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.

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

Blowout coming. Players have given up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
