Rozee missed several tackles, made several key errors, pulled out of a couple hard ball contests. He was disgusting. 2 nice pretty goals don't change that.
Time to move him forward and if he doesn't cut it then move on. Him as a mid isn't working.
This- how many times have we seen this, Hinks and his gameplan suck, total clearsnce dominance and still couldnt shift the dial. - "The Swans pulled further away in the second term with their ball movement up and running as well as having more potency in the forward half, going into the main break with a 25-point advantage even as the Power dominated the clearances 26-9."
Boak had a poor game because he was tasked with playing as an elite half back flanker (Houston or Farrells role).. which he clearly can't do. He's not a good kick and never has been.
Instead he brought in Burton and moved Burgoyne back to the wing, even though he was BOG at half back last week.
It's just poor coaching to put boak in that position

Losing to Sydney in Sydney is not that surprising but more needs to be said about the disastrous Geelong final where absolutely nobody showed up.How is that possible?

LOL at FiveAA.
Caller: Why didn't they play Zerk-Thatcher?
Campo: He did play.
Caller: They really should've played him.
Timmy G: Zerk-Thatcher? He was out there
Caller: No I don't think he was.
Campo and Timmy G: ...
I'm still not sure if that was intentional performance art or what.

Even my partner who knows absolutely nothing about football commented on how crap our forward movement was compared to Sydney.
Yea the same reason Kent Hinkley wins the coach of the year awards
Even when the ump gifted us the first goal through Burgoyne, the players looked absolutely shell shocked they kicked a goal.
The lights are too bright for us.

I mean he kicked like 2.12 this year forward of the ball so there’s that theory out the window.
There is no excusing Boaks performance, he is a serial loser unfortunately

Try him in some new positions over the next couple years, find something that works or make the tough call. Right now he shouldn't be our captain, he was appalling, and we need to find a way to make him useful. If he goes forward and fails to compete at the level then you move on. I hope that as a half forward though he would be able to impact the game. We need a half forward, we need some X factor down there and he isn't working in the middle, I think it's a no brainer.

I am pretty numb to losing finals nowadays and expect it but I am really disappointed with this one.
The Swans did not exactly come out firing and looked very nervous. We had a great opportunity here but basically gave them their first few goals to get them up and running. Imagine if we started with the same fire and intensity as last week, The doubts for Sydney would have crept in big time......but no, we reverted to the same old Hinkley Port Adelaide...as expected.
Really pissed off because of another wasted season.

Coaching masterclass selecting Dixon and then the old tried and tested bomb it on his head game plan. One that’s worked wonders over the years so let’s persist with it.
Then add Rat to the equation who is a big body but provides nothing.
Who can also forget our lack of any type of positional moves to try to win the game?
When is Groundhog Day going to end?

It wasn't the Swans that ended our season, it was us not wearing the prison bars (5AA caller)
