I agree with you Monopoly, though Mathews was in the 'Sydneys best'. He had a lot of possessions, and was at one stage the only Swan in the top 5 players on the ground.

Nicks did well, hard at the ball.

Balls kept going to O'Keefe though never to his chest, above his head so it was easy for the Weagle on him to spoil.

Hall- Terrific!

Davis- MIA????

Buchanan- really went for the ball this week, and did some terrific things up in the Eagles 50.

Crouch- not his best game.

James- I know he hasn't been playing that great, but he is only a baby in footy game experience, he is doing well, and these experiences he has had can only strenghten him.... I hope.

Rogers- He did a few good things in the first quarter, though not enough. I'm not giving up on him either!

I thought Mathews had a great game - not in the Judd class but definitely in the best few for the Swans.

Yup, ordinary game from O'Keefe given the form he's been in in recent weeks. Not poor, just not as good as he's been. Still he seemed to keep working for the whole game which is a positive. Wasn't sure if the problem was the delivery to him or that he wasn't reading the ball too well. Most of the ones that sailed over his head were when he was on long leads so it was partly his responsibility to arrive at the "right time" I guess.

Crouch- not his best game.

Tough tough assignment for Crouch this week. Judd is an awesome player and while Crouch was probably chosen for leg speed he was giving away about 6 inches and 8kgs to Judd. Plus Judd has the skills to complement his physique.

Forget about Pavlich, Ball, Brown even Riewoldt - if the Swans could get one player from another club, Judd would get my vote.

No question - Benny was fantastic yesterday - maybe all his knockers can now get off his back for a while.

as if. Even if he won the Brownlow, there would still be people saying his disposal is too poor and turnovers too costly. Hes our most underrated workhorse IMHO.

was that a two or three year contract he signed with the eagles???
