Rd 3 vs Western Bulldogs @ Marvel - Match Thread

[i'm-uninformed2]

To be fair, most of the frees have been OK. We haven't had enough of the ball to win 24 free kicks. But there have been a handful of dubious inconsistencies in the way the rules have been applied. And a couple of complete bafflements.

With respect, they haven’t. They’ve been utterly inconsistent, but the ones to them haven’t all been there either.

Here we go....get chances and miss.

Cmon Swans this would be the sweetest victory

[Thunder Shaker]

Totally disagree. Ill-disciplined and unnecessary smart ass act by Warner. Hope he gets a roast from the coach.;it cost us.

I agree, that Warner tackle was ill-disciplined. However, the Bulldogs player had held on to the ball for longer than a few Swans players were given to dispose of the ball before the whistle. I got the impression that there was some frustration involved there.

Yep, we are playing badly, Dogs are playing well except for kicking for goal which has kept us in the match. Pointless to go on and on about the free kicks.

Pointless in that it won't change anything yes but seriously, you can't be happy with what your witnessing? And believe if the count was more correct and even, that we wouldn't be ahead instead of looking at a defeat?

Yes we have been outplayed tonight but should we completely forget about a free kick count of 3-1 against ?

Rowbottom taken below the knees no free kick JUH drops the ball no intent to dispose no free kick no consistency

The free kicks are incidental. More important is our difficulty finding targets in the middle of the ground, and for that matter the Dogs' difficulty finding the goals.

Next goal Swans please

Sam trying to keep his spot still think it’s not enough

They are incidental up to a point it is inevitable that inconsistency will impact psychologically on players

[Markwebbos]

That was very very dumb

[stevoswan]

Silly Wicks.

[Mark26]

That was very very dumb

+1

[Mel_C]

Wicks is an idiot...cost us a goal just as we had them under pressure. We can't get the margin under a goal.

[Nico]

Easy selection next week. Wicks gets a week for that. Should get 2 for being dumb.
