Last July we lost by 186 to the Cats. I think the loss to the Swans was worse.
Vs Cats;
Played at Skilled
Cats on a roll of outstanding free-scoring but accountable footy
Cats were on their way to another flag
We were always going to be belted... it was only the scale that inspired awe
Their list was truly top shelf Johnson, Selwood, Corey, Enright, Mooney, Ottens, Varcoe, Bartel, Scarlett, Kelly, Chapman, Milburn, Ling
Even following the game we were still one game out of the eight
vs Swans
Played at SCG
Swans are only just......I don't expect them to be contenders come finals
Swans missing Goodes and coming off a 2 game losing streak (including a loss to the Tigers)
Best players ; Roberts Thompson, Hannebury, Kennedy, O'keefe and Jack
last time the met we drew
Not a high scoring team at the best of times... disciplined yes but brilliant? not like the Cats.
Now don't get me wrong, 186 was gut wrenching and a low point to my lifetime as a Dees supporter
BUT
I think 101 v Swans was worse..... Sad isn't it
