Review Round 1 - Sydney Swans vs Essendon Bombers - Match Discussion Thread

[Superstar swan]

Putrid performance

 

[SM]

No. The lower on the ladder the better.

Surely you'd rather be spending say, Pick 4 on a draft pick rather than a sure thing in a F/S?

 

[RUNVS]

My concerns this year are goodes, shaw, pyke and richards are all done

Not one of them has done anything to make me alleviate my concern

and we made no effort during the NAB Cup to find another key defender.

 

[The King!]

Shocker, Goodes actually was subbed out.

I thought heeney would (wrongly so)

Yep, our defence is shot and blind freddy knew it.

 

[The King!]

Kick it to buddy with 2 on him

Great captaincy jack

 

[Millky95]

Good mark Laidler

 

[RainMachine]

And somewhere the membership division of the swans are commissioning a 'No refunds' placard

 

[SM]

I thought heeney would (wrongly so)

As did I. Thankfully not.

 

[The King!]

Nice kick laidler

 

[SM]

Laidler is a great kick of the footy. If only we didn't need him at both ends.

 

[Millky95]

COME ON BOYS! WE CAN DO IT. Just need to ****ing use the ball 10% better

 

[Mister B]

Quality effort by the back pocket to score one of our few goals.

 

[RUNVS]

Great captaincy jack

Jack has not been a particularly good player since 2012.

 

[The King!]

They have to win the game from this point, even if we still lose

Just show something

 

[cinderella man]

I will clobber the person who will come up with the "it's only round 1", shorter preseason Bullshit excuse. This is ******* disgraceful

Wait for it. It will happen. Give it 2 hrs and you will hear relax it is round 1, the board is full of sook supporters, blah blah ******* blah !!!!!! You know what ??? People that speak that shit are soft and are not supporters they are ******* barrackers.

 

[RainMachine]

And once again Laidler chips in early in the season with a needed goal in a wet putrid effort

 

[Lakeside Swan]

The failure by goodes to actually tackle his man shows once again either he doesn't want to be involved.

If goodes and Reid aren't dropped next week then we are playing for draft picks.

Goodes has always been terrible at those 1%ers. The trouble is that now his offensive acts no longer compensate for that fault.

 

[bedford]

That's it F this, all these years and have to put up with this shit

 

[melbournehammer]

Shouldn't have played. Looked poor in the nab

Like rok last year. We're running on empty at the end of last year. Couldn't chase and couldn't get anything except hard balls because that is the only time they can get near it.

 

[sherb]

And somewhere the membership division of the swans are commissioning a 'No refunds' placard

I haven't renewed yet. Might reconsider.

Just kidding, I'll renew.

But gee, the efforts in the GF and this game have been poor.

 

[SM]

Agree completely.

 

[The King!]

I will clobber the person who will come up with the "it's only round 1", shorter preseason Bullshit excuse. This is ******* disgraceful

Its only round 1 after the worst most pathetic ground final loss ever...

They have shown nothing today to suggest last year hurt

Im with you

Port licking their lips

 

[bedford]

Goodes has always been terrible at those 1%ers. The trouble is that now his offensive acts no longer compensate for that fault.

He is now an easy target for the bandwagoners who have jumped on board

 

[TheDrop]

Our skills are so sloppy, honestly how can one team be so much worse in the wet compared to the dry?
