Autopsy Loss to Sydney - quite literally no words will adequately sum this up

[ferball]

Just nuked and un-nuked my account in the space of 10 minutes. Still don’t know why I un-nuked it.

You can see whats coming yeah. These young players we have are shit hot.

 

[Ashley B]

This is why when we get a lead we need to continue and increase it. If we were 4 or 5 goals up it wouldn’t have mattered. Hopefully this hurts and the young players learn from the experience.When on top finish them off.

 

[CURVE]

I wonder if we thought the Wardlaw interchange late in the second was a HIA, but the AFL didn't record it as such.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

- Scott, enormous. Broke lines, played spare behind the ball, defensively much better. Really rapt with his game.

Again, can the haters please out themselves as fools? I will admit that he has had some poor games this year, but Bailey was monumental on the wing: impacted the contest, ran super hard, most metres gained, defensive running and play, inside 50s, a goal. Deserves votes.

Rules are rules.

Agree 100%, but if highly technical rules are taking the enjoyment out of the game we have to question the value of these rules. As a neutral observer, this ending to a thriller is really hollow and unfulfilling. It ruined an exciting last 2 minutes.

If I were a Sydney fan I would not really be enjoying the way my team won. I would much rather see a player step up and do something heroic in the last minute to win the game.

Today's ending epitomises how endless technical rule changes over the last two decades have been ruining our great game.

* off you miserable campaigner. Go and dribble your s**t somewhere else.

What is wrong with what I said?

Dare I say it, a proper breakout game. Need him to back that effort up.

Blippi defecated on his friend. Wierd flex.

As an aside, its handy that most of my kids' annoying youtube celebrities seem to be psychopaths, its a great excuse to make them watch something "narrative based".

**** off campaigner. Go and dribble your shit elsewhere. You’re a sad miserable bastard and you add zero to this site.

 

[William Caresser]

Wardlaw and Sheezel showed how effort without the ball builds confidence in teams, makes you competitive and all of a sudden skills improve. 99% of the time a player doesn't have the ball in a game yet Wardlaw gets involved in the game all the time.

Most of our lazy, mid to older players have done bugger all last 3 years in the 99% of the time when they don't have it. And they hog it, don't give it to free players, try to kick low percentage goals when they do have it.

Time to drop and get rid of the selfish mid to older players. A few of them are out of the side and look what happens.

If he did that for 15 games a year he would be AA.

 

[rickety]

Beyond angry at some poxy faux rule ruining a great game of footy. Regardless of the positives, this is Gru style nasty. Anyway, hitting the piss and setting fire to all that’ll burn. campaigners.

Nort Melbourne giving the Hawthorn football club a lesson in tanking. Resting CJ and that other guy to craft a loss in Fremantle.

Clarkson.....

 

[Dirty_11]

The umpires were never letting us win that regardless.

It will be interesting to see what Wardlaw's performance means for Cunnington. I can't see Wardlaw being dropped in the near future and I wouldn't be surprised if we see him at the centre bounce with Sheezel and Phillips at times over the remainder of the season.

 

[kangatragic]

Plenty of positives to take out of todays game so not going to write about that other bullcrap. Maybe that should be put in a separate thread

 

[Frank Thring]

I’ve not seen scenes like this walking out. Spot fires and verbals everywhere

um yes my son and i will put our hands up on a couple of those.

Cunners needs either a mini pre season to see whether he can make a true run at things again - or they and he know that he doesn't have it in him. Time will tell.

 

[Disco Dew]

No negatives from me this week. Focus on the positives. We cracked in and played hard. The young guys really stood up. No ldu no zurhaar no worries.
Wardlaw, super impressive, god he’s good.
Sheezel, what more can be said of this guy? Absolute gun!

, that was a huuuge performance. Well done lad.
CCJ was awesome.

There’s more but my fish and chips are ready to be picked up.

 

[robiecampbellbrown]

It’s actually the rule . Penalty for interchange breach is free kick and 50. The umpires had no option.

It’s a crap rule thoug. Why is it only a warning for A 6,6,6 violation but such a harsh penalty for that?

 

[Roosurgence]

Mate, I know you are upset but you will not find a Swans supporter on bigfooty right now that thinks we deserved that win.

I was commenting about the Sydney ****stick that came into this thread to troll.

No you didn’t deserve to win, but you were in a position to due to blatantly one sided umpiring. Anything to keep the Sydney market interested.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Just hope that Ratts convinced the players that they had won the game and the result wasn't their fault.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Result aside .
You look at the effort & courage of young kids & you can only be proud.
Plenty to work on in the next few weeks.
Must say mr highlights reel P Curtis & stick man Stephenson wree really disappointing.
They should really take a leaf from wardlaw , Phillips & Scott’s game today …
Time to pull your proverbial out u 2 ?!!!
Stern look

 

[Roosurgence]

There's nobody near the interchange when the call was communicated to the umpire.
When was the 76th change made. Why wasn't a free kick paid straight away?
Should there have been more time on the clock after Sydney was paid the free kick?

AFL just waiting for the right time to get their darlings the win.

Seriously if there is a big time delay between when the infringement occurred and when the free kick is paid, the AFL should be hung drawn and quartered for impacting the result.
