    Cleary's last two games have been his best. He's working it out.
    Pity his skills don't match the love.

      Although, when Heeney was asked in a post-match interview who he thought had played well, he did mention Cleary.

        It appears that Amartey and Rosa have lost the plot, Both terrible games last night, It might be time for them to play VFL.

          I thought Rosas played better up the ground, maybe we have too many out to let that happen but he is evasive and a good field kick.

          Amartey needs to jump and crash packs, stays down like he is a crumber. Ladhams in, Mclean permanent fwd, he jumps at everything

          Logan and Curnow are unreal when let to roam.
          The tall structure is working except for Amartey having an Amartey type patch of games. Built like Tarzan plays like Jane

          His only out is that the delivery into the fwd line was terrible with alot of guys going for kick of the year.

            -ladhams not picked (i think) because he is only a ruckman. struggles up fwd. Hayden may not be a best back up ruck but when he rests fwd is very good although last night his kivking was off (very unusual for him).
            Amartey is the real problem must be thinking about his millions not concentrating on football and is dropping easy marks , definitely a time for the twos. Cleary (his over the heard handball is shocking) struggles and I think Corey or Billie C would be a better pick. Bice is making too many mistakes for my liking and maybe Snell or Ramps (when fit) ccould replace him. Will be good to get some injured players back.

              Goes to ground and gets pushed off it too easy

              About 4 times last night there was a loose ball to be won in open space on the wing and he didnt get one of them, if that's not his game im not sure was is

                Some encouraging news on injuries: Good news keeps coming as Swans prepare for tough run after bye (afl.com.au). The article names five players who are likely to return from injury soon and mentions the four difficult games to come after the bye. Players named were Gulden, McCartin, Papley, Rampe and Campbell.

                This week's The Round So Far on the AFL website mentioned eight players as "key injuries" at about the 2 minute mark. I would say seven of those players would be first 23 when fit (not Hanily).
