I'd pick only Goodes and Williams out of those five, add in Kirk and leave it at three players. The rest were a disgrace

[CureTheSane]

The only player worth mentioning from tonight is Goodes IMO.
He ran, led, marked. All the things that the otehr Swans seem to have forgotten about.

Tiger was OK, Ball was OK

That's all that comes to mind....

Makes you wonder who puts those lists together. Goodesy was by far our best.

I've just taken a look at my own stats for the season so far, and this is Goodesy's story:

* Equal 1st in kicks
* Equal 9th in handballs
* 1st in disposals
* 1st in marks
* 1st in hitouts
* Equal 7th in tackles

He also happens to be 1st in frees against, but I think a few of the guys could take a leaf out of Adam's book, even if it's just from the effort perspective.

[NMWBloods]

They always put J Bolton in because he racks up a lot of possessions. They often put Kennelly in because he looks flashy. Perhaps Saddington also because he is noticeable.

I'd put in Goodes and Williams, perhaps a couple of others, but really struggling to find them.

Adam has been really going for it so far this year. Don't want to mozz him, but I reckon he could be looking at a Brownlow medal (which is great if he's also wearing it ) The Norm Smith medal is out of his reach this year though

Goodes may have the stats but what he does with them is a different matter. Personally I didn't think any of our players rated a mention.

Goodes may have done some good things but he dulled the hysteria about his skills to me by his clangers.

just my $0.02 worth

I thought Goodes was terrific, although there were a few clangers (he wasn't alone!) and a few terrible rainmakers. I thought Crouch did well on Crawford, Schneider was good, Kennelly & Williams in patches. Very disappointed with delivery into forward 50, especially from Maxfield. J. Bolton was always at the ball, but his delivery has barely improved.

Davis and Nicks should be dropped immediately. Lazy.

[robbieando]

Schneider, Willo, Kirk, Saddo were my pick but then again I could hardly see up the other end. The best for Hawthorn clearly had to be
