          Yes. Here.

          Leo is 7th. Hall and Jolly make the top 20 as well.

          [edit: Fox Footy's slightly more up-to-date stats have Leo in 4th and Jolly has moved into the top 10.]

                Aker on his day can be brilliant.
                Also seems to be to mentally fragile and when things don't go his way such as today, tends to get frustrated into giving away stupid frees etc.

                  Heeby Jeebies, wouldn't have heard this said in many many years referring to the Lions.

                  Great workmanlike performance from the lads and makes me feel a whole lot more confident about 2006. We seem back mentally and that was the battle.

                  Goodes, Bolton (Jude) supurb and that Bitch slap from Aker has still got me laughing!!

                    If Aker and Spida made the difference for us in the next two years, then you could afford to give up a couple of draft punts.

                      Barry 4th, Jollly 8th. Swans have 6 players in top 25 of Frees Against.

                        They pick the All Australian team that way I think.

                          If the two blokes had have got out, cross over at qtr time. If not, why bother?

                            I don't want Aka - White Line Stupidity.
                            And although Leo gives away a lot of frees, how many are VERY soft? We reckon he's being singled out - others do the same things and it's let go.
                            He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                              I can't work out how body on body is a push in the back only if it involves Leo Barry.

                              BTW I think the late change was beneficial to the Swans today, Dempster in and Mathews out can only be a good thing. I think Dempsters game was a good one, did some good things, looks good for the future.

                                Watching today, although not exciting in some respects what i seen was a polished good hard performance from the whole team..
                                A little bit scrappy with some of their disposals....

                                Listening to Brereton today say this team is in better position with 3-3 compared to last year 2-4, and there is no doubt that this team cant go all the way again, i think is a credit to the swans over the last few weeks. Has my hopes to adding another year to the Tattoo come september.

                                looking at the results this week have exposed some ridiculous media perceptions on the make up this year final eight.
                                Crows, Swans, Eagles and Saints probably have the final creditentials to take out the flag. Swans are probably the most discipline if they can improve their disposals and goal kciking conversions.


                                Do we want spida??? Hell yeah....
                                Aker???.....undecided he certainly has the ability...No DH rule??
                                well, locket and Hall weren't exactly members of the golden boy club when they came to the swans, however coming tot he swans was the best thing for either of those players.

                                I think AKer could prove to be the same, but it is whether he wants to fit into the swans mold or not that will determine the answer to that.
