    Chamberlain and his @@@@ing maggot friends can @@@@ off with their version of HTB - must have been 6,7,8 times in that first half where gold coast players got done absolutely yet none of them paid. That last one was ridiculous.

      That includes the umpires. That's no excuse for our efforts though.

        Yeah but he is "clever" to quote Bruce.

        HTB is the most mystifying free to me now.

          Just double checking - because George Hewett failed the concussion test he misses next week under the concussion protocol?

            Not mystifying, just @@@@@@. The umpires have no @@@@ing idea what the rule is and it shows.

              As much as I want to rip into the umpires and Longmire, our skills are 100% to blame.

                A 15th placed side is making us look rank. Hopefully North won't win 4 games and we can avoid the wooden spoon.

                  If I was Horse I'd go with this:

                  Heeney and Blakey hold positions close to goal (Blakey can't run).

                  Papley, Hayward, Gulden get up the ground a bit. We aren't delivering well but maybe they can turn a ball on the ground into something.

                  Good work by Warner to step up on Miller.

                    They aren't mutually exclusive conditions :P Our skills have been deplorable, but doesn't mean I can't go on hating the yellow maggots either

                    Over-reaction of the year right there mate. We are having a shocker today no doubt, but we are Norf lol.

                        Much of that quarter was hard to watch. Missing too many targets and the Suns seem to be running harder, both to shut down our players and to get into space.

                          And it's the more experienced players who are letting the side down. Doesn't appear to be any talking, shepherding or running to space to create opportunities. Not playing as a team which is so noticeable. Tackles not sticking. What else can go wrong!!!!

                              ABC radio seems to mostly think Swans are very much in this, as Suns have to continue to play very well, but Swans have a lot of room for improvement.
