[Bitter but optimistic 22,233]

In order to respect the award, I've come up with six. No correspondence will be entered into

Langdon. Ran, presented, worked hard. Clangers forgiven.

May. As usual worked hard under pressure. Maybe tried to do too much.

Max. Won the ruck. Some good grabs. Maybe needs to hit wider more often. They swamped us.

 

Tomlison. Had a crack

Brayshaw . Had a crack

Oliver.         Got plenty of it but didn't hurt the oppo enough.

4 TOMLINSON

3 RIVERS

2 PETRACCA

1 OLIVER

[Swooper1987 3,322]

6. Gawn - won his position with ease.  13 hit outs to advantage and half a dozen big marks.

5. Langdon - ran himself ragged

4. Tomlinson - a very good game from start to finish

3. May - at least he looked like he was trying

2. Oliver - many disposals, most of which were rubbish

1. Brayshaw. - that he gets a vote on that performance says a bit about the other 16 who took the field.

 

 

[Deespicable 2,726]

6 - Gawn - Marked strongly. Won the taps, realised he had to even do the clearance work eventually. Rushed his late shot on goal.

5 Langdon - This guy has the most amazing tank. Felt sorry for him with his two last term kicking errors because as with Gawny, he was a standout and normally would have got Brownlow votes.

4 ANB - Our other non-stop worker and he set up quite a few of our goals as well, despite copping a nasty knock to the midriff.

3 Oliver - A bit of hot potato early but eventually got going and realised he was our only real chance of providing midfield run.

2 May - Went forward for five minutes and did more damage than our other key forwards did all game.

1 Joel Smith - Sydney's most dangerous forward kicked how many and who was on him for most of the game. Yes he didn't provide any run, but he provided plenty of pressure. Was it his fault that the coach went for three bigs and Wags around him and just one running player Rivers and one precision small - Salem. Blame the coach, not the player.

Note: Tomlinson was the other player in contention for the one and again looked good when he went back to defence in the second half, but Smith had the tougher assignment.

[dee-tox 4,835]

I don't know! 

6. Langdon (trys his guts out for 100 minutes).

5. Tomlinson (Looked switched on)

4. May (seems to care)

3. Harmes (appeared to be trying).

2. Gawn (But the lack of leadership and structure worries me).

1. Oliver. (8 clearances but kicking atrocious)

[Earl Hood 6,086]

For the first time this season I am passing because I have no idea. In most games no matter the outcome there will be players who stand up in adversity but today? There were contenders of course but really I just think the errors blotted out their good efforts. Max tried all day but could he once tap to our advantage? I will need to watch the replay to understand what he was doing with his dominance. Langdon was the obvious BOG for us but then misses two pot shots and coughs up a kick out that just cancels out all his good work, overall he played well but I can’t give votes for basic errors that cost us 2 missed goals and handed them one. That is almost the difference. Oliver, Tracc and Viney had their moments but were totally outplayed by the Swans unit. Sorry on today’s important must win game I can’t give anybody a vote! First time this season or any season I remember. 
 

oh and as an edited addition I should mention our coaching. What was the game plan? The bombing into the forward line destroyed our forwards so I am not blaming Brown who looked good early and Weid but I can’t give them votes or the smalls who can’t function as crumbers as the ball is just lobbed up for the opposition backs to mark. Why the dumb football?

yeah, maybe. Admittedly, as a defence mechanism I only wanted to pay half attention to the game!

Fair enough. Unfortunately, I was sucked in to watching the train wreck
