paps Towers Fox Marsh and Melican all potential ins

                      We will never beat this team this year. Imagine if that was at the MCG... give them the cup now...

                        Early I know but I'm angry! Changes for next week, assuming Melican and Paps are ok.....OUT: Jack, Hanners, Rohan, Aliir, Rose, Heeney (if too concussed). IN: Melican, Towers, Papley, Fox?, Newman? Who?

                          Just too many passengers tonight.Buddy was on one leg as well. Hurt it early.

                          Please Fox, COR and Towers for KJ and Rohan and Rose unless Papley is fit.

                          Hanners just holds his spot.

                            Jeez I am glad you don't play or coach any football side - great spirit.

                            They are VERY beatable - compare them to Hawthorn 2012 who we beat - crazy difference in skill/ability

                              Too few contributors and too many stupid mistakes. Under pressure we played schoolboy footy.
                              Melican, Reid and Paps back will help but Jack, Rohan and Hanners need to go.

                                ? I worked out the radio/tv combo so I don't have to listen to the fools on 7/FoxFooty for any Swans game ever again?
                                So does it sync ok? I had it on mute since halftime but I do like hearing the crowd noise. That commentary team apart from Daisy makes me ears bleed.
