Autopsy Wheels falling off? 2 point loss to the Saints

[Ehswan]

Im not sure about all the negativity. Absolutely horrible loss..
I thought it was just one of those days. Every decision, bounce of the ball was just off. Definitely self inflicted and credit to saints but we could have easily won by ten goals. Issues from last week and this but we created so many chnces to score. Even with some of these issues with a bounce of the ball or two the other way we could be sitting here unbeaten .
Some of the issues from today eg Gulden ,Warner...on other days are the reason they are so good.
I actually think sometimes lately Warner has been trying too hard for the right( team) decision and it has ended up effecting the flow. Gulden was frustrating early.
Heeney had an almost day. Slipping over alot.
I agree with others he was being held onto all day. I think we lost it rather than saints winning it.
Hate to say it but i thought Reid looked good in the twos.
Hopefully we get some game time into Mills Parker Sheldrick.

I want Horse to go full Rocket Eade & start smashing phones.

The “AFL games are hard to win” monotone won’t cut it this week.

 

[The King!]

Can't believe we were never beaten in the coalface or looked shit in close finishes when Parker played

Yep I trust him less than just about anyone on the list in big moments

 

[Dubai Quacker]

And who the **** was supposed to be playing on Liam Henry?

 

[The King!]

Our coach just doesn't have the ability to steel the side up. When it matters, we go to water.

Big test for him, he is pretty pissed at the presser

Rocket Eade certainly had success yelling at everyone

Horse pointed out the obvious we moved away what got us the lead

For a bit of perspective the 2012 Swans were flogged by both Richmond at the MCG and St Kilda at Marvel, neither of whom played finals that year.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Seriously if we lose the first quarter to North Melbourne next week, I’ll seriously lose my shit

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Can Fogarty teach our blokes how to kick

 

[The King!]

Seriously if we lose the first quarter to North Melbourne next week, I’ll seriously lose my shit

If we win the game by 1 point i don't really give a ****

just win again

Out: McLean, Grundy (rested) Heeney (rested),
In: Hamling, Ladhams, Parker?/ Mills?

Sub: Heeney ? or Someone knocking on the door from the 2s.

Adams back into starting lineup. Ladhams can play against Xerri and giving him a run will be good for him in case we need him as injury cover later on.

Heeney will get a week for his hit on Webster

Yeah, but I used to at least feel a bit better when Rocket when berserk.

He vented on behalf of the fans.

 

[The King!]

Won the inside 50s, won contested, won marks inside 50
less turnovers , more intercepts

27-19 scoring shots

did a lot right

Think what annoys me and is making me stew is that we were lazy ****s and should have won

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Burst football ain’t winning us shit

3.11! in the 2nd half under a roof!

terrible

 

[The King!]

There isn't this magical thing anyone can say and go ohh that's right do that and we win

Apart from Kick straight

Felt like Stkilda played with more freedom?

 

[The King!]

3.11! in the 2nd half under a roof!

terrible

If you win the metrics we won you usually win--- so wasteful and lazy

They had a lot of uncontested possies under 0 pressure - goals out the back

 

[caesar88]

The common denominator in all our losses so far this year is shit pressure.

It is everything

We need a win why rest players?

Mclean out for Hamling who's never kicked an AFL goal?

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Players must have been hungover today. Drunk off their own bath water

 

[The King!]

It is everything

When we did pressure them we scored

Pressure feels like desire and work /effort- so how the **** do you fix that or that just the intangible thing where one side gets down and says **** it let's go for it , and it just becomes psychological ?

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Have we really been good in close games? Sure we won two GFs in close games but over all, I reckon we’ve been poor

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

It is everything

To us it is our whole turnover game depends on it

Well I've always thought even going back to last year, I don't actually think we're an amazing pressure side. I think we're just a good pressure side with James Rowbottom in it. That's the most frustrating thing. We don't even need to bring ridiculous heat to be dominant. We don't have to blow up the pressure ratings. Just don't be completely shite in that area and everything else we have going for us takes care of itself. But that's now three games where we have been completely shite with our pressure. It won't win you many games, no matter who is in your line-up. Too much looking at the bloke next to you to do it instead.
