Not every game goes exactly to script. The Swans are a proud side who still have plenty of talent across the ground. It was never going to be a walk in park. We're Top 4 for a reason. Our second halves are pretty strong normally and we've got plenty of improvement left in us. Absolute madness to suggest we can't win it when we have 2 quarters to go and we're 2 goals down. 2

If we blow it today (which we look certain to do, given how predictably we blow these golden opportunities) we won't find ourselves back in the 4 again this year.

Stats also suggest we’re ahead they kicked 6.1 and found a concerning amount of space. if you're equating having more of the ball to them not tearing us apart you're delusional. That was a complete belting. 1
Red But Mostly Blue 4,632 Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Friends, we can still win this! I'm at the G, and it's almost as gloomy as it is on the forum! Sure, we dished out a fair bit of garbage in that first half, but the Swans have been lucky/took their chances in front of goal. The stats show we're largely doing the business, and will take control if we just capitalise! We'll come out firing! (I'll need it, it's freezing out here!).

Plenty of the game left to be played my friend. It hasn't been pretty so far, I won't argue that for a second, but we're well within striking distance and I've got faith we can get better in the second half. 1
Dee1993 93 Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 We win this and we're guaranteed to play finals
CityDee 738 Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Everything is ok . except for the over use / points kicked .

Need more composure going forward. Lets see if we can make amends in the second half. ?? Fritsch and Hunt to both wings. Tracc through the middle and changing with Jones resting forward. 2 men down. Run them off their pants for the win!
Jock Strap 197 Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Bottom 10 players have horrendous stats. Need a big lift from the fringe. Who will / won’t stand up in an important match? 1

Plenty left in this game, particularly with the Swans 2 rotations down. We can still win, but gfc we need to stop panicking when we have the pill. I havent given up, .................... yet.

Their D against our attack was always a tight contest. Their attack vs our D I felt they had a huge advantage. The only way I saw us winning this was midfield dominance. They have a lot of stars in there too, Parker, JPK, others... This game was always 50-50... Our inaccuracy is the key. 9 scoring shots to 15... we should be 3-4 goals up.

Purple77 1,025 Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Missing those easy shots by Jesse and TMac really, really hurt, and hard to forgive. But yeah, don't see how we can't still win. Early calls here are very dramatic.
