Sydney Swans V Western Bulldogs R16, Friday 27/6/25 at SCG at 7:40pm

You can put your house on McNeil 30m out - to miss. That is why he is not up to standard.

From there Swans went on a run of scores to close the gap.

[angelopetraglia]

38-16 tackles. They have been a lot more desperate and had more intensity all game than us.

We need a big lift in intensity to win this game.

[Bornadog]

Both JOD and Lobb should never kick short passes - horrendous turnovers

[Warrnambulldog]

We need Richards and Bont to get involved in the second half. I thought Cooper Hynes did some nice sneaky things in the first half. Good to see

[DOG GOD]

Will mCNeils miss be “the moment”?

[Mantis]

We just invite pressure with the overuse of the handball.

The McNeil miss was critical.. the wind was completely out of their sails if he kicks that one… he just isn’t that guy.

[jeemak]

These stupid ****ing handballs. Again and again.

We need another method against the better sides and the shitter sides that bring the pressure Sydney is bringing. The run and gun helps us win by seventy against St Kilda, but we need to adjust tempo at times.

[kruder]

It very really similar to the Geelong game we struggle to handle the heat when coming out of the back half and continue to gift cheap goals.

Hynes is showing a lot really exiting, just needs to kick it more but very natural indeed.

Commentators call; Sydney are right in this, what we want.
We want our opponents to play well as we beat them.
Learnt that playing penant golf. When an opponent equalled my birdie it was great golf, not intimidating.

[Bornadog]

We are not moving the ball quick enough out of our backline and we just keep turning it over

and this is not the ground to get cute with handballs and short kicks. We have shown if we get it in quick, we have the advantage, but not playing to that advantage. Sydney knows we will stuff up and over use with handball and they are waiting like sharks in the water.

too quick in my opinion, we keep inviting their pressure.

[Bornadog]

too quick in my opinion.

we are stuffing around kicking back and forth across the ground then we kick it to a contest that adavnatges them

I blame the surface.
Only two handballs then a longer kick in a chain please.
We only need to win the second half.

Especially when there are safer and longer/ more lateral options.
