The Collingwood throws on the O'Reilly wing are too numerous to mention. Never a whistle though.

McCartin 1 touch to half time
Needs a spell
Towers shd have played tonight

Towers doesn't compete in the aerial contest though so we will just get completely out marked with the high balls going in! We are really lacking for decent forward options unfortunately! Need to rely on the youngest player in the league to try and compete...

As David Brent would say....on a more positive note... Alex Johnson is looking ok.

If Sportsbet ever have a bet - free kicks at half time, positive or negative - I will load up my @@@@ing life and children on The Swans being down.

That's a pretty safe bet. BTW we were favourites at $1.70 tonight. We were never going to beat Collingwood tonight. Who on earth was putting their hard earned on us?

[crackedactor]

Yeah but we aren't! Seriously embarrassing if they roll us tonight. We think we have injury troubles! They have way better and more important players missing than us! Huge win for them if they keep this up!

Kennedy is being held at every centre bounce. 16 free kicks to 7, gee is that not a twig surprise!,, Stll playing poorly. Missed tackle, poor handballs, cannot kick anymore.

Disgusting. Kizza just shimmers into trouble instead of giving the ball off. We still don't protect the player with the ball bty shepherding. We bomb into the forward 50. Nobody leads because they know they are going to be ignored. not just predictable absolute crap footy. This bloke coached a premiership? Eff Me! The standard of coaching at the Swans is early '90's standard. It is so bad and we are heading in one direction on the ladder, south or down for those directionally challenged.

This is the worst I have seen the Swans play since the season before Roos decided to go. We were ordinary. We then got a new coach and a new start. But this is not the case now, Longmire has another two years on his contract or is it three. We move the ball so slowly even Ringwood Under 10's would know how to combat it.

We just make far too many dumb decisions that leave team mates up the creek so often without a paddle.... we are at a stage where we need basically a perfect game in front of goals as we just dont generate anywhere near enough chances. And in part that really comes from being too conservative too often.

I don't mind losing if we take the game on a bit - try a bit of what other teams do against us in taking a chance occasionally that the ball can be forced forward. We need to focus more on trying to kick a winning score than we do.

[Swannette]

We certainly don't look at all dangerous bringing the ball in. Prob cause we can't get it there. Sad really.

It's frustrating watching us play. We struggle to move the ball cleanly.

Florent has lost his touch in the last few weeks.

Hayward and McCartin hardly sighted.

I wish we kept Ronke and Papley in the 50 so they can pressure and keep the ball in.

Sinclair being beaten by Grundy but that's no surprise.

We are going to be playing catch up in the second half. Plenty of players that need to lift!

I seriously ask the question - are we a bad side and should someone (maybe a tackling coach) - be sacked? Or is it something more sinister? I am too lazy but the stats over the last 4 weeks would be incriminating.

The AFL needs to do something about the state of umpiring against us. The opposition predictably double our frees. It's so frustrating. Must be horrible for the players too.

I suspect that it doesn't help both confidence and focus.

[stevoswan]

It's depressing watching our team these days.....sure we're not playing well but the litany of unpaid frees we miss and soft frees the opposition gets, the same situations being judged differently depending on the team, the @@@@@ treatment Buddy gets every week.....that's what is most depressing. It seems to be getting worse, if that is possible after the last two seasons. I don't know how the club can 'turn the other cheek' week after week.

[Swannette]

MMM said earlier Rampe has given away 34 free kicks this year and that he needed to tighten up. But then said the one against Mr Giant was not a free. We can't seem to win on that front.

Couldn't believe when I saw the odds on TV in favor of the swans. Something fishy indeed. The entire AFL is smells like the fish market 4 [emoji226][emoji225][emoji476][emoji245] anyways.
