Are the Swans done?

[Gavin Excell]

Terrible last month

 

[Kapers]

Yes

 

[Lia]

They're playing like we normally do

 

[Kapers]

They're playing like we normally do

At least you guys win a flag before plummeting

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

If they're not this is a rope a dope trick that Mohammed Ali would be proud of. Last 5 quarters have been awful.

 

[mattwa]

What
Geelong aren't a flag threat
This is about the premiership favourite getting flogged

Bulldogs won last night?

 

[Gavin Excell]

I thought they were tapering, preparing for finals etc
Which they may be

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

At least you guys win a flag before plummeting

It's what has kept us in good stead throughout the last 3 years of horror.

 

[Colonial]

Nah, South will be there about. Will end up top 4 and then anything can happen.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Yes, never rated them can honestly say.

 

[Gavin Excell]

This is crazy

 

[Stretford End]

Would lose in the reserves comp with the way they're playing. Whoever plays them first week in the finals will be licking their lips.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

They will be 1st on the ladder this week despite being in the worst form of the whole comp over 6 weeks. Unreal

 

[lethalselbow]

Stick a fork in them. Garbage.

 

[Since 2001]

Swans are cooked.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

It’s a culture issue. Always has been.

 

[fnerd]

It’s a culture issue. Always has been.

Yep
When you constantly have the AFL fawning over your clubs every need all in the name of $$$ means the club is simply content to make finals every year

 

[Caj]

Yep done

 

[bzparkes]

Probably doing a heavy training load to get ready for the finals and don't care about dropping games, such was their lead on the rest of the comp.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

I thought they were a cinch, earlier in the year, but the second half a season really tells the story. I didn't think they'd potentially lose their top spot, could happen in the next month.

 

[kickazz]

Seriously wtf Sydney.

This sort of game needs extraordinary explanation, like mass food poisoning or some shit

 

[HairyO]

Zero injuries first half of the year. Similar injuries as every other team second half of the year.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Top spot on the ladder up for grabs now.

 

[kaiserchief13]

What is the biggest loss a flag winner has copped in a season? Specifically in the last 2 months of a season?

Probably doing a heavy training load to get ready for the finals and don't care about dropping games, such was their lead on the rest of the comp.

I don’t buy the heavy training load excuse, it has nothing to do with their work rate or fitness. Last week they ran an extra 7km than us and the week before they ran 12km more than Brisbane.

Their midfield are getting flogged around the ball, which isn’t a matter of being overworked in training. -31 clearances, -54 contested possessions and -50 Inside 50s in their past 2.5 games
