Autopsy Well beaten v swamsn

[Gasometer]

We are coming off from being the worst team in the comp to be 17th by percentage only. We face the top side that wants to bounce back from a loss last week and the emotions of Heeney being done by MRP. It was always a danger game and we equalled them in the first. A couple of early turnovers and the momentum shifted and we then fell apart.
We are a young team and we can expect to be trounced in some of our remaining games but also be competitive in some games.
Like the Titanic, we are turning very slowly.

The Titanic never turned. Had it turned 1800 would have lived and we wouldn’t have Jack drowning or Rose being beautiful

Our last 5 weeks have been about pressure first and foremost, and we didn't give a yelp in that department today.

The difference in intensity for young team is the difference between a close game and being blown off the park.

We need to bring it consistently.

First half of the 3rd our pressure was good but swans punished a few skill errors to maximum effect and we slipped back into our shells.

 

[kool kangas]

As the Swans are 11-4 against us at the SCG since 2000 not including todays results l was hoping for a miracle which never came. The SCG is a bogey ground for us not just in defeats but also by large margins. When we play bad Sydney show how bad we are playing by their scoring..

This is a set and forget moment and we need to move on to next week against the Blues...

I was watching it on a laptop and at times it was hard to tell who was who at the ground. The uniforms looked weirdly similar and the light was awful.

The quicker we can move on from players like McDonald, Tucker, Pink, Teakle, Stephens, Taylor and Shiels the better off we’ll be.

These guys have their moments, but ultimately they're just below average AFL players.

Whilst it was an extremely disappointing performance, we've had a great 5 weeks in which you could've been 3 from 5 possibly 4 from 5 before coming to Sydney.
Sydney are too well-disciplined and played the SCG with so much speed from stoppage that we couldn't cope.
Clarko got the WilPhil selection wrong, shoulda dropped Stephens...Larkey missed some real easy goals for him which might have changed a slight course of the game but Swannies showed us why they are flag favourites.

Oh well no point in dwelling why >insert player(s)< or >insert position< were poor, they know that and make up for a better effort against the Carlton next week akin to the last 5 weeks...that is and should be the expectation till the end of the season and l hope this 79pt loss is just an anomaly rather than regressing back to the pre-bye teams.

Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, GMHBA… heck. Unless we’re at home and tucked in with a hot chocolate under the roof and every single thing goes right for us, we’ve been

Even Hobart is a sad hunting ground for us.

You do realise half the players in the league are below average?

Like the Titanic, through poor leadership and sheer dumbarsery we sank to the bottom along time ago and have stayed there ever since.

Maybe the Queen Mary is a better analogy for today.

 

[Spud11]

None of the boys looked interested or switched on today.

Next stop, Carlton

Cool, is that when they’ll choose to be interested or switched on?

Just wondering if we should be interested or switch on.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Very noticeable that LDU was the only mid capable of competing against their mids.

The others were chopped liver.

Wat about that Suez Canal freighter from a few years back

 

[Harris 10]

So you’re suggesting we don’t need to move past them?

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Don't forget the "heart warming " comeback from Luke Parker....

Did he come back from a life-threatening illness?

I’m trying to get it…

 

[Spud11]

Thing is, if we’re going to give credit for games like last week etc, equally criticism should come on performances like this one today.
We’re not turning any corners with this group if they’re still picking and choosing when to put in effort.

The only acceptable excuse for today would be a gastro outbreak through the team. Because quite frankly what we saw resembled looking into a toilet bowl and seeing precisely that.

I can cop Sydney doing well, it being their home ground etc etc. What I can’t cop is lack of effort and not backing up a performance like last week.

Beyond disappointing. I’d say our worst loss for the year given the last month.

 

[franjon]

Supporters have a right to (and should) be extremely angry with this performance.

Davies-Uniacke tried his guts out, the Swans were just too good, not surprisingly. But there wasn't much in the way of support or resistance once they got their arse into gear. It's all part of the learning experience. I don't want to get too technical, but I still think leaving Phillips out was a mistake. Wasn't going to change the result, but it might have made them earn their possessions a little more where we were being slaughtered.

But that will come with maturity.
You are correct, we are very competitive at Marvel.
But with experience, we will be able to play our style, wherever we play.

 

[koshari]

Not at all, i would throw in the blokes that didnt play today such as biggy, ccj and sleevo. Even ac wont be part of a team in a window but thats literrally years away and thats best case scenario.

But below average isnt a great choice of words.

Hopefully by 2038 we’ve had enough “lessons” to actually put in

In 2001 l went up to Sydney with the club, stayed in the same hotel as the players and also dined with the players and got to get to the inner sanctum and watched this drubbing

This side had Simmo, Stevo, Archer, Sinclair, Grant, Harvey and quite a few other well known players so l have been through worse compared to today.
The other grounds dont hold a bar to the SGC when it comes to being our bogey ground.

Generous.

How about we add Zurhaar and Corr.

 

[Heaps of fun]

So you’re suggesting we don’t need to move past them?

Not all of them. Billy Frampton and Oleg Markov are premiership players. We carry too many unreliable role players though.

 

[Billy Not Really]

This is a tough team to love, typical North fashion to do good one week, and undo it all the next.

This team just cannot turn up on a week to week 4 qtr basis, we have a couple good weeks here and there and ante up a 4 qtr performance that shocker nets a win or nearly does, and anything less than that is way off the mark.

Our best can take it to the best, but our worst is shocking. And everywhere in between we’re just building to that next extreme of the ebb and flow.
