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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
