Swans V W.C.

[Foreign Legion]

Looking good at 1/4 time

Swans 4.6.30
WC 1.2.8

Wish we could kick straight - O'Loughlin 3 goals!

[Foreign Legion]

Half time
Swans 8.9.57
WC 4.4.28

Not a bad 1/4 but we still made some silly errors - luckily so did West Coast.

O'Loughlin now has 4 and Barry Hall has dropped about 3 or 4 CHEST marks!

If we keep the pressure on we should win from here...

[Charlie]

If we come out and use that slight breeze to put on a couple more goals in the third... we'll win.

If we can be up by 40 points at 3/4 time, we'll have no problems.

GO SWANS!

Still nervous. We've given up soft goals - but then so have they.

[Foreign Legion]

Yes Charlie, you can't see WC running home in the last 1/4 because of the travel and the very heavy conditions they played in last week.

If we can kick 4 this 1/4 and restrict them to that or less we will be right.

Once again I am delighted with Craig Bolton - jeez he can play, 14 possessions at 1/2 time.

[midaro]

BTW do you think there is any chance what-so-ever that LRT will be given more than 3 minutes game time?

[midaro]

Can you feel it. We're gonna snatch defeat here

[Charlie]

Why the hell did we go and let 'em back in like that?????

We were up by 40 points... bang. bang. bang.

GRRR!!!

[Foreign Legion]

Why do we let sides kick so many goals in the last 30 seconds of a quarter!!!!

All Nicks had to do was kick it a bit longer to the square and we could have held out that last one.

We MUST kick the first goal this 1/4.

[midaro]

We won. But how much did that feel like every close defeat last year? I feel sick. I hope we're not regressing.

NO!

They came at us. But we DIDN'T capitulate!!! We fought on... instead of just holding on for dear life like we'd have done last year... we kept ATTACKING.... WE WON!!! That's a GOOD SIGN!!!

[NMWBloods]

I don't think we did keep attacking in the last qtr. We went into our shells and became quite defensive and cautious. I think what won it is time ran out. Another 3-4 minutes they would have overrun us. A pretty disappointing last 40 minutes or so, but good to get the win in a pretty scrappy game.

[NMWBloods]

Barry Hall has dropped about 3 or 4 CHEST marks!

He's a terrible overhead mark. In fact he can't even catch the ball over his head.

[Foreign Legion]

Phew!

The Swans players must have shares in a company that sells blood pressure pills - I certainly need some when I watch 'em play.

Thank God for Micky O.

Great win, heart stopping stuff near the end but we held on like we have all season. With St Kilda and Carlton coming up in the next 2 weeks anything is possible.
