SWANS getting humiliated and destroyed in the GF, how does this happen to a team on the big day?

Posted by Snakey - Sack Dylan Brown on September 24, 2022 at 4:43pm in Sports

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

        It's cos I didn't rub on buddy

    Shambles isn't it....

    Were the Swans favourites?

    • Snakey - Sack Dylan Brown > John Boyle September 24, 2022 at 4:53pm

      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

      • John Boyle > Snakey - Sack Dylan Brown September 24, 2022 at 4:55pm

        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.

  • CarloEEL2 September 24, 2022 at 4:58pm

    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.

"Both can't have a stint. I don't think either need a long term stint. The more they play the better they'll be. I wouldn't say Smith is having 2nd year syndrome as much as that sternum injury would have limited him a lot."

I'm seriously thinking about it. Packages arent too bad either at NRL.com. Anybody else, all us one eyed eel fans could meet at a depressing dive bar there and feel right at home
