Before this thread melts into this and that player, I just wanna say how god damn proud I am of our team.
For coming from 16th to finals. For travelling all over the country due to COVID. For playing some exhilarating footy. For showing we’re on track for a big five years.
For today : for getting that close without two of our best three centre square players. For things like Rowbottom showing the way in the third quarter. For Tom McCartin showing again he’s a total gun. For Heeney being Heeney. And for never, ever giving up.
I’m just proud.
But so disappointed in the moment because we should have won that game today. To have a 15 win regular season and go straight out of the finals like that is so, so disappointing. We had our chances but didn't take them, against what is a very, very ordinary team. People will wank all week about the plastics, but with the quality of list they still have, they are about 40% of the team they should be. They folded after half time, and I'd argue we lost the game, rather then them winning it - and that was after giving them a 5 goal start.
And if that grub scumbag Greene doesn't get a week for that, then we all know the fix is in. As much as I hate Stevic, no player should attempt to intimdate an umpire like that."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I am gutted like everyone else here.
Bell should never play again for us. Terrible miss from right in front.
But besides all the doom and gloom at the moment I am proud of the team. I didn't expect us to make the finals this year and now I can't wait until next year and seen Buddy kick his 1000th goal.
Go Bloods.Comment

Can't agree on soft frees in the last 90 seconds. Clearly a high tackle by Hickey.Comment

I am absolutely gutted we didn't win that, but as others have said couldn't be prouder of the Swans after what they've been through.
And yes, I reckon that loss will burn all summer long. Really looking forward to 2022.Comment

Hogan could have sealed it and we stayed in the game thank goodness"be tough, only when it gets tough"

10000000000000%We lost this at the selection table. Why in the world did we pick Bell and Warner over the team that played so well against GC?
First delisting on Monday should be Bell. What's wrong with the MC to think he's any good?
Chad is not the man for the big occasion. We can always depend of Florent to miss those kicks that really matter.
The other mistake we made was letting go of Aliir.
Why didn't we play Taylor instead of Bell?
The only good part is that we have higher draft picks.Comment

Well if that loss doesn't light a fire under the team, then nothing will surely. We should have won that - such a shame as we deserved a finals win on the great year we've had. So frustrating we couldn't just nail one of those late kicks and win the game. They were absolutely gone and never looked like scoring.
The battle of the snorefest next week between two of the bog most boring teams going in the Geriatrics and the Plastic scum...... rather watch paint dry.Comment

Pretty much spot on. 2 goals 7 behinds is taking your chances and setting fire to them. A bitterly disappointing result given how much of the play we had all game; it wasn’t just the last quarter when we burnt chances. Whilst I’m firmly of the belief our future is a bright one, this game will sting for quite some time.Comment

If anyone asked us at the start of the year if we would play a final this year, we would have taken it on the spot."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment
