Swans to stay patient

Pretty good actually. He was one of the villians who kicked into the forward line without giving our guys a realistic chance but otherwise his disposals were pretty good and he was working hard at creating something. I agree with others that the quality of his disposals has been mixed so far this year but wouldn't criticise him for this on the basis of this game.

He probably was our best IMO, just edging out O'Keefe. O'Keefe's efforts were more visible but his opponent was playing wide of him and also picked up lots of ball (Campbell).

For me, the reason the final quarter was so disappointing was because of the Swans' dominance for most of the game.

Apart from the final quarter, we were clearly the better side (or maybe the least bad?), and I was continually expecting that we'd finally get our I50 delivery right and whack on 5 or 6 quick goals to close out the game.

Anyhow, O'Keefe played well, but his opponent was rated 2BOG by the radio commentators I was listening to.

Thanks, that's good as it's what I thought (and how I voted), but I was wondering given there were a lot of comments about his disposal.

The coaches actually gave Willo a vote. At least he was providing drive, but his passes into the forward line were often too sharp for the conditions, or too low. I think the skills of both sides were shown up, but when it is all said and done Richo was the difference. Seven goals out of ten is huge on a wet day. Sure they got it down there, but he played exceptionally well after a lay-off and one of the goals was from well outside the 45 metre line into the wind.
