Round 8: Swans v Giants.

[longmile]

2 main points

- worried about our fitness
- giants really playing for highs and who can blame them with the amount that has been paid

[Foreign Legion]

19 free kicks to them in a half - that is good going. I reckon 8-9 of them have been ok.

We miss Papley so much. We need a crumbing forward as we rarely take a contested mark in the forward line. Warner going well. Just need intensity and the umps to be shown stats at half time.

I would have taken being a goal in front at half time, but I'm not sure if we currently have the depth around the ball to wrest the momentum back our way.

What about the free kick against Heeney! Is that the worse decision of the year? You notice when Giants take the ball they flop to the ground looking for a head high tackle. Can someone tell me why we have Hamling and Francis in the side? Both are incapable of laying a tackle. A ten year old would have kicked the goal Hamling missed.

Smacked at contested ball. Can’t leave it all to Heeney and Chad. McInerney giving a bit but Rowie and Grundy need a big lift.

Melican looking at two or three weeks unfortunately.

[Foreign Legion]

McInerney started well but didnt do much that quarter. Hayward really needs to step up

[dejavoodoo44]

Nice pressure by Cleary to set up the Francis goal.

[longmile]

Wow - two crucial misses. Really need those. Game of momentum …

[imuninformedtwo]

Juzzy’s kicking has been off lately but that was ridiculous

[UUaswan]

Juzzy skills terrible, even his drop punts are flour bags

[UUaswan]

how do they fumble the length of the ground

[dejavoodoo44]

Wouldn't mind a free sometime this quarter.

[Daisi]

Neither of these teams seem very good- I can't see either going far this year...some of those HTB decisions are very iffy...We can win this..with a bit of luck

[dejavoodoo44]

Radio commentators seem to think that Heeney has a hamstring niggle. Ugghh.

[UUaswan]

Physical game, earning everything they get
