Sydney Swans utility Robbie Fox concedes he and his teammates were dominated both physically and mentally by the triumphant Brisbane Lions in Saturday's AFL grand final.

Schneider won a premiership with Sydney in 2005, and he reflected on his memories from that game as well as the losing Grand Final for the Swans in 2006 to West Coast. The small forward also featured in three more Grand Finals with St Kilda, in 2009 against Geelong and both games in 2010 against Collingwood.

Sydney's 60-point smashing at the hands of Brisbane is the Swans' fourth successive Grand Final loss, and their third by 10 or more goals in that time. They're gaining a label that will be hard to shake,

Sydney's shot at AFL grand final redemption has crash-landed and piled on the misery. After being the top side since round nine and looking like they had their ducks in a row, the Swans were swamped in the second term on Saturday at the MCG and slumped to a 60-point hammering from the Brisbane Lions.
