Game Day 2023 Round 09 Swans v Freo Saturday 13 May 1:45pm @ SCG

[Superstar swan]

Watch this blowout

 

[caesar88]

Team is broken. If Horse thinks we have intent he is ****ed

 

[Membling]

We got a few to Amarty before his injury

Logan to Amartey was beautiful to watch

 

[MF]

gee we give up momentum quick

Umpiring didn't help there

 

[The King!]

We got a few to Amarty before his injury

yeah even then took a few nice plucks though

just seems like very few where opposition defender had 0 chance

 

[bloodsbigot]

Sheesh momentum swinging bullshit free to fyfe there

 

[swanssince2002]

Yep fake comeback to get our hopes up aye

 

[The King!]

Umpiring didn't help there

yeah been shit all day both ways i guess

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Game. Set. Match. Season.

Thankyou linesman, Thankyou ballboys.

Umps - you can p*ss right off.

 

[The King!]

just pass it to heeny or have a shot

 

[ShireSwan]

So looking at injuries:

Roberts
Rampe - KPD
Amartey - KPF
Paddy - KPD
TMac - KPD
Ladhams - Ruck
Mills - Mid
Logan - KPF

It is more so the decimation of our spine that has really stuffed us.

You can't pretend Logan was doing much when fit. Slight improvement overall, but his time is not yet. Hopefully next year....because if not...muh oh.

 

[The King!]

interesting Mclean and hickey both down there then

 

[lazy77]

We did make a GF last year with very similar players. Would kind of equate to us having talent.

Unless spacejam was real and their talents were zapped this year

Shows the value of Reid, Rampe, Hickey still in form and Buddy not completely shot. Plus the McCartins. The thing is, the club should have planned for this. Reid, Franklin and Hickey were on their last legs, Paddy was one concussion away from retirement and Rampe is well into his 30s. We needed players ready to take their place, but the cupboard is more bare than it's ever been. Our list management has been very poor.

 

[The King!]

if we kick 4 goals and win from here ill leave the board alone for a week

 

[Tedeski]

Oh well.
5 seconds of hope all dashed.

The defence injuries have been shit absolutely

the oddest part to me is the midfield ,(mills today hurt) has basically been all there, and they have let us down the most imo

 

[The King!]

Hows that a free against buddy

this game (afl) is a joke

 

[MF]

If Gould thinks he has enough talent to not worry about fitness he's in for a shock.

 

[RUNVS]

Really poor effort from Warner there. The Fremantle player completely shrugged off his "tackle"

 

[Kapers]

Why are teams so accurate against us, we must be doing something really badly in defensive 50

 

[Membling]

You can't pretend Logan was doing much when fit. Slight improvement overall, but his time is not yet. Hopefully next year....because if not...muh oh.

I mean, averaging 1.9 goals a game this year, so looking at a 40 goal plus year... but yeah

 

[swanssince2002]

The list management this past offseason was... weird.

Brisbane is also an 'interstate' club and they didnt have a problem being aggressive. They got smashed by the Cats as well. No excuses imo, thought we would have pushed all our chips for a contending run.

 

[caesar88]

This is the worst loss I can remember tbh

 

[The King!]

unfortunately I guess we are seeing why Gould found it hard to crack a game


sheather shows a bit

Really Dunkley or someone like Dunkley is exactly what we need right now.
