    Yup. 10 goals doesn't win games any more and seemingly everyone else runs faster for longer.

      Deserved win to Bombers .
      They could trouble a few in September.

        Not likely, Swans just poor and umpiring assisted.

          1966 for me. The Swans have always been screwed by the umpires. It was the same situation when we were at Lakeside Oval. Historically it's been because we had a small and quiet fan base. I now suspect it's because of the hatred that the VFL has for us.

          People might call this sour grapes or bias but just look at the stats.

            Unlike the Swans. I think we are really missing some experienced players.

                Give me a spell . We are playing absolute garbage football , as we have for most of the year and our weaknesses ( in cattle and in coach ) are being exploited ruthlessly . Our game plan is crap , if we even have one , and our players seem to have lost the ability to run hard defensively and stick tackles . Oh yeah , and we don’t know to score , which is kind of essential to winning a game of footy.

                  Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

                    Well been hoping for that for a while. Will see how we go without his errors off half back! Won't make us any better though. We are a looooong way off it.

                        Probably not us.....as we may not/probably won't be there. Wow, I can't believe I just said that. It would be weird, we're just so used to it.

                            That last kick from Parker absolutely sums us up...

                              Can John Longmire coach a positive attacking style?

                              Dour defensive football isnt going to win any premierships in the near future.

                                People are seriously delusional if they think the umpires were the difference tonight. 34 scoring shots to 16. They beat us all over the ground.
