Swans vs Essendon Match Thread

The match starts in an hour..I think most of us are expecting it to be tough but are also expecting the boys to take the 4 points. Lets hope we can kick a big score tonight

I better leave soon then as I want to stop and get my money on Kirk and Goodes for the Brownlow before the odds drop after their games tonight.

BTW why is the Ch10 telecast delayed by 20 minutes? So we can't listen to MMM?

So they can show Monk or some other stupid program.

Dissapointing first Quarter..had plenty of chances but is it just me or are Essendon really flooding back while we leave their forward line open?

Damn this is an annoying game to watch, that turn over by Nick Davis hurt us big time.

I know but surely Essendon can't be this efficient and accurate all game?

They kicked 14.4 last time.

10 points down at half time isn't too bad considering how average we've been.
We're breaking down across half-forward too often.
They're giving Lloyd a lot of room to run into with and its working.
Crouchy's 2 FKs against were very harsh, especially that tackle on Monfries.
Vogels should play more in the forward line, it really stretches their defence having the shorter Welsh on him.
Looks like Goodesy is having one of those dirty nights.
We can play better and if we hit our straps we're a good chance.

Bad error- it only cost us a 50 metre shot on goal, Crouch's mistake was worse.

WTF was that bull**** free to Lucas for...grrr Umpires have been shocking tonight..both ways though..paying way too many frees.

I haven't seen a minute of this game: Is it just a case of us having been 'up' for a few weeks, and simply having a predictable--but not acceptable--downer (eg why we lost to Richmond)?

What pathetic umpiring if any of those idiots umpire a final it would be a joke

[ugg]

'knee in the back' - now I've heard it all .

Jolly's miss could be crucial. Damn Telstra Dome surface.

midaro: its a very open game, I think the tempo is going a bit faster than what we'd like. Too many skill errors and turnovers are costing us at the moment.

Good win..just what we needed is to win a high pressure shootout away from home. Broke the 16 year drought against Essendon in Melbourne aswell.

Very solid performance. Really could have won by more (see goials from silly turnovers, goals to Essendon late in qtrs 1 2 and 3), but if someone offered a 20 point win before the game, I'd have taken it in a heartbeat.
