WC against this awful Defence of ours will slaughter us. GWS, don't even get me started. This is it folks. Another off season of embarrassment.

Oh well. There's always the cricket.

They are averaging 83 points a game, yet we've conceded 77 points in 2 quarters against them.

Our defence has gone so far backwards under Goodwin. It was the one strength we developed under Roos and Goody has seemingly come in and torn it up.

We have zero leadership. Zero match winners. We will continue to be a nothing club for a long long time if this doesn’t change. 

There isn’t one player out there who I trust to lift and get us home. Not one.

I felt like a traitor tipping Sydney. Clearly it was just smart. We don’t have the composure to match really good sides who apply immense pressure. The game could’ve been over at 1/4 time if we had more composure.

Trying to channel my inner wiseblood but feel like this game is our pivot. Win and we’re right in the hunt, lose and the pressure gets worse. We’ve been so poor under pressure I can’t see this year ending any different than last year.

they have more disposals, more contested possession, more contested marks, more uncontested marks, more tackles, more clearances, more stoppages.

they are 2 players down.

we haven't played finals in 11 seasons.

Another year, another missed golden opportunity when it presents itself.

It's strategy that is killing us.

Sometimes you do need to win ugly. Not everything has to be coast to coast stuff.

Accurate kicking and progressive advance into the fifty had gotten the Swans where they are.

Exactly, they are picking their way through the zone like playing checkers and we seem helpless to stop it.

I admire your confidence but I think you’re drunk and you should go home ?‍♀️

I reckon Goodwin would have gone ballistic in the huddle.  I'm expecting some fire in this quarter.

Also, the one thing that has annoyed me about our gameplan today is how often Hannebery has gotten so many clearances coming off the square.  I feel like they have two or three extra numbers at every centre bounce and we've done nothing to counteract it.

Cheat.

Deadset cheat. He’s either a cheat or unable to do his job. Either way he has to go.

How do we lodge formal complaints regarding umpires? If I don’t get a forma method to do it, I’m going to have to go rogue and find where he lives...

agree - goodwin’s manic pressure play on at all costs works against crappy teams but good teams pick us apart.  he needs to instil this into the team or next years his last season coaching.

They are +1 because Jones isn’t getting to contests.

Really? I have, at least twenty times this decade alone. Go Dees.

Nah. More disappointed, sure. About the overall direction of the club. But we never really had a good list before. We do now, and we still embarrass ourselves. We have the best ruckman, the best young mid, the highest scoring team in the comp by about 150 points and still can't win an important game. We're paying all these players, and can only really afford one more (Gaff maybe), and what difference will that make? Turn us from 9th to top 4? No way.

I've never been this angry because we're supposed to be better now.

Any one blaming the umpire seriously pay attention to the fact we are mentally weak and don’t put in the hard yards when it’s tough. 

Blame that.

    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

    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.

    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.
