I think their effort has been pretty high, just being beaten by a smarter team, just like Hawthorn played smarter, the wetter it gets the dumber our players are shown to be. 

And s free and goal to the favoured one

Not adapting to conditions...simple really but as it's taken us nearly 3 years in the making to develop the current game plan it's difficult for young players to throw it out the window in the space of one game.

 

The selection panel didn't adapt.

They would have known it was going to be wet and yet they opted to include at least six talls as opposed to the Syndey rich midfield.

You know what GD, if you look at the Swans team, we really shouldn't be getting outclassed. They've got a hell of a lot of no names in that team tbh

They do, but they also have about 6 all Australians in their team. That experience has been telling today.

Viney just got slung 360 yet no free kick.

 

I've never heard of that Towers guy, we always seem to make some spud look good.

Blowout coming. Players have given up.

Just who is on the selection panel? It is The Achilles heel of our developing club right now  

Viney should have received a free kick for a sling tackle.

Wow jetta paid no respect to his opponent.

Send him to Casey.

Can anyone recommend a good place for Tony Shaw to take Josh Kennedy out on a date? #fawning

Not sure that they have given up but just not good enough AND NOT THE RIGHT PLAYERS THERE FOR THE CONDITIONS.

People posting we don't want it enough, are you watching the game?

all I've seen us the players cracking in and putting their body on the line. 

Swans have bigger more experienced players. Invaluable when wet 

That's just not true. This is a horrible unaccountable performance, second to the ball with weak heartless tackling. 

MelbourneFC- making spuds look like triple cooked chips since 2007!

 

 Shyteful.

We could lose by 15 goals here. Plenty of time left.

Haha some spud called Towers is taking the [censored] out of us.

 

This is getting sad now.  To allow 4 goals in 5 minutes in this weather is an embarrassment. 

Blokes content to sit 5 metres off their opponents and it's just plain lazy.

FARK this is turning very ugly very quickly. 

At least Paul Roos will be ecstatic that Sydney had a win.

Nah, they've definitely thrown in the towel.

Why do we struggle so much at the congested ball? Pissy little short handballs to blokes under even more pressure? Swans in the same position cleanly get the ball out to a clear player and off they go....So bloody frustrating.

3 swans free inside forward 50.

[censored] Jade Rawlings off at years end.

Again, bloody farcical selection. A 2 year old could tell that we went in far too tall and we've got sweet FA out of our talls forward of the defensive 50, except for Watts and Gawn.

We r still along way off the top teams it seems.
