i'd almost watch a grand final rewatch with horse and players explaining wtf they think
Might as well have 3 hours of footage of the coaches box alone just to see their emotions through the game. Their reaction to Reid playing like that would be interesting.
Also footage of selection night - their debate over Reid and the domino effect that came with that.

Oh yes i would love that watch the game with the coaches voiceover in the box.

even if it is i doubt the club would just hand over that to some fan who annoyed them

Yer sometimes football media releases footage but very rarely i just want a insight try and get some perspective.
It seriously makes sense. It's a very small detail, but actually says quite a bit about a person's character and how they're coping with the extra pressure

I really resent this media narrative that our attitude and effort stank. To me it didn't look like a team that was lazy or not trying. It looked like a team that was simply overpowered by a bigger, stronger, harder team, and a few poor pastards who were over-awed.
There was a centre break Geelong got in the second where Rowbottom made a tackling attempt and basically missed the Cats player entirely and slipped over, allowing Atkins a clean kick inside 50 which resulted in a goal. People were saying what a pathetic lazy attempt at a tackle it was. What I saw was a kid busting his absolute gut to sprint from 20m away to try and tackle an opponent that Heeney had lost track of, to the point his legs literally gave out from under him.
You can find plenty more examples like this, where particularly our youngsters had to exert twice as much from themselves just to try and combat the power the Geelong were playing with. It sucked to watch, it was really disappointing, and it showed how far we still have to go to be flag-ready, but it was far from the shitshow that people like Sam Newman are describing it as.
Some of our leaders on the other hand...

It's pretty clear that not only does the club need to review what happened on the field in the Grand Final, but also how things were handled in the period leading up to the game.
This isn't park footy where the biggest thing you might do leading up to a Grand Final is a player's dinner or a GF breakfast, this is professional sport where every aspect is analyzed, managed and prepared - on and off the field.
The players need to be absolutely ready to go out and perform at their best, instead we have a player suggesting they were "overwhelmed" (as I alluded to earlier). The Swans simply can't allow this to happen again.

SCG capacity is 45k. MCG is 100k. From a player perspective they don’t play in front of the huge crowds that Victorian teams get the opportunity to. So may be they are overwhelmed when they do play in front of the huge crowds.It's pretty clear that not only does the club need to review what happened on the field in the Grand Final, but also how things were handled in the period leading up to the game.

This a common problem for non Victorian teams in grand finals at the MCG. It is what it is and it’s not an excuse for why they lost. Just the way things pan out.
Not sure there is an easy solution as to being prepared. Maybe it’s just experience of playing in these big games.
It wouldn't matter if there was another stadium holding 150k its never moving from the MCG in our lifetimes.
I do find it quite a concidence upon the completion of Optus Oval in WA they extended the MCG deal to 2057.
It is what it is.
Ehhh we did alright in 2005 and 2012 even with crowds of 91k plus and that was the first time for most of the players at the MCG GF. Granted there was some fortune both times. Shows what a champion Goodes was on those days. Almost carried us over the line in the 2006 heartbreaker.

guess so many runners up things get made for all the sports events worldwide
It’s not just the grand final but home and away games that draw large crowds. Round 23 this year Pies v Blues was 88k. That’s a great experience for those players but that is limited to Melbourne clubs.
That’s just something Swans players to learn to cope with, without experiencing it.
Can always go back to ANZ?
