Definitely wasted at least one flag, then the wasted years of 2019 and 2020 after reaching a PF. I know there are a lot of caveats, specially for 2019 but still. We'll soon find out what this season will be like.

Would you rather be in finals forever but only win a premiership every 11 years? Or like Brisbane, have a three-peat. Even if that means having to spend 5 or 6 years in the wilderness before being competitive again? It's a hard decision but as many people say, at the end of the season there is only one winner and all others are losers. There are no trophies for finals or PF played.

Well they have two flags against one for us, very close race. We may yet catch them 🤞🏻

The fact remains that it is and always will be to the best interest of the AFL that Sydney remains a competitive club. GWS and GC for the most part are "experimental" clubs.

They are underachievers to be honest. We like to criticise Brisbane and Port for underachieving but the Swans are right up there. With all the help they get from Academy, AFL and so on... 12 years without a premiership. Before that just one in 70 or so years.

I wonder what would happen to the AFL following in NSW if, god forbid, the Swans were bad? 5 or 6 years being at the bottom of the ladder. Probably empty SCG and underwhelming membership numbers. Must be a thing of nightmares for the AFL House.

In 2021 we were using the indigenous Guernsey, but did we use the Narrm name as well?

It just goes to show that the mindset may just be more important than physical attributes. Like Curnow, he was considered a bit undersized for the position. But he must be a real competitor to be where he is considering all the injury issues he's had.

I am just hoping we turn up for KB, need to do it for Gus! 😤

Don't mind the cold but hate the rain.

Don't think Jackson was the answer either. He was supposed to be mainly ruck and midfield asset. Did we even try to lure McKay ? I thought Carlton didn't have enough money for both McKay and Curnow. At least not to pay them both handsomely.

The weather yesterday and today is a reflection of how we are feeling here in Demonland.

Petracca

Can they stop loading their players and try to win a match of footy? Not very useful to have peak condition in September if you finish 7th.

@Demonland 🚨🚨🚨 Demonland is collapsing, these news got us :

We can thank our slow start for Lever's injury. In his desperation to stop a certain goal. Our defensive line is under the pump week in and week out, poor blokes they feel they need to stop any goal for us to have a chance to win. Constant supply inside our 50 will do that. 🥲

I believe some people are saying that the Saints may be offering a similar deal to Weitering? He may need the money because of the scam situation he was involved, hard to pass on a huge offer like that.

Didn't he re-sign with the dogs already?

Unfortunately their current form makes all their speech after the Carlton loss feel like empty shallow words. They say they want us to win one at the G and celebrate with the Dees faithful... Actions speak louder than words.

You just have to consider the easy shot at goal he had, after he was gifted a [censored]. Nowhere near the goal, but he is an elite kick hey!

So the club can't deal with 10 day breaks, 9 day breaks, 5 day breaks. We need the perfect amount of breaks between games? We are really trying to find ways to cope with the performance of the team.

On Oliver, based on all the drama off the field and current form... it's starting to look like not out of the possibility to seek a trade for him. It may be the best for the club and him.

I think that even Kennedy could come out of retirement and do a better job than BBB, that's the sad reality.

All I am going to say is that I can't believe we couldn't get one decent KPF in the last two off seasons. It's been a clear hole in our list even after 2021. Isn't our team attractive enough? Surely we had some cap space to pay a decent 600k or so.

Viney is 29 Petracca 28 Oliver 27 Oliver has never been the most athletic player. Trac and Viney are bulls, but that means they don't really have speed so can get exposed on open field. It would be sad if at their age they are in their decline (I don't believe it),but it also begs the question on the development and training by the coaching staff.
