#AFL Round 17 Swans v Blues Sat 13-Jul at SCG #AFLSwansBlues @sydneyswans
Lost it in the contested possessions. Getting flogged up to half time, had to put an extra in to be competitive. Once that happened, Carlton just sat an extra back in defence and we couldn't score. Back in the day, when our midfield dominated, it was us doing that.
I don't know WHat else to say, maybe a new coaching panel, if they don't want to give someone anyone other than reid and alir (weakens the other positions) . pathetic performance. Needs a lot of changes, Rowbottom didn't do much , even though Lloyd got touches he doesn't do much with them Ronkles lost it I could keep going but we would not have ateam.
Beaten by Carlton at home......after we beat the reigning premiers a few weeks ago.....today is a season low point. Sheese!
Not that surprising a performance from a young team in blustery conditions. Couple of late turnovers were costly. Lack of ruckman hurt us today. Not that stressed. Lower draft pick likely. Even competition. By the way, Heeney gets zero from umps.
Thought we had a lot of passengers today. Our forward line was littered with them in Ronke, Hayward and Jack. Skills were incredibly poor. But its not all doom and gloom, I thought we put in a lot of effort and heart but our execution let us down, just like the start of the year. Will change when Sinclair/Naismith and Buddy is back.
Thought Rampe, Parker, Hewett and McCartin were great.
Newman made us look pretty stupid in:
a) not playing him last year after his breakout 2017
b) letting him go end of 2018
My understanding is that he was a popular team mate and if given opportunity, would've stayed.
