Autopsy Unswanslike performance vs Richmond

We showed in two 15 minute patches we could have and should have beaten Richmond. Which makes the complete lack of effort in the remainder of the game all the more disgusting.
The King!
Chosen One
We need to get guys like Warner and Gulden and also Blakey running and carrying the ball. And papley crumbing forward
I guess Mills Parker and Adams will help.
If we are playing Roberts Warner Lloyd Mitchell all year together than I guess we aren't doing shit

I knew a guy that watched a replay of the 2006 GF the next day. Always knew there was something wrong with the guy; that confirmed it...

2024 Imho our most dangerous looking mid is Heeney and our most dangerous looking forward is Heeney

Papley being in the middle kinda pisses me off. He should be a last resort when we need a spark. Needs to be in the forward line kicking assy goals.

Just get the dolly the sheep people and clone him FFS.
Thought Melican was good all game, as was Heeney. Grundy came back to dominate after half time (becoming a trend).
Richmond looked faster than us and I thought Mitchell and Jordan (did he play?) were exposed for pace.
Not sure we actually went with 3 talls up forward, as McLean seemed to rotate between the bench, the ruck, and defence most of the time with the occasional foray forward.
It was our 'off' game where everyone was off the pace and if the ball bounced then it went into their hands. Maybe that is because they wanted it more?
We will be better from here on, but maybe we'll also have the occasional game like this again.
Oh, and the umpires had very little to do with it. Tigers wanted it more and played better than us.

He also helped out in defence. Worth every $ and then some
This.
Games at the MCG are hard to win for interstate teams. Especially with the affirmation.
Buckle it. Learn from it and grow from it.

Certain Swans players did no play. But mostly I think the umpires played a huge part in today's result. It was very difficult to get a free against them. If the free kick that was given to them in the mid last quarter for in the back had been given the other way, incorrect disposal, s it should have been , we would have kicked a goal. The other thing was that every time we went forward they would pick out a free. Much like the 2016 GF really. AFL want Richmond in the mix. Not US

We’ve had way too many time to learn. How about we start applying these learnings. It did resemble a panicky grand final in some moments during the game

IMO we're inviting midfield pressure from the very first bounce each week with the tone we set.
Our starting centre bounce combination in every game so far has been Papley, Heeney and Warner.
What that says to me if I'm an opposition mid is that the Swans are gonna try and beat us with speed. That's just firing me up to beat the Swans with hardness.

We need to sort the forward line out because it isn't efficient. It's almost like playing the 3 talls is throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks
How often does he hit each post one after the other though?

I also wonder how much the Wicks Factor effected our team?

I think Reid got a injury today and if you are bringing him for anyone I think Amartey

Whilst I agree the bigger issue is how on earth was there only a kick in it ? Play better, take the umps
Out of the game
