A lot of passengers today. Bolton the worst game he's ever played for us.
Nankervis was outplayed by Hickey.

Cotchin was down today. Alot of passengers.

Sydney were very very good.

[The Machine]

Smashed all over the ground today by a very good side. The backs looked unsure especially Grimes and Broad. Cant win them all but in saying that, it was a poor performance.

Just an embarrassing performance.

Umpiring was diabolical but that doesn't excuse the non competitive nature of our effort, or more to the point lack of effort

[camboon]

Tells the story, their midfield destroyed ours
Running backs and forwards with more possies  than our midfield, whilst theirs had so many more than anyone else

[Buddysucks]

We have a tough stretch coming up and we could easily be 2-5 after 7 rounds. But, a kick a in the pants now might be just what we need to get us by.

I worry what our back line looks like in 12 months. We need to find some quality replacements for Houli, Astbury and Grines in the not too distant future.

Thought Caddy was one of our better players myself (admittedly I tuned in half way through Q1 and didn't bother watching Q4 at all, what with housework to do etc).

Aarts hardly a footballers AH but twice the kahunas of Rioli.

[WilliamPowell]

Full credit to the Swans, from the start they simply wanted it more

Their kids are also absurdly good. Wick and Warner fmd
