    Who was that bloke from the swans who 10yrs ago declared half the comp was doin' coke and got shut down by the AFL.
    Dale Lewis?

    Yes Dale Lewis about 25 years ago or more and was never heard of in the footy world ever again sadly.

    He was right on the money .

    Josh Jenkins has been the first media bloke to actually talk up Fullerton.

    Said he’d be a really good fit for the 85/15 forward- ruck role.

    If Fullerton’s good enough to get a consistent game he’ll allow JVR to focus as a full time forward to partner up with Petty.

    It is becoming apparent we've brought in Fullerton to cover the loss of Jordan.....

    The non advantage call was massive. Timing and position made it even worse. What a bad umpire to call advantage before anyone even knew a free had even been paid. The free was for a clear trip and and not two seconds after the whistle or a second after a lions player kicked it straight up in the air, its play on.

     If there is no clear advantage or you are not sure then just stop. It ain't too hard. How many times this year have we seen pedantic umpires calling back players to kick over the mark. What a panic merchant that umpire was.

     

    Even worse and not spoken about. The  "advantage " free should have been a free too. Disgraceful.

    It was pathetic in the cold light of day, didn’t matter we had injuries we should’ve won both games

    A colossal choke, lost at selection & out coached again 

    Max & May will be in the twilight of their careers next year, Grundy our backup once Max retires will be in Sydney & they treated a retiring warrior in Hibbo withe contempt

    2023 an absolute disaster 

    Agreed, a complete train wreck and waste of a season.

    Despite injury to key players towards the end of season we completely dominated both finals opponents and butchered it.

    I can't see it any other way than a monumental choke and a premiership gone begging.

    They'll get harder to win in the next 2 years before our window is shut for who knows how long

  7. Our window is closing before our eyes. 

    May, Max, Salem, Langdon and Viney as good as they are have likely played their best footy. We need to figure out who takes their spots when they decline which will come very quickly .Grundy anyone lol.

    Teams are going to go past us very quickly unless we get some dare back. We played predictable, safe boring footy a lot this year 

    Need some pace, clean ball use and a complete overhaul on F50 entries.

    24 hours later, and I am still annoyed. 

    However, we lost by 7 points and totally outplayed the Pies in the 2nd half. Are we ever that bad in front of goal 2 weeks in a row? I reckon we can turn it around. I still believe. 

    And I would love us to meet the Pies again in the GF.  

    Yeah even after last night I was thinking we are the team they would least like to meet in a GF. 

    Just feel it's a bit too far from us now. They'll have NDaicos primed and ready to go too

    Zak Butters. Cannot wait to see him run out onto the Gabba on Saturday week. Eyes will be rolling in that controlled way. Old-school sporting killer instinct. Compelling to watch. "

    Has he heard about Christian Petracca?  Look out world!

    Not try to lose. 

    Not maximize the chance of winning (eg having maxy on the bench for longer than we would normally).

    And not having anything to play for (other than pride) might mean we are not as manic as we might otherwise be. 

    That and the Swans have a very big incentive to win - a home final.

    But i think a bit will depend on our final side ie which four from the extended bench come in (i wouldn't be discounting late outs either)

    And if Port and Lions both win i think we will be equal favs or even outright as we stay 4th even if we win in that scenario.

    Weather forecast may have a bit to do with it too.

    I suspect if top 4 were riding on this game we'd be favourites though.

    So sad I cannot even understand or comprehend it.

    The things I worry about with my kids....  puts everything in perspective  

    Thoughts and love to the family

    Agree DD. Just heartbreaking.

    Life is just so damn unfair and cruel at times.

    RIP beautiful boy.

    Agree with all of that, but, and I’m probably wrong, I thought all goals were reviewed before the centre bounce to restart play took place… in which case, how could that not have been picked up? It beggars belief!

    Because it was called a behind, as a result it doesn't get reviewed.

    Gotta love the media. 

    Crows get shafted by goal umpires - uproar.

    Dees get shafted by goal umpires - silence.

    There was plenty of noise about our non goal but last night's is farcical and disgraceful.

    I'm almost at the point where I'm losing interest in our great game due to officiating.

    Credit to Nicks and Adelaide's response which has been first class. They are probably fuming internally.
