Vogels will get a game next week but it will be 2008 before he gets more than half a game.

LOL
Moore, too - he only had 20 minutes on the ground until 3/4 time (according to 10's 'Fresh Legs' stat).

Blight continues to make educated comments on the game. How about when he was virtually yelling at Bevan to centre it to Barry Hall at CHF who had made a clear lead, but true form Bevo went for the boundary lead option.

Another time, and this is symptomatic of the level of grey matter we have, Buchanan goes to the top of the square to BBH against 3 opponents and not one crumber. Blight's comments that all the Swans forwards led, Buchanan did the right thing and kicked to the tall forwards - "where are they, that is basic football", in reference to the abscence of small forwards. At worst with a player at the fall of the ball we could have kept it in our forward line.

Who will go for Jolly? They are queueing up.

I started saying it last year and I reckon it still holds. The lack of players at the fall of the ball and the defensive pressure in our attacking 50 is one of the most significant differences between now and 2003.

Spriggs!!!

Am I right in saying that every one of his possessions either went to an opponent or was a clanger or both.

Fair dinkum. He has to start trying to hit opponents on the chest. That way he might find a Swan 10m on his own. I cannot believe he is considered a better prospect than McVeigh.

I reckon Kennelly had backed the Bombers to be in front at half time. His shizen disposal gave them 2 gift goals.

Yeah - I enjoyed a lot of Blight's comments. Just nailed our problems straight away, rather than the usual waffle from Walls.

Spriggs' disposal is just about the worst I have seen. He is absolutely no value. Him and Davis out for Jolly and Maxfield (would prefer McVeigh but unlikely).

OUT: Spriggs IN: Maxfield
OUT: Davis IN: McVeigh
OUT: LRT IN: Jolly

Ah forgot LRT (it's easy to do!!). That makes sense.

I think Essendon are better than a bottom 4 team.

12th at best, but more likely 13th-14th. Who are worse?

I thought the last qtr was his best.
