Anybody watching the AFL GF?

Its 3 quarter time and the swans are getting beat by Geelong, 101-27, FMD, what an embarrassment to the AFL and Swans.

What makes a team play or fail like this on the big day? it would make an interesting study.

This is almost sad to watch.

The point of this blog isnt to put the boot into the poor Swans, its to ask the question, how can a big day go so bad?

Almost better off the Swans didnt make the GF, these type of losses do more bad than good.

We need to hit the ground running next week, be fully ready to go.

We cannot run out flat next week

    • Yeah its sad to watch Mack, scary too seeings we are in a GF next week, the mind starts to wander, i need to get it back on track and only manifest winning.

      • It's cos I didn't rub on buddy 

        🤣🤣

  • Shambles isn't it....

    Were the Swans favourites?

    • no idea mate, but i had the impression they were fairly close, its a tough watch seeing any team beat like this, this is humiliating for all sydneysiders

      • Massively off the pace, everything Geelong are doing sticks and every time the Swans get the ball theres a Geelong player there smothering any time or space they had.

  • Definitely cannot do a 2001 and be too awestruck and like a deer in headlights 

  • Unfortunately I follow the swans in AFL and they were horrendous. First quarter they lost the game.

    Pathetic and disgraceful performance..

  • It's pretty much what would've happened to the Cowboys if they came up against The Riff in Sydney next weekend.  We played pretty shocking and accounted for them . Imagine them down here against Penrith if Penrith were at their best.

"Which is odd if true because VLandys is a pretty open book - he wants a faster game with more tries so he can sell more TV ad time and make the NRL worth even more in broadcast rights. 
We should have been ready for the touch footy. Other teams were."

"Agreed Zip. Time to see what the juniors have got. I think a turnaround for this tram will need some thinking outside the box. Clearly we are not Melbourne who can buy whoever they want to fill a gap, all within the salaries cap of course."

"💯 
Jr probably is more a lock these days. Better to use him there to attract defenders and get an off load. Williams is better on the edges. Teancum Brown and Tuivati makes more impact than any forwards we have. Unleash the new generation. "
