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.

"I think people are forgetting or are unaware that this year Brown's first year of playing against grown men. He only played one game of nsw cup last year in which he got injured in. Was his first NRL pre-season too. Give him sometime he is only 22."

"Unsure what his playing weight was last year but it's clear he has had some serious body recomp in the off season. Just looks more solid. Similar to TDS, he looks to have put on so much more mass especially in the quads. Let's hope Pryke can follow…"

"Penisini is sitting 6th on that list, Daz.
Absolutely, JAC was / is massive, in attack & defense - his strength isn't hit ups / metres, but he's irreplaceable, imo. Very smart player.

"Was anyone a bit surprised by Mataele's defense vs Dogs? He definitely crunched a few Dogs. Checked his stats and at 188cm + 108kg, he is the same size as Teacum Brown and a bigger unit than Doorey or Moretti. I think only Tuivati is bigger (191cm,…"
