Autopsy 2022 Grand Final

[jim_shoes]

I'm sorry to keep saying this but I think Hickey
(and I love him) pretty much lost the game (this is just me emotionally talking here without examining the game). He can't jump anymore. We got no clean hitouts in the middle and that disabled our movement out of the middle. We could have recovered from all those goals but we just couldn't get hold of it.

Unfortunately he only have ladhams as the replacement. We got a dud.

That reid selection is starting to piss me off more and more tho. Who do we blame reid or horse. One of them is a fraud, and if im logan im holding a grudge for that

That's why it's so sad. Now he probably won't stick with us and do a Zak Jones.

 

[Tommy221987]

I only just hope dropping McDonald and leaving Reid in, has no ramifications for McDonald deciding what team to play for in the future.

 

[Superstar swan]

Geelong fitness staff cleared Holmes to play and he ruled himself out. He knew he wasn't right .

Unbelievable selflessness and maturity from a 3rd year veteran.

What did our 12 year rookie do .

 

[jim_shoes]

My flight is cancelled. What a ******* day.

Man the airlines piss me off at the best of times, what an ultimate kick in the guts

 

[BloodRet]

Based on champion data ratings, Warner was the best player out of all 46 who took the field. To be the best player in a 80 point GF loss at his young age reeks of a brownlow medal or two. Special player.

 

[Dangas]

Well done to all the swans fans who turned out today in a crowd figure of over 100k. Those first 2 mins were amazing

Bittersweet in the end. The crowd was amazing. Biggest since 1986 I think. Best start to a game I've seen, electric shame 10 minutes later it was gonski.

. So smug with the way he carries himself out there

 

[BloodRet]

On a side note, can't stand Jeremy Cameron. So smug with the way he carries himself out there

That whole Geelong team reckon they're pretty good, and they are sadly

 

[melbournehammer]

Far out Mills is shook

not saying anything nor feeling anything that everyone else is thinking Or feeling.

can take the boy out of gws.

 

[DavyRed]

About as selfish as you can get putting your hand up and not feeling 100%, a complete liability and an insult to the blokes missing out. I'm sure that Reid told Horse that he was 100% otherwise probably wouldn't have played him

With respect, I can guarantee you that there were a lot of players out there who “were not feeling 100%”. The question is whether Reid genuinely believed he was sufficiently fit to play to an appropriate standard. That may or may not have been the case - none of us know for sure.

In addition, the medical staff would have provided their expert opinion to the coaches, the same medical team that many posters have been singing the praises of over this season. What they said and what, if any, risk was identified, is also not known, or whether their advice was acted on by the coaches when selecting Reid.

in short, we don’t know whether Reid was selfish or not, or whether the coaches deliberately took a huge risk or not.

 

[Swan4Life]

Shitfaced and singing karaoke with my old 'South' mate in Cheltenham.

It's all I've got.

 

[elastic]

Not that it effected the game but I thought that HTB against Parker in the first minutes when he dived on it was disgraceful. It had bounced out of the stoppage 2 seconds before the umpire pinged him.

The umpiring was shite all day. The different interpretations of HTB was significant

hey

Did it all himself with 3 kicks at one point

What a beaut

 

[clivus]

I am not surprised at this toweling. Melbourne outplayed us but we managed to scrap a win.
Almost blew it at home against a Collingwood team that doesn’t belong in the top 4.
We just don’t have enough players with big game experience atm.
We have a lot of scrappers who didn’t try hard enough today.
The only top level talent we have are Buddy, Papley, Warner, Paddy, Blakey.
Heeney, Parker, Mills are all scrappers.
Hopefully Mcinierney, Campbell and Stephens develop more next yr.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

G'day Swans, apologies for the intrusion.

I just wanted to say condolences for today. You're a bloody incredible footy club, and being based in Sydney I've always had a soft spot for your boys and try to attend games when I can.

It may not seem like it right now but you've got a heck of a team developing. Particularly young Warner...bloke is a genuine superstar in the making and tries his heart out today. Reckon with 'Horse at the helm you'll be back up there in no time.

All the best

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Just back from the pub. What time does the game start?

The game was called off, they won't be awarding a flag this year. Get rid of your tv, cancel your internet subscription and tune in next season. You may also want to take time away from friends and family until then.

 

[swanssince2002]

Now that I have settled down, I think the recruiters and list managers did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. A graders not exactly requesting a trade to us but traded as best we could. Had to blow it up and start again in the draft. Aging list with names from 2012 retiring.

Got the most out of Clarke, even though Thurlow, Taylor, Menzel etc didn’t work out. Clarke was delisted. The Hickey move was understandable looked like a top 5 player for us last season. Ladhams is still TBD but he played a string of good games until that Port disaster.

 

[melbournehammer]

The umpiring was shite all day. The different interpretations of HTB was significant

don’t know what the tv said but rowbottom clearly kicked the ball before it hit the ground in arguable one of our only two meaningful attacks in the first quarter to also be done for holding the ball.

having said that we also have an issue structurally when coming out of defence to the fat side from our defensive goal square gulden coughed it up similar to Florent last week kicking to a 1 on 3. I think we have got to rush the ball more often in these situations

 

[Kapers]

It's because the ground was too big, if it was smaller we win /s

 

[Nuggetz]

Did Reid look as cooked on tv? I swear he didn't jump at all...I don't know what are our fitness tests but clearly not good enough.

More than cooked. I didn't see him do a single thing other than jog in a straight line. Htf the coaching staff saw him as fit and ready I'll never know.

In my Covid addled state, I’m trying to find a positive.

I succeeded.

We’re not Essendon.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

I think despite the result I'd still rather be our position than Hawthorn's at the moment.
