Damn, touched on the line

Wtf was Gibbs thinking with that kick?

That goal would have been very handy indeed....

ratten's negative game style is coming home to roost. too many players are flat footed. we have to work too hard for goals, average kicking skills etc very frustrating. Actually don't think the swans are playing that well, but at least they have numbers around the ball and able to create overlaps. Where are our overlaps.

Effort and intensity lifted that last 10 mins. Still very much a class or two below.

Forward structure is non existent. Even when we kick to a tall there is no one at ground level.

Need to get reward for effort and f50 entries otherwise it will be ugly.

We need to go for broke play attacking football. Get yarran forward of centre for starters

We gave them 3 goals from stupidity .

So not bad but jeeeeezus the Swans are sharp in close.

Gee Curnow is much slower than I thought. He's getting shown up a bit. I reckon if we had some sort of a plan we might not be a bad team. I wonder how we can fix that.

Close enough on the scoreboard but the only way we'll have a chance is if Sydney run out of gas

Missing Thornton's CHF role

Would be nice to give the Carazzo tagging Okeefe tactic a rest....maybe we can get our hands on the ball at a stoppage....

Mistake dropping Thornton, his contested marking would be pretty handy right now

I think the effort is there but we are still a few players short. Can't really blame Ratts for this as fun as it may be for some.

I doubt we can win, but it's only 21 points, if we get the first couple after he time you never know what could happen.

Who's our forward coach? He's a turd. Keeps insisting Eddie gets up the ground on the wings. Cas & Waite are creating contests but our smalls are 30 mtrs up the ground. Hard to crumb from there!

I'd like to see Bell given Curnow's role and for Curnow to never be seen again

Hopefully with Mitch back they drop Curnow instead of Bell, something tells me they won't though.

Should be assessing the benefits of his program.

Bell's been on him at a number of stoppages.

Better effort in that last 10 mins or so. Sydney are a great side though and we'll struggle to keep up for 4 quarters with what we have on the park.

Swans just too well drilled...
