Tough beat man, and agree on the "best sport" call. :)
Swans were outplayed, yet have better players. We have leaders, but no one who sets the tone to physically impose ourselves when it counts (a la Hodge). For such an experienced side with such talent, disappointing to see them shrivel when they need to show some sac.
Not to take anything at all away from Dogs win, because it's an unqualified one.
I'm not optimistic at all on Swans making it back. This was the year, especially at the end. Competition is too good and too hungry. We'll be like a Scott-coached team: consistently good but falling short too often when it matters.
