I don't think one can blame Jones for Buddy's 10 goals.
He had no support defensively from the midfield - as per usual when our mids go missing they go TOTALLY missing and he had no help down back either.....
Buddy would have kicked 10 on anyone with such little support.
The second half belting was almost inevitable - the end of a long year for the kids and Sydney had a lot to play for....
Mention should be made that we had a lot of regular 22 guys out too - ACoS/Rowe, Marchbank, Plowman, Cripps and Curnow.
Take Kennedy and Hannebury out of their 22 and let's see how they go?
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Hannebery didn't play, and neither did Papley.

i would like to ask our coaching panel is HOW do the opposition always seem seem to have an open forward line with space to lead and ours is ALWAYS crowded it not only the swans games it is been happening all year ? I think we have to look at our forward coach and defensive game plan.

Plenty on here agree, although apparently there is method to the madness. The shackles are supposedly going to be released, or at least loosened, next season.

Liam had a tough night at the office. He received a bit of a football lesson from one of the great forwards. Unfortunately with Plowman, Marchbank, Silvagni and Rowe all unavailable it was a job he had to do with little assistance and little option for a switch. At the best he'll have learned a few things to work on and be ready for the next contest.
Given he was a bit preoccupied with his opponent he would probably be a bit down in his 1%'s this week
But No! 
15 for the game...the next best was Melican from the Swans with 8...the next best Carlton player was Williamson with 4
At the end of the regular season Jones leads AFL for 1%'s per game with an average of 11.
A minor stat no doubt....but we won something.
Also won most marks stat. Docherty with 199, Howe second with 181.

they piss fart around with the ball for 10 minutes chipping sideways and backwards from half back line then eventually get it to about 80 meters out then bang it in hoping for the best......

Levi Casboult finished 2nd in the league for contested marks - 4 behind dixon from Port, and equal with McGovern from west coast.
Docherty was also 2nd in rebound 50's - 15 behind Hurley.
Liam Jones was also 3rd in TOG% with 96.3% of gametime played. (1st - 97.9 Lynch (GC), 2nd - 97.2 Rance)

I'm not going to blame him because it takes a team to defend and sheer weight of numbers would have made it extremely tough, but for a bloke minding buddy he spent a lot of time nowhere near him.
That being said he joins a long list of defenders that buddy has pulled the pants down of.
