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

    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

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
