Round 2 v Adelaide at the SCG

They turned that around. Adelaide are playing high intensity footy. Going to take a four quarter effort. Dare i say i think we missed Rowbottom a bit.

And also Errol and Campbell

Yes, both Campbell and McDonald are making strong early cases for this week's Rising Star nomination.

Liking Hickey's game as well.

I just wish we could see consistency for free kicks around HTB/incorrect disposal.

The lead up to their 3rd goal - all of about 10 seconds before a Crows player did precisely what the Swans defender got pinged for. Took possession, got tackled and dropped it cold. one called, one wasn't. Both should be seen as HTB. Its so frustrating.

Good game of footy - Adelaide worrying us with good movement by foot of the ball and hard running. We ground our way into it nicely, and started to get some control of the footy. If we get enough consistent control to use it well by foot, we should win comfortably. But if it stays a bit broken up, a bit helter skelter, then Adelaide will challenge us all day long.

Enjoyable to watch though!

Our senior players are hurting us.

Ehh, that last one was over the shoulder. Should have been Rampe’s free.

Commentators just mentioned that Adelaide have got 5 holding the ball decisions to the Swans 0. Says it all I think.

How many goals have Adelaide got from free kicks? Like 3? from 4? This is ridiculous. We either need to review our disposal or something is seriously wrong with the umpires.

Is things don't change, this could be the Josh Kennedy farewell game.

Also, all the holding the balls have been there. Adelaide bringing serious pressure. Our backline are not blocking for each other - just looking to get the footy next

I know I said I wouldn’t say anything about the umpires today, but they are killing us. Fell flat in Heeney’s back then, definitely not HTB.

**Wardy** · 27 March 2021, 01:35 PM

hopefully the “even up” will come our way in the second half.

It was holding the ball. Heeney falling forward with momentum does not equal in the back.

We look better than ever going forward, but so lacking in assurance in the back half. Complete reversal of our traditional way.

The free kicks are almost 2/1 ridiculous. Destroys the game- we are killing them all over the ground. But as soon as Adelaide gets in the 50 metre arc they get a free - awful umpiring, terrible for the game.

**Mel_C** · 27 March 2021, 01:40 PM

Gee you can't touch Sloane. You only have to breathe on him and he gets a free.

The Adelaide tackling especially by their forwards has been great. They have had 4 or 5 shots at goal from it.

Geez this Swans team is aggressive. Direct corridor footy, props to Horse and the coaching staff. So good to watch. Exciting times.
