By all means, get mad. But taking the "macro" view...this team has a lot to look forward to. Most young teams, in all sports, have to lose and sometimes be embarrassed, before they win the whole thing. Let me ask you this, on paper...besides Geelong...who looks better than the Swans in 2023? And I don't believe the trade period is going to alter that...Comment

Has anyone who has been critical said they wont be supporting the team next year?
Loyalty is being willing to stand up and speak up when you need. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. The standard today was unacceptable and must be called out.
Changes need to be made otherwise what we just saw was acceptable it wasnt!
Losing is fine, playing like that isnt.Comment

I see that McInerney was also injured today. If that is the result of a pre-existing injury, we were a done dinner before the game even started as a result of our own selections.

Well with the game on the line in the 3rd we capitulated.
For me that loss will reverberate within the team for a few years. Possibly the worst I’ve seen us play. We couldn’t control the ball or the general play.
I don’t think there has been a team that’s bounced back quickly after such a comprehensive grand final thrashingHe ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

No one would have beaten the Cats today. Disappointed for sure, but if you told me the Swans would make the GF at the start of the year I would have told you that you were dreaming.
Don’t let one @@@@ty game spoil the great season that we had. So much to look forward to with this group. Bright years ahead, mark my words.Comment

Guys, we’re all disappointed and shellshocked, but let’s not take it out on each other. Sure, we are pants today but we have done well up until this game. Can’t put my finger on it but the truth is Cats much better team today- unfortunately it happened in the wrong game for us. I’m sure the boys will learn from this sad experience and become better players for it.
We are all disappointed and the forum is a place for us to vent. It doesn't mean we don't love the club.Comment

Easy to say in hindsight but contested ball and clearances have been a weak point this season. We improved in the second half of the season but cruelly exposed by a side who is so dominant in these areas of the game
Not sure where we go from here, do we ride the improvement from Mills Warner Rowbottom and hopefully get some input from Sheldrick next year or look at boosting it with trading someone in (no idea who is available)Comment

Hell, two years ago I thought it’d only be about now we would be contending for the eight, let alone a flag.
Special kudos to Chad and Fox today. Also thought Paps, Rowie and one or two others fought it out.
Oh, and Geelong’s sub in Parfitt had more possessions and goals than Rohan so there’s that.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

That was one of the best football performances I've ever seen from a team. Geelong have been fantastic in every aspect of the game. It's a shame that it wasn't much of a show for the spectators. And also a shame it was at our expense. Geelong were so much better than us, I couldn't even say if we played poorly. I can only say that Geelong were far, far superior. I just marvel how good they are.
Lots of things to learn and move forwards. It probably does expose some gaps in our midfield. Not sure how we go about fixing it.
Great game by Chad, Fox and Parker. There were players who just did not thrive under pressure but hopefully they learn from this and get better.Comment
