    These umpires are ******* disgusting. You can tell who the AFL want to win this one.

    We are playing a zone which is allowing them to get players free. We need to play one on one. Our forward 50 entries are a disgrace. Just bombing in to free Saints players. Bloody look you idiots. There was one ball that went to Amartey surrounded by 4 Saints players. Three flew against him and one stayed down they got the ground ball. There wasn't even one Swans cumber there. Why? Why kick to a player way outnumbered in the first place. Our players are lazy today. Allowing them far too much room. Our tackling and pressure has been non existent

    So frustrating. We are playing like a bottom side. Little or no pressure, terrible disposal, just bombing the ball to a contest coming out of defence and into the forward line. Our exit from defence has been terrible. On several occasions we had players free but Lloyd went long down the line or into the pocket. fu** me. We are not taking the game on at all. We are fumbling, handball ING to players who are immediately under pressure because we are not protecting the man. We are playing selfish footy. As long as my stats look good fu** everybody else. That's what it looks like.

    There are a few problems. We are allowing Hill, who only managed 6 disposals last week, look like the best player in the AFL. Who the fu** is on him? Who the eff is on their half backs? Wicks has not touched the ball so far. Papley has had very little ball. Heeney wasn't sighted in that quarter. Hayward did not go near it in the last half of that quarter. We have too many players playing cameo roles. Not enough putting in full game effort.

    Our mids are being beaten. The rucks are about even but we are being killed on the second touch. Our first touch is fumbly, unsure and useless which allows them to clean up. Theycare far cleaner than us. We are getting overlap but far too many disposals that don't hit their man or a fumble leading to a secondary possession where the player gets dispossessed. This is nervous footy. It's as though our blokes all have hangovers.

    We need to be far cleaner in the second half. We need to play them one on one. Keep them accountable. We need to use the ball better. We need to tighten up on their half backs and mids. We need to have a far better plan coming out of the backline. Doing the same things every time is so predictable. What we did against sides that fill the corridor was to draw wide and then free up the middle of the ground. We are not even trying that. We need to do it fast.

    If we don't wake up soon we will be beaten today. These guys are not that good. If we don't beat them we are a middling team.

      May be best not to schedule any more games at this time at the SCG - the sun is affecting a lot of players. Start 90 minutes later maybe.

          This umpiring.... laughable.

          Can somebody please explain that last free kick to the Saints that resulted in a goal? McCartin had his arms and head belted when we was in front yet the free and advantage was paid to StKilda.

          Genuinely confused.

            Feel better now?

            If we don't beat them, we are a middling team......today. As I said earlier, we are better than this.

              Pathetically biaised. But why?
              He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                  We recruited Buddy......have you not noticed we have never been the umpires friend since that day.

                  Membrey is their most effective defender at the moment. Make him accountable.

                      Alright I’m out, I can’t stand this umpiring anymore, it’s making my blood boil.

                        Umpires are a-holes. So ready to be soft on the Saints and another goal to them from a free and a fifty. Sickening.

                          We have to stop giving away these 50 metres. Two weeks in a row it's bringing the opposition into the game.

                          All the hard work and we can't put it on the scoreboard. Very frustrating.

                            Good goal Papley.

                            I would like to see Mills and Rowbottom get into it.

                              Do you think we should just walk off and let St Kilda have the game, because obviously that's what the umpires are playing for...and let's not mention the commentators....

                              I don't know- that 'in the back' against Heeney? The last 50 metre, anybody know what that was for? Even the pro St Kilda commentators didn't know...

                              Ridiculous umpires...let's not support those other games in Sydney next weekend...let's just support the Swans and boycott the rest of the AFL....

                                Needed to capitalise on the forward pressure early in this quarter. Still confident but the umpires are making some bewildering decisions which aren’t helping.
