GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Sydney

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

Is Ben Brown playing???

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Umpires killing us.

[OhMyDees 1,834]

Anyone else can’t stand the cheering for Sydney by Darcy and Carey?

What’s worse? The umpires, our forwardline or our inability to play without May?

Doing an Amber in the bed when we get out to a 25-30 point lead.

any chance of our fans turning up??

Our supporters barely make any noise. Hasn't all year.

[Dee Viney Intervention 1,937]

For a team that prides itself on its contested ball we are doing a lot of ball watching. Bowey twice has watched a swans player claim a mark that was clearly touched yet no tackle laid. General lack of intensity and poor by hand.

Need some kozzie magic.

[bluey 1,102]

Great idea dropping the Weed, this is a joke.

It's been relentless

Has the Emperor any clothes?

The next half will answer that question

Tackles 26 - 44

Not enough pressure 

[bing181 9,218]

Missing May badly, not just in what he does, but in how the backline sets up. He's the anchor point, around which all the others play. Not helped by Salem being rusty and Thomlinson being reminded that it's a bit of a step up from the VFL.

As for up the other end ... Van Royen can't develop quickly enough. 

[drdrake 3,163]

Our forward line and movement into forward 50m is really bad.  

[bluey 1,102]

Better off playing 16 men than the Brown Brothers thus far,

[The heart beats true 18,123]

Midfield not clean. Stepped up the pressure on Jackson and he hasn’t handled it well at all.  Salem looks out of it.

This is really interesting now. We get to see if we are up for the fight.

We are one of the worst pressure teams statistically this year which is a huge concern.

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,775]

Wayne Carey looks like a Sherrin that’s been stuck in a Microwave 

[Ted Lasso 19,509]

Being outworked all over the ground, not sure if the Swans can maintain that sort of effort. geez we are struggling to organise without May back there

 

[Yarra Valley Demon 127]

Bumped into Tmac at half time.  Surgery this week on the ankle, out for the season.

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

Petracca and Oliver well down. All disposals mainly junk.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Nathan Jones to be a slider?

[DemonOX 8,791]

[censored] THE UMPIRES. 

U CAN STICK THE UMPIRE DESCENT RULE UP UR [censored] A HOLE. 

THERE WOULDNT BE UMPIRE DESCENT IF THEY COULD DO THEIR JOB. 

BUNCH OF USELESS FLOGS.

They will. They finish strong. 

[praha 11,240]

The bye really couldn't come soon enough.

So many of the teams we've played thus far have thrown absolutely everything at us. Almost every game has been a grind. We just look so tired.

It's really quite concerning how we look though. Don't think we win tonight. Sydney look just as Freo did.

Seriously I love how every team is suddenly made up of aerial superstars whenever they play us. Sydney hasn't looked this good all year.
