Game Day 2024 GF Swans v. Lions - Saturday 28 Sep @ 2:30 @ MCG

[Membling]

I think we need more campaigner like coaching staff.

The gentle man mangement style has made this team mentally weak under pressure

 

[Merdo5555]

Good on Fagan and this lions team.

Spent more than half a decade near the top end of the ladder and finally made it over the last hurdle.

No f*** them they should have had to work for it rather than be handed it on a plate.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Rampe chose today to have his worst game in years.

Ah yes sounds familiar

 

[Kennedy Parker]

No f*** them they should have had to work for it rather than be handed it on a plate.

That’s not their problem that’s ours

 

[The King!]

lizard is soft as

rampe looks cooked today

 

[swanssince2002]

One positive, the crowd turned up. Never had a chance to get the crowd going. Sad stuff.

Yep, I'm very happy to them and those feelings are setting in now that I'm at the stage of acceptance.

That being said, I decided earlier this week I was okay with us, as long as it was a quality game and we had a crack. Didn't even come close.

2nd time we have lost to a team outside of the top 4

Anyone blaming the tall
forwards has no ****en idea

We did the same With Buddy Tippett etc

they haven't been given a chance by the mids

Correct

But it’s also structural. We play too many tall non competitive when the ball hits the ground players.

Football is mostly an on the ground game and we can’t get it when it’s in the forward line to keep it there

 

[l337_Azza]

If this was any other major competition, NFL, NRL, EPL, Horse would have been sacked after '22.
Time for the upper management in the club to be ruthless. Fresh voice/ face is needed.
Who cares that we made another final series.... The aim is to win the premiership.
I'd rather go 10yrs between finals and know we will win a GF than this dross...
So shattered lads....

 

[swanssince2002]

Lions last year was the definition of brave - that was a competitive loss.

I cant bear to watch another GF under Horse again tbh.

 

[caesar88]

Mr Junk Time Warner has stayed true to form

 

[smeggaz]

Brissy have a number of players to come back in

And I don't see where our improvements come from outside of internally, and you could argue that we batted above expectations this year.

It’s telling that when other teams get 5-8 opponents in the grand final, Melbourne and Richmond . They won those matchups by 74 and 89 points respectively.

 

[Merdo5555]

Frick Id take Clarko at this point LMAO. At least he can win GFs.

Agreed, he is probably not perfect for the modern game but we know the team will be tough.

 

[The King!]

now his fan boys will tell us about the brilliant 2 goal game

junk time no where to be seen when it mattered

mids are not even there today we have been smashed to pieces by the same thing in the 3 smackings we have have had in gfs The exact same thing…

 

[Banyo Bloods]

At least we get to play Brisbane twice next year in the season.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

There’s always next year.

 

[Membling]

So who stood up in this shit show?

Thinking Melican can stand up.

 

[Jack2Jack]

Thing is virtually this is our absolute best team, with many playing as well as they ever will this year? We won't have the cap to bring anyone in, so where you go?
Our defence was all at sea when it mattered, can't see anything changing until we build a much better one...how we do that? Not possible in one season, window could very well be closed by 2026.

 

[Voula]

Crowd 100,013. Too bad those of us here couldn't enjoy.

 

[Merdo5555]

That’s not their problem that’s ours

Dont care.

 

[Teaser_]

Horse - average losing margin in grannies
55 points

 

[Mister B]

Maybe we can do a Heeney after the tribunal type apology video. Why not give the league another reason to laugh at us.
