[Bjchan13]

One of the most punchable heads ive seen in a while

 

[Beerfish]

Durham 4 disposals…

Merrett 8..

 

[Yoda_]

really lethargic game so far.

we like low pressure games

Papley isn't playing?

 

[Mootsy]

players have forgotten how to take a mark

 

[sameolds33]

We're already looking gassed.

Campbell

 

[TheGrizz]

34 inside 50s to 17 looks good, but we are getting so many repeat 50s that Sydney are camped in our forward half.

Almost impossible to find a free target inside 50 at the moment.

 

[Beerfish]

Well that was a fun half. I'm off to bed.

 

[boncer34]

They lay a tackle and 4 of them come over and rub it in.. One of our boys gets knocked over late and we just let the Swan off



Nice doesn't begin to cut it. Soft and weak more like it

Log off for your own sake.

Need shallower entries

 

[justlookingaround]

Just tuned in - how’s Weid been?

 

[Mootsy]

swans apply almost instant defensive pressure, better off going long and placing talls carefully around the ground..

 

[Beerfish]

Need more from Duz and skip in the second half

 

[Beerfish]

Just tuned in - how’s Weid been?

Haven't had any yet.

 

[nipst@r]

Is the roof open? Lot of fumbles.

Kelly needs to go even basic handballs he hits them awkward for team-mates and it bobbles around.

 

[mike14]

More of the same. We've turned up for the fight which is nice, but we lack enough skull in the areas where it matters to make things count.

Swans cannot go into th finals on this sort of form though

 

[bommer16]

Gee Ben’s head

 

[sameolds33]

I've seen this movie before. It doesn't end well.

 

[JayJ20]

Horrible half. Not from an effort, structure or pressure perspective, but you just can't dominate like that for no scoreboard reward. We learned nothing from the last quarter last week.

Sydney can have two good centre clearances and we're already behind. And Sydney will come back.

 

[bombreys]

Just tuned in - how’s Weid been?

Same as always - just looks uninterested and clearly not at the level

 

[Blind Turn]

Not sure what to make of that shit.

 

[fishardansin]

I think I hate Essendon as much as I hate Carlton.

 

[Mootsy]

gosh she's beautiful

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

37 inside 50s for 4 goals is insane
