From AFL.Com:

BEST ? Sydney: Hall, Nicks, J. Bolton, Goodes, Williams, Maxfield

Some of the 50s awarded were ludicrous. I thought the umpires panicked with their 50m frenzy.

Maxfield knocking Aker over and jogging away as if he didn't even notice was almost as much of a highlight as the post-siren win. He has a much needed bit of mongrel about him but I think he needs a different position (HFF?) or more bench time.

Its funny - at the ground I was reading Stuey the last rites up until 3/4 time, but then watching the replay, I saw a lot of good things that he did over the first 3/4. So apologies to Stu on that - not nearly as bad as I had made out. And don't forget that it was his soccer off the ground that Nicks ran onto to create the goal for Goodes in the last quarter - desperate play that led to a goal.

However, he is still clearly struggling and will need to lift in the coming weeks. Captain or not, you have to be able to hold you place in the 22 on footballing ability - setimentality can't be brought into it.

17 possessions, 4 tackles and a lot of mongrel.

Made some mistakes but I doubt we would have won without him.

ROK was generally hopeless last night.

Hall was good but the ball never got to him. There were five Inside 50s inthe second quarter!!!

I still think Maxfield is barely going and the only thing preventing early retirement (a la Schwatta) is the captaincy and the prospect of 300 games.

i agree with the rok comment, at the risk of being shot at by female swans fans, he hasnt even been a shadow of his last year self. He hasnt done anything much yet

I'm female and couldn't agree with you more....

[LittleSchneider]

Erin and I both agree...

now...about that sign Erin...

Maxwell was the proverbial clanger king last night, if he wasn't captain you'd surely promote McVeigh ahead of him and develop him for the future.

Maxwell? Im a crows girl and even i know its Maxfield...

To tell you the truth, i thought that he was playing for the lions Sat night... imho he just doesnt seem to have the leadership skills to captain a game with enough courage that he will pick a game up and turn it around.


Your captain needs to have excellent skills, granted, but also needs to have the inspiration to motivate a whole team. Its a tough job, but if your captains lacking, you'll find so to is your team...eg: Crawf.
