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

[Jewelsbon]

Not sure about this analysis.

Lions were just all over us in the third.

If anything they would think they should have won by more.

Amended for accuracy.

I still reckon we paid for sins that were ignored and overlooked and swept under the rug all season long.

 

[The King!]

The trouble with trade week is we don't know what they actually tried to do or not do. Maybe they made 50 calls or asked guys if they would agree to a trade

There was a blueprint for beating us. Brisbane executed on it almost perfectly.

FFS they played well and were coached well , while we were shit in both

All 50 phone calls reportedly went something like this:

“Hello, it’s the Swans here, is {insert player name} there?”

“Honey, it’s that AFL mob that keeps choking in Grand Finals”

“Well, we don’t consider that defines us….”

clunk

beep beep beep

It's not like we did anything to make the blueprint less predictable all year long though. Really disappointing season in the coaches box IMO.

The fact this is the 4th time where we realise we have to go through all the pain, anxiety, ecstasy of the season to try and give ourselves another “shot at redemption” after losing yet another grand final is ****en deflating

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I kept it to myself but i knew we were ****ed when they came back from 7 goals down in 30mins.

We keep getting these teams on unbelievable streaks... that put it in GOAT performances against us.

Just renewed my membership, but cancelled Premiership Club.
The guy from membership told me if I cancelled and then wanted to take it up again at a later date, there would be an additional charge. He couldn't hold back a chuckle when I told him that there was no way I was ever going to put myself through the torture of another Swans grand final performance after the shit they dished up, yet again, last month.
Fair enough was all he had to say....

So what did you go for and how much difference

So what did you go for and how much difference

I kept my red zone membership, which is just 11 games GA admittance and I think cutting PC has cut something like $125 off each membership.

Screw "Sweet Caroline".

Our club song should be Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" - the lyrics to which sum us up perfectly:

 

[Superstar swan]

It felt like all year that we were not as good as the ladder portrayed , the least dominant top side in forever and that proved correct

Interview I heard with our bloke was he said "the focus is on retention"

 

[WillHayward]

To me the real question is how we made the GF in the first place.

16 clubs need to have a good hard look at themselves.
