Game Day Swans vs. Suns - Rd 18, 2018

[ashep]

man rampe has just been absolutely pantsed today.

i reckon he can't play on key forwards.

If only we had a KPD who's been borderline all Australian for the last 3 years just sitting on his arse at home for no reason

Thoroughly disgraceful. The worst performance since the early '90's. Totally unacceptable. The umpiring has been a disgrace but that did not lose this one. Our players do not play for each other.

Our coaches do not think we need skills drills. The don't think shepherding is viable. They went back to Buddy deep in the forward 50 for a half of footy. That is just sheer stupidity.

Our players are just not good enough. They make crap decisions. They are crap at delivering the ball. But before you deliver the ball you have to actually get the bloody ball.

Killed in contested footy. Killed in clearances. Killed in inside 50's. Every player except Aliir was killed.

#lolnorf or #lolswans?

guess we'll see when we play collingwood in a couple of weeks.

 

[MarkP]

64 points against gold coast.

Yeh and people abuse me for being negative.

Seriously, this shit has been building.

Last week again papered over cracks.

Said a few weeks ago we would struggle to make the 8.

Not sure how you spin this. Sycophants will try.

Then again I am not a premiership winning coah with a supurb win loss record.

I also have not coached a side to lose against the GC seconds

 

[RUNVS]

Crowd is booing and the players deserve to be booed.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Pathetic!

 

[Skeparovic]

Brisbane are better than Gold Coast.

All teams have bad weeks throughout a season. Swans aren't any different.

No defending this[/QUOTE]


The apologists will. So will the club.

 

[SilentHunter_]

I feel insulted. Club should feel insulted. Players should feel insulted. Everyone involved at the club should feel insulted.

Really. I don't recall any other top side this year losing to Carlton, Brisbane or Gold Coast?

 

[The Gong]

Unforgivable effort.

 

[Rhino5]

64 points in perfect conditions at home against arguably the worst team in the comp with key players out....a team that has never previously beaten us.

There’s nothing to say really. A truly dark day for the club.

 

[RUNVS]

I feel insulted. Club should feel insulted. Players should feel insulted. Everyone involved at the club should feel insulted.

Players should feel ashamed, not insulted.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Whatever.

 

[melbournehammer]

What is it?

Umpires, No.
Injuried, No.
Night game, No.
22 crap players, No

Only us and Freo, play old crap footy. Everyone else is opening the spacing and open footy.

Coach, Yes.

we don't have the skills to play open footy. we are a team whose backline cannot hit a target. the midfield can't win the ball. we are picking all these talls in the forward line most of whom can't lock balls in.

 

[Sid Ruckle]

We kicked 64 against a team with 62%. This should have been a percentage booster for a top four side. Instead a loss.

Goodbye season.

This is the type of loss that kills a season or typically a young coach.

He always has trouble with 200 cm players. Not his fault. Should not have had to play on Wright. Reg would normally have been there but played reserves today. Longmire ****ed up even before the first bounce. He ****ed up twofold. Who said Marsh was good enough to play on Young? He isn't and never will be. RAmpe should have played on Young Reg on Wright. Oh, I forgot Reg wasn't there.

Can't change game plan in two weeks, the coaches have lost their minds. We clearly tried to become more 'run and gun ' which gave us the good start. However there's a reason we can't play that way and that is our skill level is shit. Grind out games that's the only way , got way ahead of ourselves. All of this rests with the coaching staff

Pretty good bloke

Yep, strong apology. I was smug, now humbled. Utterly shambolc today.

no top side has lost to any of them still...

More or less spot on.
What’s funny is this board has been calling for us to do this whilst others have said we don’t have the players for it.

Kids are not ready to shoulder the load yet and have inconsistent performances. Too many bottom 6 players in this team (which isn’t surprising since we have lost so many players that at the end of last year would have considered best 22 when fit have been injured / retired).
