This team has certainly been stretching my stress levels of late. Great game to barry hall, who probably could have gotten more goals if it werent for the several mistakes by sydney players. Was the ground wet before the game or something?

Never doubted them for a minute.Who am I kidding I thought we were gone after Carlton led by 18 and it looked like we stopped much like the Bris preliminary final.
I am pumped.Go you Swannies.
How good is Bevan?I wish we could reduce our clangers.I don't have any hair left after today.

Well done Sydney! Got my tip right!

How dodgy was the commentry? It sounded like Carlton were flogging Sydney by first quarter time even though we were leading. Very poor... does the radio commentry match up with the tv broadcast?

Swans had some dodgy skill errors and were still giving away too many free kicks. Stop the frees and we will look much better.

McVeigh got himself into some great positions only to ruin it with poor decision making - there is certainly potential!

Will this be Willo's last season? (We do have Schneider and Buchanon to replace him).

There was a light drizzle falling at one point. It was especially noticeable at the end of a quarter when I could look around and see it falling. The drizzle made it a bit slippery.

How many times did we hear "Carlton are going for four in a row"? The commentary did swing our way a bit in the final quarter, with Bazza getting big wraps particularly from KB.

Aye! At least we didn't hear them say Carlton would of won if they had Fevola.

NO! He's still got at least 2-3 seasons left.

Commentary was pretty Caaaaaaaaaarlton based in 3rd quarter and half of the 4th.
They got a lot of Sydney players names mixed up.
I thought Goodes got a bit from KB and Campbell(?) about his form.

again we will have to put up with the cries of us winning when the opposition has their key forwards out. How about some acknowledgment about our guys winning when they lost Fozzy before the game (maybe that one was predictable), they lose LRT in the warm up and cant replace him and apparently Ball played with a bad back. Better to lose players during the week before and be able to plan for their absence than to lose players in the pre-game warm up.

With Schneider underdone, Micky putting in a bad one I thought it was a great effort from some of the unheralded players - NOG in particular but also Bevan...and I thought Doyle did ok in the ruck as well (but I wish he could hold some marks)

Actually I remember "Fevola could have been the difference" twice mentioned during the game.

Is everyone (commentators) blind to the fact we are still missing big names (Davis, Schauble, Fozzie)!!!!

**Margie** · 3 July 2004, 06:55 PM

Schwatta also said things like "Goodes has had his colours lowered today".

I know that O'Keefe and B2 looked fairly interchangable from a distance, but when one of them (B2, but was claimed as O'Keefe) takes a mark in the back 50 (predomionantly B2 territory), and then we get a close up of his face and his number, is it that hard to differentiate between them?
