What has happened to the Swans?

Maybe not having Rowbotham, Papley, McInerney, Mills and Rampe might have something to do with it.

JUH, Naughton and Darcy are 3 pretty good key forwards.

It has been said of course but do we beat Blues, Lions and GWS last night with Trac, Gus, Salem, Spargo and Smith playing.

100% you need luck in footy.

Not sure about Carlton but the Swans have been loading and most probably in a loading phase now.

Hannebery talked about it earlier today on SEN.

For those that have doubted the efficacy of loading and the effect it has in season then maybe worth  listen.

For those with a closed mind, then don't bother.

Bottom 6 players are no good. Same as any team with injuries.

Jordon with 6 touches. We really struggle without him

Yes just updated my post.

Apologies if mentioned: we’re currently 12th. Will be thirteenth after next round.

Any good draft picks at 6?

 

Such an impudent performance from the Swans

-33 contested possessions

-20 inside 50s

The dogs midfield will eat us alive next week 

Certainly looking ominous 

It's depressing seeing the Hawks develop another good team. 

Hawks play such an exciting brand that is great to watch.

Sam Mitchell has them primed for the next couple of years.

Hawthorn are playing very good football, their tackling and pressure has been fantastic.

They haven't made finals since 2018

Should put us behind GCS & Coll on percentage before they've even played .

I think at that point we play MJ, trial Verral, and whoever else and ensure we get Pick 6.

Hee hee - I presume that is not a critique of Jordon, rather than the posters who postulate otherwise :)

Not willing to write a season off after '05 when we are still a reasonable chance, but we'll be sitting 11th in an hour, a game and 18% out of the 8 and playing the team sitting above us on Friday. Yikes. 


Nicks coaching career must be hanging by a thread. Insipid

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
