Phew!!!

Woah - that was rather lucky in some ways!!

Great goals at the end by Kennelly and O'Loughlin.

Excellent handball under pressure at CHB by Fixter - good to see him back.

Goodes is not a CHB, he's a ruck rover!

I'm exhausted!

I can only imagine what it would have been like at TS - listening to it on the radio was nerve wracking enough!

Quartermain: "Tarrant was the difference in the game".

W@nker.

Well done boys. I thought Leo Barry was outstanding. Every week he is undermanned and undersized but he contines to beat his opponent as well as set up play, run and basically is in control of the back line. Hall, O'Loughlin, Kennelly were also fantastic. Williams quiet. I agree with NMWBloods - Goodes is not a CHB.

I thought the same bloody thing as well, at least he admitted the Swans were without Davis and Schneider. Then he goes on to say injuries have cost Collingwood this season. What about us??? We have the worst run of injuries out of any club and yet we manage to go 7-6.

I'm watching the match at the moment on tv and when Holland kicked his second Quartermain mentioned how he signalled the two to Willo - while Willo's reply was hitting him with his shoulder

Holland might have gotten the two goals, Willo got an extra possession and the four points

Sounds like RO'K and Kirky played really well.

Also was Kenneally's final quarter goal as good as they described it on the radio?

Very impressed with Thewlis!

I think he can play CHB well, he just has to learn to mark his man more tightly

I think we're just going to have to accept that Goodesy is a bit of a Bruce Lee - "no fixed positions".

Tim Lane: "I think if Chris Tarrant had have been there the result would have been different".

Double W@nker.

Schneider, Davis, Schauble, Saddington...

Yes - I thought he looked pretty composed and his disposal was generally good. I think he should have no problems becoming a regular before long.

Ditto, looks the goods

The commitment was there the entire night, some skill errors particularly in the first quarter kept the Pies close, umpiring was good at times, poor at others, but not really gonna harp on that.

Was impressed with the way Magic really got into the game in the 2nd half after struggling in the first, thought Kirk and Bolton did a great job in the centre - specific moments coming to mind were Kirk's contested possession that led to Ben Mathews goal in the 3rd and Bolton's clearance that led to Kennelly streaking away and kicking his goal.

Great to see Ben Fixter back, and Thewlis showed he is not out of place at the top level.

Crowd was a little disappointing.

Saw Colless heading down to get to the gate to cross the ground and get to the rooms, and his comment was "That was pretty good wasn't it", so I'd say he was damn happy to get one up on McChin.

And to the CS, a very clever banner!!!!

You've probably seen it by now but the answer is yes. Was a little concerned that he might have run too far.
