So are the Swans mentally ****ed from the Grand Final humiliation?


Yep theres been injuries especially any defender with Height,


So far we won

Suns on the Gold Coast- pretty good win, kept running looked pretty sharp and they do play us well
flogged the Hawks at home- they are junk
Ran over Richmond - we did have a few out but as did they, they also look junk

The losses fit into 2 broad categories

Floggings
Dees- went from 6 points to 50 in 30 minutes of footy
Cats shat on us all day


and pissed away close lead under pressure
Port- 2
Gws -1

The losses all do seem to come down to collapaing under close pressure or just being outworked and folding, not that there are great losses either, but no sorta back and forth they just beat us, yes two were close but we gave up winning positions,I mean Port we led most of the game


are we just down on form/not that good ? had a bad run

or did the grand final have an impact still being felt?

It's exactly what happened in 2017!

By the time he has 35 maybe he will have enough clout to be a Luke Power or Chad Cornes type who plays one year then goes into coaching the club.

That's a fun memory game thinking back to the Suns and Giants and the initial veteran recruits.

And look how good it did them

Guess what i've lost T and O as well , but JB HIFI $44 keypad to the rescue , how hard is it to get BF on a IPhone ?

If you just ask them for a 'T' and an 'O' they may just throw in a free 'B'.

is said to be the Academy coach, but I have noticed at home games that he addresses the players during the breaks, including the mids. Is he our de facto mids coach?

Can't say I've noticed, but it would make sense.
Plenty of experience and another hand on deck wouldn't hurt.
Although I'd imagine his Academy role would take precedent (eg last week when the Academy played on the Gold Coast v Bris at the same time as our game v GWS).

Mind you multi-tasking seems all the go in the AFL these days.
Our at least according to the new video game AFL 23.

Apparently Scott isn't coaching Essendon, but rather Rhyce Shaw or Jarrad McVeigh;


And Adam Simpson appears to be moonlighting as a goal umpire at West Coast games;

In fairness, I reckon you could goal umpire every West Coast goal and still have time to coach a whole footy side during a match

Maybe he could ask them to kick it to him, that would create more opportunities

M McVeigh was definitely at the GWS game. Maybe Leon Cameron coached in Queensland.

Big positive to come out of the GWS game is I just found out that I won a $100 voucher at the Swans shop.

So I'd never really thought about our song until today. It's not as old as I had thought, we only started singing it in 61.

Our original song was based off Springtime in the Rockies which does not sounds like a club song. Is there anywhere you can hear the original Swans song to the tune of Springtime in the Rockies?

I love the songs. I thought it was common across the globe that when a sports team win they sing a club song. Mainly a tradition we follow

I'm well aware of the tradition, it's still stupid.
