    30 to 17 inside 50’s. That’s pretty bad

    Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

        Disgraceful, Sydney. They can’t be bothered tonight. Carlton showed infinitely more ticker the other night, against the Tigers.

            Mick Malthouse must be feeling pretty smug right now. I feel miserable.
            He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

              Our problems are on the ball. Can't win it on the inside or the outside. Losing one on ones in contested situations. It seems like we are constantly 1-2 players short everywhere.

                Every single dog forward is getting free and miles in front of our swans defence

                But worse then that is our midfieldlooking like a local level midfield

                Dominated !!!!

                  Horse it's time to leave. Great coaching, just bomb the ball high in the air and hopes someone marks it. Forward coach Johnson you are also a joke, please leave.

                    Gutting performance for our first outing of the season , against a team we should be at least be competing with . And we are getting flogged all over the park!! So disheartening

                      The Dogs are carving us up all over the field, most effectively when they routinely deliver the ball to someone moving into position in their 50.

                      We are still not working hard enough together and have to kick and hope because there isn't anyone in the vicinity who has anything like a clear run. The Dogs are wearing us all over the ground while we are not tight enough, and they are outpacing us.

                      And to repeat an earlier piece of advice, kick straight you bastards! (Always except Buddy!)

                          Know what you mean Legs.

                          Just horrendous so far. Where are our forward structures - utterly non existent. Look even slower then last season so far, and skills just as bad.

                          Last 6 quarters of competitive footy.... 5 goals....

                            Terrible performance. I think I've clapped 4 or 5 times the whole game. And we started so well with that Heeney mark.

                            Lloyd has had an absolute shocker.

                            Midfield getting beaten yet again. Struggling to get a clearance.

                            I knew Reid was going to miss that shot. He struggles right in front.

                            I'm sitting right next to the swans bench. McVeigh likes to direct and coach from the interchange. He yelled out an instruction to Jones who didn't listen and McVeigh was shaking his head in annoyance. Oh and I found out that Hayward's nickname is Wilbur courtesy of Blakey yelling for him to get off.

                            Edit: There is an issue with the turf in front of the interchange area. A Bulldogs player injured his ankle.

                              You cant play always from behind in defence anymore. Even more so when your defence hasn't got a lot of closing speed.

                                Intoxicating to watch ....if you’re a doggies fan.
                                I’m struggling to expect any change in this one sided game.
                                The Swans look done for the night,.
