And you seem to be the only one complaining, like you always do I suppose.
"Every" year? 2019 they were 15th, in 2020 they were 16th.
Chance they take I suppose.
But here you are on the main board complaining about it, like you do in lots of threads, funny that.
What are you going to ask for next for Sydney to get over this Vicbias?

Just 45 tackles today. Didn't turn up at all.
Wilted under the pressure.
Lions brought the heat early in the game as did the Hawks in 2014. Similar blowout.

Horse's finals record is strong in SCG/ANZ home games though.
The bigger issue is being pathetic away finals performers. Since their 2012 premiership, Sydney are 2 wins and 10 losses in finals played outside of Sydney. Including finals on neutral venues or against sides not playing on their primary home ground. Many of those losses were embarrassing thumpings.
Learning to perform anywhere when it matters is the main thing to address. It's a mental issue.
4 grand final losses in 11 seasons, 3 of them thrashings. So Sydney make the granny and lose pretty much every third year. It's becoming weirdly routine.
Sydney is a lot like Geelong in some ways
Over perform every year to a huge home ground advantage which puts them higher on the ladder than they deserve
Have poor final records as a result

I’m genuinely shocked at how they wilted.
Gulden was absolutely terrible especially. He got pushed aside in every contest. Lions were intense but when your best players are as weak and soft as Sydney’s were, there is only one outcome.

A broken clock and all.
Had the ingredients this year, fancy recruiting Adam Taylor for this moment then leaving him in the stands

Would have to be a complete sook to report someone unless it’s personal attacks on people. Why have these forums if there’s no banter allowed. Harden up swans

If the GF thing wasn’t already a head**** for them, it is now. They go to water on the occasion.

On topic I guess - he’s taking the piss out of aging gracefully with that forehead/hair combo.

Not quite.
At least modern Swans fans can recall at least one flag, maybe two.
Geelong's pain in losing those 4 flags was exacerbated by the fact we hadn't actually won one since 1963.
In saying that, they really underperformed today, no question.

I wrote them off after the 112 point capitulation to Port. Today just confirmed why.
