Didn't disgrace ourselves, but didn't really distinguish ourselves either.
A lot of things that could be said, but I'll mention just one ; too many pie floaters. We kick the ball to the right place, but the trajectory is almost parabolic, giving the opposition ample time to come in and spoil the mark.
I think the euphoria of our win last week gave some people around here funny ideas. We were NEVER a chance against the Swans. We were gifted a place in the finals after a very average year. and we played an average and inexperienced team first up. Tonight was the yardstick, and we got an accurate measure of where we're at. I was hoping for another "honourable loss".
In a way, I'm glad this happened, because it gives me greater hope that the blowtorch will be applied to EVERYBODY, players and coaches, because they all stunk it up tonight. Players were crap, and so was Mick's coaching.
Don't let the junk time goals fool you. With their early injuries, Swans were never going to run out the game. They busted their balls to get a winning lead and hoped to play keepings off in the last.
