    Do you know the answer to that?
    It was evident what the players did to change. SFA!!!
    Some leadership and experience out there today wouldn't have gone astray.

      We are no chance to win a flag or do anything decent in finals. Is that not what they play for??? And yes, I have given up on this year.

        Wow, how bad was that?

        Turns out the Grundy omission was an awful call. Marsh is not an AFL defender.

        So too the decision to play Cameron. He was poor.

        I think our inexperience was exposed. We let our standards drop and then we didn't have players able to stand against the tide to bring it back. Season-worst games for Florent, Jones and Ronke. Selecting Newman is pointless.

        Poor games by Smith and Franklin. Hewett needs to contribute more with the ball.

        Outstanding game by Aliir. Kennedy did what he could.

            It's a ridiculous statement.
            Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector

                We just got absolutely spanked by the worst team in the competition at the contest. The only midfielder who won the ball or made a tackle stick was Joey. The rest were kinda just standing there and doing nothing of consequence at all. We can talk about our defensive / offensive structure, coaching, Buddy, team selections - you name it. But at the end of the day, if we continue to get smashed at the contest, then the rest is completely irrelevant. So who can support JPK? In the past he would've had his mates Jack and Hanners but they both look gassed for 2018. Parker looks great up forward but pretty average at the contest. Heeney, Ollie, Hayward and Paps seem to run a bit hot and cold as midfielders. Maybe Dawson needs a go - I heard the commentators mention he laid 20 plus tackles in the Neafl today. But at the end of the day, our only genuine option for 2018 is for the players we have to step up.

                  Doesn’t matter in the scheme of things, I guess. Swans aren’t flag contenders, merely making up the numbers. Here’s hoping they serve up a better performance next week. And please, put Grundy back in the team.

                    he deserves it , his coaching is not getting any better. Players I think have stopped listening, and maybe his selection need exploring, While I agee Cameron deserved a go perhjaps Sinclair didn't like it, he was terrible, The back line was pathetic perhaps they didn't like reg not being there.

                      That’s not the point. The point is that he was playing good NEAFL football consistently and had earned his spot (probably ages ago). He had to get a game some time. This would have seemed a good time, pre-game. Hindsight, after a loss, sure doesn’t look as good. But he had to debut some time. Bud & Sinkers won’t be around forever and while Cameron didn’t have a spectacular debut, but Buddy - by his standards - was quiet. Sinclair was pretty well beaten for hit outs (Darcy was 3rd best hit outs on the ground).

                        One of the worst games I've seen in the last 6 yrs or so
                        To me that is the worst game by the Swans since 1994.

                          Ha, I was at that game and you are correct - that was as bad as it gets. This wasn't quite that awful but it is right down there.
                          My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

                            Where’s Liz, the voice of reason, when you need her.

                            I think it was Gold Coast who changed after quarter time and we couldn’t go with them. 11 goals to 2 in the last 3 quarters

                              So you believe that modestly higher draft picks are better for this club than playing finals, whether we are contenders or not? Are you suggesting that it would be better for our younger players to miss out on the invaluable experience that comes with finals? This is before I even point out how ridiculous a statement it is from a fan perspective.

                                Might be something in that.
