Going from the limited views we get on the telly, he’s not going super hard off the ball, looks like he’s jogging a lot.

By the way, is it just me, or have there been some funny camera angles and sloppy camera work on the broadcast today?

Much better quarter. Doesn’t matter if it’s a round 23 dead rubber, have some pride in your performance lads!

No wonder one of our sponsors is Pepper Money. We sure love peppering those goals

How in God's name can the club be offering Jack Newnes a 2 year extension.....he is a liability to this team and I cannot work out how he is being gifted games.

If we win we won’t finish in the bottom six and get an easy draw next year. I suspect that is why they are playing the way they are. The problem is that Sydney are not sufficiently competent to take advantage. Our players demeanour appears to be sh1t, how are we still in this - that wasn’t meant to happen.

EFA: 100 point loss.
You seem obsessed with this.
We have often lost by similar amounts to this mob when they had far superior sides - and that goes the same for the other teams we have played previously.

Our third quarters have been appalling all year - let's hope they prove me wrong - I hope so. But body language - with the exclusion of Acres and Bruce who have stood up - isn't filling me with a lot of confidence.
Down by 1. So we’re a third of the way there.
Our third quarters, even in the matches we have won, have been terrible all season this year. Of all the clubs in the league the Swans are the side I really hate losing too. A hangover from all of the hidings we used to get at the old Lake Oval. Where, just like now, the same scenario in games plays out, year in, year out.

I believe Trev the mascot was approached by the Giants, just covering our bases.

Camera work and directing are shocking.

I really hope you’re not Brett Ratten.

Agree but nearly spat my beer when Dunstall said "he appears to be kicking alot of floaters today". Jase, he's kicked floaters his whole career! He should only ever kick those 20 metre passes or handball.

Something to do with the demolition/construction spree that’s happening at the SCG precinct?

When was the last time the Swans weren't ahead of us at half time? 2012?

EFA: When was the last time we were in front of the Swans in the third quarter?

As annoying as their pre-conceived narrative has been - what you've described above pretty much sums us up!

I think our play was looking so bad that they forgot we were only 13 points down!

Legal tackle not necessary for holding the ball!

That’s a goal an $800k player kicks.

I can’t recall any team ever that’s been as s*** as this team at kicking goals.
