Of course we aren't unbeatable...not sure anyone thought we were. We lost two games by 5 points and 1 point. I was just waiting for over the top sky is falling reactions to a loss.

Yep they were good and we were nowhere near our best (and copped some bad umpiring decisions resulting in goals to them), yet lost by a point....

Yep, it was pressure.

We are the best team currently...no question. If we aren't the best in it at the moment then who is? No one knows what's going to happen, we can only judge the right now. Not saying we will definitely win the flag btw but as things stand we are the best. I just hope we keep it up and that's the...

Unusual? No. It is actually the norm when it comes to Swans coverage. Just frustrating.

That's it for me. Over the years every little "advantage" perceived or real we get is always mentioned and highlighted. So yeah I have my back up about it. There always seems to be this "oh they are good but..." attitude. Gets frustrating. So yes I get that having the bye is helpful (as it is...

But why not bring it up as more of a general discussion about all teams. They bring it up in relation to us because they want to downplay what we have done so far this season.

That's my point they pretty much just mention it relation to us

Fine how about when they talk about the whole bye advantage they talk about all teams who get it as a general discussion. If it was Collingwood in our position you really think they would harp on it that much. Would probably hardly come up.

If it is such an advantage maybe the other teams should be higher?

We aren't the only team that gets the advantage though but it seems like the media love talking about us and then barely mention the other teams who have the same advantage.

They still throw a lot and get away with it. Get given an eternity to get rid of it too.

Absolutely ridiculous call

I mean injuries to key positional players all season, if that doesn't happen probably finish higher.

Glad Hickey had a good second half in his last game. He was important in turning things around in the second

Injuries played a huge part. Not the only reason of course but at one stage we were losing players weekly. I don't know I feel like it was just one of those seasons where everything kept going wrong. I'm just glad we made the 8, I know it's crap we lost tonight but I think playing finals is...

Gulden is an absolute star, he will be the best player in the league.

Disappointed of course particularly since I think we should have really won but in terms where we were at during the season I don't know I don't feel as disappointed as I normally would. I think we will be right in it next year. There are good signs.

Umpires at it again ...2 missed frees...obvious ones

We outplayed them for 3 quarters...sure last quarter was bad but we outplayed them most of the game. Not a lucky win imo. If Pies won it would have been more lucky for them considering we outplayed them for most of the match.

[/MEDIA] Exactly, this why I don't believe there is conclusive evidence to say the umpire was wrong and that it's a goal. And this is exactly the umpire's view. So all this hysteria, the umpire copping it from everyone for what exactly? It's not a clear error imo.

The AFL's response to all this and the decision to stand down the umpire has really led to this hysteria. They made this supposed mistake seem worse than any other mistake that has ever been made by any umpire. People say it cost them a finals spot but any bad decision that happens during the...

Yep let's just review every game, Hawks got a good run during their three peat. I think best we review those games too. Gee some of the commentary around this is just absurd.

I still can't get over the fact he was stood down. People make out that he is the first to make a mistake (I still maintain we dont have conclusive evidence that he was wrong btw but anyway). Let's just ignore all the other mistakes during the game, particularly in the 4th.

If that's the case, let's go back and review the 2016 GF.

I agree, I haven't seen anything conclusive enough to overturn the decision

I don't understand why the umpire was stood down, there have been plenty of calls or non calls by field umpires in the last few minutes even seconds of games that have been obviously wrong and cost teams. Don't recall any of them being stood down. Also perhaps the last quarter should be reviewed...

Knew it was coming soonish but still sad, actually shed more tears than I thought I would. 😢 It has been an absolute joy to watch the great man run around in the red and white. Absolute legend. We are all so lucky to have witnessed one of the greats play for our club.

Last week and this week have been the most frustrating games.

You can as a coach make players train and practice goal kicking etc which I am sure they are doing. On the day it is up to the players to execute.
