Does anyone know what the injuries were from the game? Someone mentioned in the Match thread that we only had 1 fit player on the bench at some stage.

According to Ross Lyons at the AfterMatch:

LRT had cramp - nothing more

Malceski had some soreness at the back of his knee but it's not though to be serious.

Fosdike and Leo had some twinges - taking them off was precautionary - he expects them to be available

Kennelly's bouncing skills. First one was ordinary. the 2nd one was woeful.

That's what happens when you try to bounce rabbits!

Our forwards seemed to struggle today. Apart from the last 10 minutes of the game, we must have well and truely dominated the I50s but were unable to capitalise on the scoreboard.

I saw them butcher at least 3 goals with poor communicaton.

As a kid you expect a little uncertainty from Dempster, but the handball to a near imobile Matthews in the middle was a very poor choice for a kid with such an enormous kick.

I think the thought was a one-two, and I am betting Mathews called for it. Sure it didn't come off, but we should still admire the risks being taken to score goals.

The crowd was back to their woeful Sydney worst. Awful umpiring decisions went un-booed, WC misses went un-cheered - it was a house of tea and scones, not a house of pain. The WC supporters were louder in the first quarter when decisions went against them and I couldn't even see any at the ground! Get it together people, put your clothes back on, stop sunbathing and watch the game!

That's what I assumed at the ground, it's not an unknown for Ben, but on the telly it didn't look like he was calling for it. Perhaps the way the players were being run down from behind prompted it?

B1 got tackled while attempting to run away from a pack while surrounded by Swans players who should have been yelling "HOT!" (but maybe they were and B1 just blushed).

God knows what'd happen if they called "back-door"
