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

[SSwans2011]

Not to be that annoying opposition supporter that bobs up after a close loss, but as bad as our midfield is at the moment, your midfield was unbelievable today.

Even when we were as bad as we are now a few seasons ago, I don't remember our midfield being destroyed this bad in the last decade.

Sheezel was incredible and Wardlaw had a seriously impressive first game. In a year where Ashcroft hadn't kicked that goal that he kicked, Curtis' goal would comfortably be goal of the year.

Commiserations, you were the better team (which is probably a backhanded compliment), unfortunately the result was out of the players' hands given the infringement. Mammoth effort from the playing group given the circumstances.

Hope that re-lights the fire in Clarko’s belly.

Hand the keys to Sheez and Wardlaw. Their club now.

• CCJ excellent.
• This game meant something to Jy
• Greenwood excellent
• Bailey everywhere

 

[Mr_Nyah]

0 disposals for both Wardlaw and Phillips in the last quarter. Our young guys just ran out of legs.

 

[tommy_uman]

Does anyone know what happened?

 

[DunderHead]

The final free kick will overshadow the bad calls made all day by the umpires. That was god damn frsutrating. So many of their goals stemmed from free kicks up the ground.

Here’s an idea. If they don’t want more than 75 interchanges don’t penalise a team for going over tell the team they’ve reached 75 so they don’t complete anymore interchanges.

 

[gokangas]

So we lost because of an admin fugg up. New ground for us.

Lots of positives - Sheezel, Wardlaw looks fantastic, plenty of spirit.

But our tackling is still laughable, our forward line shambolic at times - can we have a couple of forwards who actually try and play in front?

 

[George]

Hahaha all good. And forgive my Saints comment, hope you guys can give finals a real shake this year.

All good mate, hope you guys are up there soon too.

 

[Ligma]

Boys played ****ing well I’m so proud of them all

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

The 50m plenalty was overs!

I would imagine it was a free from the interchange (wing boundary) which is a good 90 metres away from the goal square. HTF did it end up being a kick in front of goals?

 

[Pistol Night]

Does anyone know what happened?

76 interchanges. The limit is 75. Ridiculously harsh punishment IMO. Apologies for the intrusion

 

[speedy]

Irony hey…. against the all time interchange cheats. You can’t even make this shit up.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

Just like WWE's sports entertainment, I didn't like the storyline. AFL please hire some better writers

 

[Horizons_00]

0 disposals for both Wardlaw and Phillips in the last quarter. Our young guys just ran out of legs.

I didn’t know this. Unfortunately this was a huge impact

 

[Its a Process]

Most excited I’ve been after a NM game for some time.
George
Harry

Never been more bullish on an NM player since Wells, and we’ve got of them.

Great games
Bailey
CCj
Eddie

Feel ill, don’t get me wrong but so effing excited after seeing that

 

[archereleven]

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

Throw a punch and turn it into a bush fire!

Has any team ever been penalized for an interchange infringement, like ever???

 

[archereleven]

No. It was because me made too many interchanges.

Allegedly.

Sheezel with 25 and 2.2. The kid is just sensational. Wardlaw and Phillips both positives.
Powell even showed up and kicked one in the last. Bailey Scott

was brilliant. We get to bring back LDU, Goater and Thomas into this team eventually. Huge positives to take away from it.

We will get towelled up by the better teams because our transition defence is still diabolical, but I'm glad we fought it out, scored 90 points and lost due a mishap off the field rather than on it.

 

[grimface_87]

Interesting Fox showed the replay and audio leading up to the free kick and there were no interchanges happening at the time...so presumably the 76th interchange happened some time before that. Would have made a difference if it was called earlier when the ball wasnt in the Swans forward line...

 

[Ligma]

Exactly this

 

[Roostorm]

Bad as we all feel, spare a thought for poor old Nostradamus. He has to deal with the loss and Bailey Scott’s performance.

Yeah this so called spud that played a blinder…but yeah week in week out and today it will be the skip Bayless response of ….he fudged this handball or that. Kick. Not actually going . You no what he played his role today. Guess we won’t have long to wait.

 

[Devington]

Has any team ever been penalized for an interchange infringement, like ever???

I believe they said this was the first time a team has been penalized for going over the cap.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Gillon on the walkie talkie all game to the umps.

Game is a farce.

 

[sheridan]

We made too many interchanges.

Why do you think a professional sport means the umpires should just ignore clear rules that every other team has to follow?

We ****ed up and it cost us. It sucks but blaming the umpires is a loser mindset that only befits StKilda flogs.

yep they paid that one but didnt pay the dozen or so HTB that were clearly there for all to see and HTB is a rule too…
you now get a glimpse as to why the frustrations…

Find the bloke in charge of our interchanges and put him on a rocket
