SWAN Districts coach Adam Pickering spoke after Sunday's loss to Claremont at Steel Blue Oval and he has plenty of questions he's trying to find answers to as he attempts to keep the black-and-whites' season afloat and search for that elusive third win of 2019.

QUESTION: It's a familiar story. You fight so hard for three quarters and do so much right, but just can't put the score on board. Then the opposition overruns you. I don’t know what it is, but it's a familiar story now?
ANSWER: Yeah it is, it's a disappointing one as well. It's getting old too, it really is. We came up against a pretty experienced and well-drilled outfit. Their midfield bats pretty deep with four or five really good senior WAFL players that go through there all day, and they just out-ground us in the end. Even at half-time, I came in saying that it was a great first half from the boys against a really good outfit so we'd done well to be in front and playing the way we want to play. We kept them to three goals and two of those three goals were probably from our mistakes or lack of concentration. So we could have easily had a better lead at half-time so there are some positives. But then as the game wears on which is the familiar story, we either run out of gas or the more mature bodies against us seem to catch up and our nine or 10 young guys with under 15 games of experience just can't sustain the effort. Then that carries onto our senior guys like Riggs, Tony and Howie because they carry so much of the load that they get tired as well. It's a familiar, disappointing story.

IT was a familiar tale for Swan Districts on Sunday at Steel Blue Oval with the black-and-whites starting strongly, being on top for much of the first three quarters but ultimately fading to a 34-point defeat at the hands of Claremont.

Swan Districts came into the Sunday clash for Round 10 of the WAFL season following the bye after a similarly strong showing against Perth two weeks ago before a last quarter fadeout.

Then with the breeze at their back in the first quarter on Sunday, Swans started strongly kicking the only three goals of the first quarter and the home side would go on to lead for much of the opening three quarters.

SWAN Districts is back in action on Sunday afternoon against Claremont in a standalone WAFL fixture at Steel Blue Oval. 

Swan Districts' last WAFL clash was two weeks ago against Perth as part of the WA Day long weekend where the black-and-whites looked on track for a third win of the season for much of the afternoon, but it wasn’t quite to be against the Demons.

That has left Swans with two weeks to now stew over that and prepare to take on Claremont this Sunday afternoon at Steel Blue Oval.

SWAN Districts looked likely to come away with the win on Saturday against Perth but in the end it was yet another frustrating loss this season for the Black Ducks in Round 8 of the WAFL season.

Swans were on top of the Demons for most of the contest at Lathlain's Mineral Resources Park and even led by as much as 27 points midway through the third quarter.

However, Swans couldn’t quite hold on and with Perth kicking the last two goals of the game it meant the Demons went on to win by six points.
