Not the SOLE reason...but considering the timing of the many weird decisions and non-decisions...definately a big influence until it became obvious that the competition was virtually over.....
How do they work out the draw these days??? We played the evil Hawks twice already while the lairy Eagles have not faced them AT ALL!!! We have not played Saint Kilda yet...eagles will play them twice....Not an excuse but a question I have asked myself for years...Liked te old way of each team...
I have absolutely not an ounce of pity for the players...I feel for the many Swans fans who paid big money for tickets and travel fares...for NOTHING!!!!! No effort AT ALL from a good two thirds of the team....To have surged into contention after round 4 ...to win 12 in a row...the minor...
Seriously...they have finally succumbed to an unbelievable list if key injuries...played in a swamp....even lost our best player on the day right when the game was on the line! No big feather in Port cap, playing 50% reserves side...commentators raving like a GF win....sickening and upsetting...
The O'Keefe thing..I do not know what it was????!!!!!....changed everything.....disgusting to fall apart after that....Dockers did not seem to have to even waste much effort after that...pathetic....
SERiously...the backline is severely depleted compared to the side that played the GF.... Shaw...LRT...Johnson...no Mumford to drop back....and of course, still no real full forward, to use an old fashioned term...Reid has been next to useless for near on 2 years now...come on let's face it....
Yes commentators....Lions dominated...you kept saying that over and over ad nauseum about a mob who remained 40 to 60 points behind through their 3 quarter "domination".....if that is domination I will take it every time....
Well, I have been in Pittsburgh for 7 years and I find the current LIVEAFL streaming to be very good...and the best coverage we have had here with ALL games available...way more than my days back in Perth!!!! Not HD but 16.9 wide screen, no commercials, all live and I get no buffering delays. It...
How did boring old Swans beat a team of stars? Indeed?!
Goodes...Hall...O'Laughlin...all Oz C Bolton....not stars also???? That Sydney side had as many so called superstars as that Eagles team. So typical of a Perth writer to ask such a pointless and one sided question....
....And LRT! Need some one who can take a few marks back there....in fact it is simple, we have at least 5 key players out of this side plus the loss of Bolton...
Melbourne were/are not "brilliant". That is an overused word. They had no competition and several huge umpire assists early in the game. Swans were appalling, could not combat the umpiring on an emotional level. No, Melbourne were not "brilliant"....just as the Swans were not particularly good...
Cannot predict with this Swans side. I HATE them today, but, injuries have been cruel this year and you never know when they are gonna come good for a game. it could be against anyone....but I am not really hopeful, LOL....
So...we get back Mumford, maybe McGlynn....all the rest could well be long term. I think Bradshaw may be "Career over"....we have nothing to sustain us now. Sorry so negative, but this is going to be a mere shadow of the line up we had those 1st few weeks. I just see no more real depth...
Our injuries are too extensive now to be a contender this year. Nearly half way through already. Sad and unfair, but I can see it no other way after todays' developments....
