O'Keefe's form thus far...

[ROK Lobster]

...has been inversely proportional to the length of his hair (as has Kirk's to a lesser extent). It could be all that is holding LRT back! Hope to see the clippers out before September...

[BonBon]

Ryan's new shave looks smash-o.

[Snowy]

Has been very consistent of late.

They should all follow Barry's lead

I think O'Keefe is back to his best form of 2003. Last night he was solid and as I recall everytime he had the ball he did something good with it. His return to his best form is one reason Sydney are playing so well.

Thankyou and I'll pass that onto him when he comes home for dinner tonight.

brilliant pass to mick o at one point when he gathered the ball on the wing

agree on the haircut....also perhaps the lack of arm band might say something about his mental state.

understand the grieving for his bro, but let's move on.

they can catch up in heaven and he can tell him all about the footy later

ROK is playing top footy at the moment. But for a couple of slips on the supect turf, his stats and scores may have been more imposing.

Same with MOL, on the slip story, in the 3rd qtr he got away from his opponent and was running full tilt to a bouncing ball, and stumbled and almost went A over T. And they say the surface is fine


As for ROK, fantastic game, a couple of times I thought he was out positioned or out numbered, but he came up with the ball. Great effort and skill.

Was going to start a thread on ROK's form. His form has meant we are moving the ball into the forward 50 much quicker meaning more space down there. And his marking is back!! 2004 form is here.

I loved the play in the 2nd quarter to set up Mathews goal. Jude Bolton out wide to O'Keefe. Okeefe then sends the ball into the lead of Micky O who doesn't break stride to take it comfortably on the chest.

O'Keefe has been great for the past couple of games. He is always one of hardest working players in the team (and that means a lot in this Swans team) and it is good to see that he is finally getting the possessions to match that. We need him to play well.

Without exactly knowing who of each team has marked him; I still believe he is only good when he gets a "poor" defender against him. So with Davis back in the side he has been "freed" a bit more. I suppose the best way to tell is by comparing his performance to the last Melbourne game.

On Ryan's form he is looking good for Best and Fairest for Swans.
Closely followed by Barry and Jude Bolton.

If the season started 3 weeks ago, then possibly. But he was average at best for the first half of the season. Unlikely to finish top 5 IMHO.

Actually Top 10 will be a good result. Even his good form of late has coincided with some others finding some better form.

Still, he's doing his job & I'm sure that's what really counts.
