a gift from Carlton to get Swannies off the mark. really poor tunrover.

Go Swans

Very impressive performance last time out after been challenged in the first half. Now that we've blown the cobwebs off i think you'll see a slicker Dees this weekend. Looking forward to seeing Chaplin run out for the first time this year. Loved her attack on the footy last year. AFLW is a nice diversion from the finals. Will help take my mind off last night's shemozzle. Dees by 35 points

If I was Gus and I’d be filthy with him, old friend or not. Maynard ruined his finals. I know where I’d tell Maynard to go if he called with his apology

If it were that simple then for sure sign a KPF but who can we get. and anyways, our F50 plan is rubbish. Bombs away. What KPF wants to join and try to mark one of the dozens of garryowens hoisted into our f50 every game. We need a new plan because our current one is just not fit for purpose

And for the love of god if we go down on Friday can we go down fighting. Make our opponents win the game. Dont gift it to them. Loosen the hand break and play with some verve. Don’t walk off the G with the same old regrets. Our finals performances last year and last night have been frustrating as hell. All sweat and zero inspiration. come on dees. We’ll cheer you to the rafters. Give it everything you have. No regrets.

Can’t see jvr getting off. The coaches need to cook up something totally different cos bombing it on top of fritsch tmac and Grundy/max will not work. Can someone anyone deliver a pass to our forwards advantage. Our f50 plan is just brain dead.

We miss 2021 spargo badly. Only player who can deliver a pass.

Gotta make a statement on Friday night. Consecutive straight sets exits and we’ll be labelled chokers. Rightly imo. what have you got dees. It’s do or die. Max led the way last night but not enough followed. I’m very disappointed in some senior players. I expect a response.

I can’t remember anyone ever trying to smother with their shoulder. Can you find any footage for me. Would be really interested to see the shoulder smother executed

Since when have the mro ever used common sense? They make it up as they go along.

Sick and sorry

I thought we had timed our run well and were primed. We’ve shot ourselves in the foot big time. Squandered a huge opportunity. Trac was disappointing. Viney was ineffectual. Salem no impact off half back. Lever flapped and cost us a couple of goals. A lot of players need to lift and redeem themselves in the semi

To hell with Maynard. He’s the mro’s problem. We need to find some kind of forward connection otherwise the semi will be another tough slog

I have no problem with this part. But why does he turn his shoulder into Gus’s head? Why couldn’t he have just maintain the smothering action?

Kossie got 2 weeks for leaving the ground and nailing Bailey smith. And to his credit smith got straight back up. How is Maynard’s action any different. And Gus is concussed. Had to get a ban but then again it’s the mro so who the [censored] knows

He must have thought Gus was going to head the ball

MRO is a lottery. Who knows what they’ll decide

I love your passion jaded but you should never wish an acl on a player. It’s the worst injury in sport. Cox is snide and Maynard is a peanut for sure but a players career is short. I just hope Maynard gets the ban he deserves. And I would not mind seeing a stray knee in coxs back

Maynard decided to brace for contact. He didn’t need to do it. Should get 2 but I have no faith in the mro.

Huge effort from the players. Can’t fault their ticker. I’m bitterly disappointed but at least I know the boys will crack in every week. tough road ahead now but let’s see. Hopefully we find our shooting boots and can win the semi. And an away prelim might actually suit us if we win through.

Our bomb it in strategy just has to stop. I believe in this group of coaches but can someone please coach our forwards to lead and our mids to lower the eyes. If we’re still doing this rubbish next year serious questions will have to asked. It’s just unacceptable for a finals team to have such a basic forward 50 plan. I know we have players out but it’s been the same strategy when everyone is fit. I’m sick of it. Same old story. Sort it out ffs.

Gutted. Had the chances to win it but fluffed our lines. Sick to the pit of my stomach.

Right idea rivers. Execution not there. Story of this game unfortunately

It’s not your night when even fritsch shanks it.
