    Francis ain't going to last long if he can't kick them from 30 out directly in front. Did so well to mark it too.

              Embarrassing..effort is actually okay but that's it.

              Was always going to be tough with our talls out, but our midfield has been smashed again badly and not given a whimper.

              We ain't doing anything this year at this rate. Be lucky to make the 8 with a tough draw as well.

              Just wanted us to rip in and give it a good go, yet we've been bullied again just like the grand final. Very disheartening.

                True. But it adds to the pain when they’ve got an extra 3 players when each of their legit 18 are beating up ours.

                    THIS.

                    One thing the Swans were always consistent with was their pressure, leading from the midfield. They never gave up. Not sure what has happened to them.

                      It’s a worry. The Bloods was right all along. Need more grunt in there. Our soft belly getting exposed and it’s gonna be a long season.

                        No one forces anyone to read a post they don't want to.

                        If anyone is happy with the state of officiating in the AFL as it stands, they are very easily satisfied. It is deplorably bad week in, week out.

                            Another Dangerfield throw missed right in front of goal.

                              It doesn't help when our go to fixes for other parts of the ground is to rob the midfield of our best midfielder in Mills.

                              We definitely need more grunt in there, but expect the issues will improve as we get games and muscle into some of the younger midfielders.

                              But doesn't make it any less frustrating when we've just at least on the surface not changed anything from the mess last year.

                                He is the perfect example of the rabbit warren the game is in. Doesn't even try most of the time to correctly dispose it. Knows it is so unlikely he will get done.

                                Instead of telling the umpires to focus on the basics of the game and key rules, all we get is stupid rubbish like the stand rule instead.
