Autopsy Sydney Legacy in Grand Finals continues 10 goal loss to the Lions

[mcs095]

I'd like the club to issue a statement from the players along the lines of;

We realise we left ourselves, the club and our supporters down on the weekend.
Together we will review the GF and the season as a whole and seek to understand our failings and how we can improve going forward
We cannot let this performances define the club or our legacy as players
We understand actions speak louder than words and we hope and expect to show all our supporters a team they can be proud of in the seasons to come.

Accept responsibility, accept the failure, seek to understand the issues, address those issues, implement change
Not easy to do, particularly publicly, but if they don't I fear history will repeat.

Do I expect it to happen?
NO

Only bit missing (words to this effect) is 'we realise the only way to truly make it up to our supporters is to go one step further and win the Premiership.

We know how hard that is to do of course. But it would remove any doubt about what the ultimate aim really is....

And piss off the crap bring the thunder slogans and all that shit and focus on redemption and embrace that we are targeting a flag

Kept the ball away from us & it worked

I think sometimes a game can be summed up with an image.

In 2022 when we went down to the MCG and beat the then-top of the table Melbourne, our pressure that night was just out of this world. I remember saving this picture I saw from that game. It was just so cool - Petracca, surrounded on all sides by Swans, about to get swarmed on, as he was all night that night.

I saw this image from Saturday and it was quite striking, for one simple reason: WHERE ARE ALL THE SWANS?!

You know both teams in an AFL game have 18 players, right?

Surely our coaches would've played out various scenarios including "what if the zone is not working" and "what if the Lions are not turning it over". Maybe send the message to go man on man, get an extra at the contest, move some magnets around etc

It just seemed like it was zone or bust.

Did we go all zone heavy against them in the H&A game? I can’t recall that being the observation. If not, why change? We played well in that game.

I was at the game and we did zone. We allowed them to move the ball out of their D50 freely but I think their error rate was higher that day. As well, our mids did work harder.

A new bed

A new bed

All the players and coaches should get a new bed, given they all s*at the bed again on GF day.
