Yet if you listened to the commentators all the good young players were on the swans side.

There's some epic competition between the two Sydney teams on the horizon.
Half forward line turnovers killed the hawks. The game was lost there.
Few guys look like they're over it. Don't need to name names, but some appear to be cooked or have had enough.
Can't fault the young players, they're young players.
Few positives, the machine just isn't ticking over at the moment.

This. So many long bombs to our forwards who were double or triple teamed. Reminded me of all those games against the cats where we'd also get sliced up going forward.

Let's face it to get within 14 points after the week we've had, where we were clearly flat, had the umpires cost us a good 4-5 goals in the second half, concede a big lead, butcher easy set shots all night and concede some shocking 2 goal turn arounds........ We can play a million miles better and it was still the perfect storm for the Swans to just creep over the line.
We actually should have won by a few goals in the end IMO but it was just one of those nights where it was never going to work.
Will win the next 3 and then if we thump North we are off to the races.

Generally because they were being shepherded off the contest.
Like 2012 GF Sydney didn't win it we LOST it by shit kicking.

Must be hiding the gameplan. But how poor are Sydney when we are beyond putrid and they only won by 14. And with normal set shot kicks we would have snatched it.

Good effort by the hawks poor execution cost us in the end. Would've taken a lot of energy to get back in the game from so far down and sydney dominated the last quarter and ran out the game better. No need for panic at HFC, tracking well and will only continue to improve.

Before we go around potting individual players let's just put it into context. How many of us could realistically put in a great shift at work after learning your best mate has had a return of an aggressive form of cancer.
It wasn't our best performance but thankfully it's not going to be our last. We have many more weeks and many more games to rectify it.

We played poorly but if we're only 14 points off Sydney we are pretty close, got an "easy" 2 months. We have decent signs from players just need to stick it altogether, I strongly believe Shoey will fix alot of our forward issues.

You would think, but if leppa gets sacked , things could be a whole new ball game! They ran the swans off their legs a few weeks back.yeah they are bad but I' haven't seen much stunning from us except west coast either

Was the only way they could go forward.

I also thought that. This is why the side won the last 3 flags, could have meekly folded but didn't. I know a lot of people will be unhappy with that, but after the sht week with all sorts of issues, that was really good.
Again these are just kids and they'll do that. More annoyed at other missed opportunities and poor delivery into the forward line.
Hopefully this tagging mitchell thing doesnt catch on..

Brisbane essendon and gold coast to come in the next month
Sorry to Intrude but in a weird way that was a pretty bloody good result from your blokes i think.
- obviously a tough time off field
- lots of key outs
- probabaly the worst I can remember seeing you guys play in 5 years.
- being absolutely slaughtered by the umpires (from a non biased view it was absolutely blatant & borderline match fixing)
And considering all that you only just got beat by a pretty decent team.
I'm hoping for decent odds now for you guys to win the flag because I still rate you #1

Big turning point when we had the momentum, but we were loose all over tonight, not clean wasted a lot of opps...
Regardless of what happens off field, it's inexcusable to handball to an opponent after you've taken a mark
