So I watched a stream of the first quarter through gritted eyes and then switched off, part in annoyance, in part to get ready to head out to the SCG. Now on the bus and I see the Swans put in a bit of a better effort in the second quarter. I’d been planning on a side trip on my way to the SCG? But should I instead head to Tramway to catch the final quarter?

Sure, they played a good second quarter. But of course, that's no guarantee of a quality performance later on.

Fortunately I will have evidence from the 3rd quarter available before I need to make a decision.

HT 7.5 v 9.8
So much better that quarter. Defence looking more organised with Fox down there. Snell looking solid and Bowman has picked off some execllent intercepts.
Cleary and Corey Warner providing much more drive out of the centre, Datoli and Hanily lively in attack.

Snap.

Well, I'm optimistic, but that optimism has mislead me in the past.

Snap.

Great minds...

Datoli all class, Bowman good again of half back.

[bandwagon]

Oh my - that umpiring decision

[liz]

Just between Surry Hills and Moore Park tram stops. Need to make a decision. Looks like I should get off at the next stop…

[bandwagon]

And we hit the lead!

[bandwagon]

Well that didn't last long. Florent trying to bite off too much.

Loving this match - great snap by Hanily

How can a team go from conceding eight goals in a quarter to then just two for the next two quarters? Did McVeigh get sacked at QT?

[dejavoodoo44]

Nice to be in front. I liked Green in that quarter. Dattoli can't be far off a debut, although Hanily is staking a claim to be the next small forward picked. Pleased that McNamara got a goal.

[Sandridge]

C'mon Bloods! Finish it off!!

3QT 12.5 v 10.12
Good work continues from 2Q. People might look at the stats and think Green has been well beaten in the ruck, but he has been influential in all other aspects - laying tackles, taking marks around the ground, delivering accurately into 50 and kicking goals. Hope he doesn't run out of gas in the last - the backup ruck has been Forrest, a 189cm teenager playing his first game.
