#AFL Rd19 Bombers v Swans, Docklands, 27 July 2018

Disappointing isn't it. I've been lacking interest since the 2016 GF. This game is rigged.

Yep, I must say I feel the same. The laughable inconsistency of both the umpiring and the commentating just sucks so much pleasure out of the experience.

3 weeks ago we play in one of the games of the year a shoot out against the kangaroos. 3 weeks later coach needs to be sacked. Ease up. Essendon played really well. Who had the younger the side?

Kangas display last week didn’t exactly frank that form.

The Swans seriously need to 'privately' speak to the league about our treatment from the umpires. Momentum halting, energy sapping, mentally exhausting and game changing treatment......but I suspect the Swans believe it would come to nothing or backfire and actually get worse. The smell of Victorian entitlement must reek in the halls of AFL House.

.....and from what I just saw, who comes in for Zac Jones next week? You got to laugh or you'd cry.......

God he has some brain farts in him. Nothing much in the one before the bounce, but he will get a week for the late one. He does some seriously stupid thing - I like him, but in the same breathe also don't feel that I'd be terribly sad to see us flog him off if we got a decent return.

Not likely, Swans just poor and umpiring assisted.

A decent team will deal with the bombers without trouble.... we just aren't a very good team at the moment that's all.

no excuses pathetic display wont tackle wont chase and promising youngsters left on the bench Longmire tries to rely on a handful of older players. been a member since they arrived in Sydney went to games when they couldn't win all year, gave money when we rattled tins to save swans. sadder now than when we lost every game we need a new coach with new ideas

Hmm, not pretty. Completely out-tackled (20-3 the respective inside 50 tackle count - not even the free kick count was that lopsided). Thoroughly outplayed, so very very slow and with such little confidence or flair (until the game was over). Will take a monumental effort to turn this around, but time to give some of the youngsters a spell.

Thank God for AA (and thank God we've already locked him away).

Hannabery and Jack laughing now. Lol

I am glad that Jones is going to cop a suspension. Maybe then someone at the club can lknock some common sense in him. How many brain farts can a player have. Like MCS said I won't be unhappy to see him shipped off if we got something in return. He is the most frustrating player on the list.

[Swannette]

It's a game of increments too. If one player is slightly down on form but offers confident leads; another misjudges the speed of their opponent; someone else misjudges a mark and the crumbers aren't in place....

Dawson showed some promise I thought

I was just letting my dog out....what was Hurley sooking about?

He felt that being lightly brushed on the head was a gross infringement of his civil liberties. Clearly he doesn't think 53kg Pakistani cab drivers have the same civil liberties as he expects.

We won a shootout so why the return to dour negative football. The Kangas also arent that good as is now being shown. Also we did lose to Gold Coast!

Bombers are about twice as fast as us on the outside. As they demonstrated. Kangas are in twelfth place. I'd say that's where Swans should be in the 10-14 zone.

As bad as we have played, do you think our players don't notice how they're being adjudicated during a game and it not affect the way they attack the opposition, their decision making, their overall confidence? 28 - 14 free kick count, 20 - 9 vs North, 20 -8 in the 2016 GF, it's just not right. I wouldn't blame a lot of the players if they were starting to get a bit disillusioned about the chances of reaping just rewards for all of the effort they put in. I put myself in their shoes and imagine it would be mentally exhausting......

It must be stressful with all the corrupt umpiring. Just knowing you will have to be a 4-5 goal better side to gain a win. It must be mentally draining.

Why is Richo so anti Swans? He always has been. His old man played for us FFS.
