Super Ted

I think he is clearly in our best 3 atm. Without him tonight in defense it would have been uglier.

I am a fan. Great game Teddy!

Yup, the teddy bear was great tonight, he can go home proud, aswell as O'Keefe, Kennelly, Dempster, Kirk and maybe Buchs?

Teddy, Malceski and Ablett were all standouts tonight. Kirk and Kennelly too.

May not be the most talented footballer around, but he has a great attitude. His style of play may come unstuck on occasions, and will be exposed at times, but at the moment, he's riding high on confidence carried over from the GF.

20 possessions (12 kicks, 8 handballs), his highest total to date. Ted did his job, too bad others in the side didn't...

I too thought Teddy was in our best tonight. Hard to really judge the rest - the backline worked hard, but also shared the ball around alot without really giving us the run we get when we play our best.

Thought Ablett tried hard and did a few good things and will be better for the run.

Apart from that, not really very much to write home about.

He did alright, but his initial opponent Brown did get a fair bit of it.

He did alright, but his initial opponent Brown did get a fair bit of it.

Yes, and that's what I meant about "his style" that will come unstuck on occasions. He leaves his opponent to win the ball and drives it back to our forward line. If he'll just be a stay at home type player, we will see the ball stay longer in our backline line, and more than likely, more scoring opportunities will present themselves for the opposition. At the moment, Richards is winning enough of the ball to be effective offensively while doing an OK job defensively.

I'm firmly on his bandwagon and he would've been our best Swan last night if it wasn't for Kirky (damn).

i like his attitude since the half way mark of last season, i think it comes with confidence of being a permanent senior footballer. It showed through the finals campaign last year, great addition to the bloods.
