Are we all piling on Hunter's disposal because he got forced wide and had no choice but to dump kick?

Happens a lot. Can't tackle either. He also does a lot of weird underground 1-2 handballs that confuse his teammates.

Why do opposition players have the confidence to take a ping on or just inside 50 but we hesitate and handball poorly or kick to a 50/50

Turner is playing very well. 

The dislike for Hunter on this site is really embarrassing and cringe. He's been consistently good this year and will possibly finish in the top 5 in our best and fairest.

And by the way, he is a way better player than Jordon.

Why didn't Hunter kick for goal?

First time I remember McVee being beaten 1 on 1

Hunter shouldve had a ping. 

How’s that not a free to mcvee?

Baffling and concerning that we’re not making the distance from inside 50 in the past two weeks. 

we know the umps want a sydney game to ref next week obviously 

You’re either a ‘don’t flirt with form’ or a ‘todays match means sfa’ type of person, judging by this thread. 
 

I wonder where the players sit on all of this considering what is at stake.

This at least he is consistent 

Bloody fumbles.

Hickey killing us

Hickey is great, and is a fantastic matchup on Gawn. Glad he's retiring.

We really have been struggling to grab a game and tearing it apart of late. Don’t know why we find it so hard to play all out attacking footy. We just seem to be happy going through the motions.

Need to take the initiative more methinks. Dictate the game.

Can anyone explain to me why we never have a marking option in the goal square when we are kicking from 50? I’ve called it about 20 times this year, but we never do it and every time the ball falls short the oppo gets an easy mark and clearing kick

I don't rate Hunter at all - his disposal kills me. I would rather Jordan in the side and use Langdon as our attacking wing.

His possessions are next to useless, always under pressure & can’t kick over a jam jar 

We will sadly lose Jordon because Hunter for some reason is in front of him

Good tune up for finals. Swans playing hard

Good touch ball

Dunno what Thommo has done... but FFS, back 6 looks so much more stable with him there

Jesus last week people were calling him slow .

We better not have a concussion given afl rigged Thurs night preference for Dees Pies. Would be one day short and pies get 3 more days than us.

Feel like I say this every week but jeeezus the Ch.7 commentary is ordinary!!

Who's the sub?

Too many pings forward intercepted by Swans. 

How many intercept marks is that for the swans defenders
