Swans disposal is terrible

Both teams’ disposal is awful… at least the Doggies are marking the thing.

    Anyone else more and more impressed with Nathan Jones' special commentary every game he commentates. Quality analysis with no ego or head-wobble, nothing more nothing less.

    Dogs kicking themselves into trouble... they need to take advantage.

    I still don't get the issue with Weightman.

    Ugle-Hagan has shown some real mongrel, I like it.

    Bailey Smith really does get under the ball when kicking long.

    Blimey the dogs get an easy run from the umpires. ,, Sound off just makes it so obvious because it’s against my opinion of the play

    It's a deliberate tactic.  By moving that far away, they are not subject to the "Stand" rule.

    Of course, it allows their opponent a clear 5 -  10 metre run forward.

    The Dogs coaching team must think it is worth it.  I'm not so convinced.

    Swans are lazy. Their half backs and wings don't like the gut running to create options half forward.

    Swans v Dogs is a horrible game of footy. Kick to kick from one backline to the next, no real highlights, horrendous field kicking and goal kicking, Dogs getting free kicks just for being on the ground.

    John Longmire will give his players a serious bake at half time. They have been deplorable. Worst half of football I've seen from the Swans in a long time.

    So if you move back a meter or two then it Must be worth it

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
