Preview Sydney Swans v Port Adelaide Preview Thread Round 13

[RUNVS]

Did you think it was really a surprise? Port had lost their last 5 games and the form we were coming in with..

The Swans have a huge history of dropping games like this. I remember some terrible losses to Richmond and Melbourne over the past few years.

I think lamb must come in for either Bolton or bird in the future. He is better skilled and seems to deserves a go

 

[Danair]

uhm

Port didn't lose last week.

Here we go.

uhm

Beat it flog.

 

[Jack Lord]

Wet game next week too

Whatever you get what i mean.

 

[longhorse]

Armstrong... You are not even NEAFL standard.

And amazingly White has been even worse

Bolton isn't half the player he was last year.

The loss is bad enough but i what i worry more from today is that other teams will see how easily we fold if they reciprocate the right pressure back on us. Have to admit though, as soon as i read showers were expected, you can never be sure of the game.

 

[Danair]

So ****ing embarrassing.

$1.06 vs $8.50 says it all.

Its about respect, there is nothing wrong with having confidence but we are Sydney and we show the opposition respect not arrogance like that because when you don't show respect results like this happen.

 

[Swanee]

Very sad day especially considering what we had to play for! Rok, Bolton and Goodes, and Tippets first game!

 

[SSFC]

Good week to stay away from bigfooty

Disgraceful performance but you have to hand it to Port. Well played

Port deserves credit for the pressure, but what is really disturbing is that as soon as there is a drop of water on the ball we can't seem to take a mark

Well if Swans supporters did not act like such arrogant tools on the main board over the past 2 weeks then maybe things would be better this week.

 

[Swanhotels]

Lets look over the preview thread and see which members were flippant about this game and ban them for a week.

Whatever champ, you think your some sort of hero cus you picked the game being a danger game.we played like absolute ass, nothing to do with Port. Well done you're a legend.

 

[alanlau34]

That was a fail. Credit to Port to do to us what we usually do to teams. We definitely were off our game by a fair chunk. Whether it was the bye, or hubris, or the weather, we didn't turn up.

Thought Tippett did well when the ball got there. Spose that's something.

Mate honestly you are not suggesting the players perform on how Swans supporters post on Bigfooty do you? Its Football Melbourne Beating Essendon, Richmond beating Hawthorn shite happens.

Swans already handed it to port....well no not really Port pressure was good our hit in hope disposal was awful.

 

[longhorse]

Let's hope it's not wet when we play Melbourne, or it could be really embarassing

 

[YorshireSwan]

Beat it flog.

He is absolutely right, we need to suck it up and take it

 

[Swanhotels]

LOL at all the posters thinking that bigfooty posters represent the way the team plays.

 

[Jack Lord]

Agree. Pencil in a swans Geelong GF? It's arrogance like that that makes it difficult for the rest of us.

 

[M F JONES]

I think it's a timely reminder to the whole team, don't play to our structures, move away from our ethic, ect we will get beaten, chill folks and stop singling out individual players,
we were out worked and out played, credit to where credit is due, Port beat us, and beat us at our own game.
Hopefully the reality check we needed, we will re-stock, hate this week and bounce back hard.
