    We aren't playing these conditions well and aren't responding to the Sydney pressure at all. We deserve to be touched up tonight
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

      Pathetic performance.

      We're just not a good side this year.

          This is the real make or break game, as Bevo said. Seems it's a break unless this garbage changes and the umpiring is less biased.

            If they're omitting players on form i.e Libba, Bont needs a spell. He has only given frees away. IMO he's keeping his spot based on the fact he MIGHT have a good 15 minutes.

              Pathetic....so many intercept marks against us....we should be 60 pts down at half time.

                Yet again find ourselves behind the 8 ball. To a 3-7 team that has struggled at home this year.
                We usually find a way to pull things back at some stage; but we are still nowhere near playing the type of consistent football that a premiership team should be playing.

                  We are way out of form. Lucky not to be 6 goals down.

                      We have players who look slow in normal games....our whole team look slow tonight....we are playing like a team who should be 3-7....maybe we should be on years performance.

                        This was a bit of a crossroads game for both teams.

                        Sydney's approach so far's been everything you'd have expected in this one too.

                        And we still haven't gotten out of 2nd gear.

                          Sorry but English shouldn't be playing on this wet track. Libba should have his spot. I hope I eat these words.
                          Agree. Thought he would have been a late out. Not the game for him tonight.

                          I'll call it. 2 goals and a 23 point hole. They're on tonight and ferocious for the contest. Lot of our boys look like they're still on holidays. Real disappointing so far.

                            And how many tackles have they broken through? We're lucky to be this close.

                              The ring a ring a rosy across the half back line with poor handballs which eventually goes to a Swans player needs to end. Move the ball forward.

                                English is a great prospect for sure, but not on this type of track, not against this big bodied team and not at his current weight.
                                Our midield is getting killed and Sydney's pressure is like ours was in September last year. Our pressure around the contest is nowhere near where our game style requires it to be.
