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.

"Chiefy, I totally agree with you about our club and Ryles. He is far better for all of us, and more aligned with the club up-top. Club-first. For the Badge. With strategies that are more in keeping with the modern game. The past is the past.

This “kids vs opportunistic recruitment” framing is a good question, but ultimately a false binary. Why not do both?

"Correct also Mitchy. Ryles comments on Simmonson around his performances in the games he featured in last year makes me think he's a lock for a wing spot in Round 1"

"Lurker, from memory and I was eating some grapes at the time, Ryles mentioned Simmonson also due to him being injured for last season (part thereof) hence depth."

"I say he is our first choice back up because the moment one of TDS or Smith is injured, I expect Papalii to be used at some point during the game at hooker off the bench. So one injury down and he will be playing the role."

"Rein was a good third choice hooker. Plenty of experience.
I understand the injury likelihood is low. But compare our hooker depth with other clubs and you will see why I am concerned."
