Now THAT was boring
Well normally I would write a match report of the highest (possible) quality so readers can get an idea about how the match went for the Swans but after Saturday Night, I can't bring myself to do so because we basically lost a match we should of won and in doing so lost all hope of finishing 2nd.
Really challenged the 2002 Draw against St Kilda as the most boring Swans match I have seen, but I guess at least this match was played hard and saw mistake after mistake let the Swans down, not a team playing 17 men in front of the ball.
We had enough of the ball to kick a winning score and in the last 10 minutes of the match we rained down inside 50's that went no where near the Top of the square or a player in Red and White for that matter. So as a result we lost a game by 7 points when we should of won (thanks Amon). Clearly the best player on the ground again was Goodes and again Hall went to sleep, thus meaning I believe the captaincy should go to Goodes long term, because he was the only one of the 6 "captains" who tried to lift the team late in the game.
Still after what I went though crowd wise at AAMI Stadium on Saturday Night at least things can't get much worse feral-wise. Bring on the Teenie Boppers that are the Essendon supporter base.
