Super first quarter from Spida.

And B2 doing nice job early on Richo too.

Slow start from the Swans. But once Hall went off (fingers crossed its nothing serious) we actually looked better. Also coincided with us moving the ball forward more quickly too

I know we were expected to dominate in the ruck, but good to see both Everitt and Jolly getting a bit of the ball around the ground.

Does anyone think Hall will play again this game?

Mathews getting a lot of the ball but turning it over about 50% of the time as well.

Triple M's reporting it as a strained medial ligament and he's starting on the ground!! I'm surprised...we actually seemed to adapt well once he went off, so it would seem unneccessary to risk him...

Yep, round about the start of the 2nd quarter

Crazy stuff- Hall looks like he hurt his knee again while taking a mark, and didn't make the distance from 30!! Get him off, why risk him.

Back to the game, Eski just kicked a great goal!

Oh man, what an exasperating quarter. We're clearly the better team but foot skills are poor at the moment. And that last goal... sheesh!!

[Mike_B]

Hall would be done for the day IMHO now (especially considering he has the jacket on).

Not a bad qtr from us, but wasted a few good opportunities - 2.6 for the qtr. MOL's miss was a pity coz he did such hard work to get the shot.

Spida playing strongly, Jolly putting in bigger efforts than last week. Good 2nd qtr from Ted after being quiet in the first (although his kick right before the siren was poor).

Kennelly, C Bolts and the Eski doing well in the backline. Kirk tackling his bum off.

Would like to see Grundy and Fosdike get into the game in the 2nd half.

Ruckmen are certainly playing better than they did last week.

[hammo]

We're keeping them in it.

Very little fluency to our game and our skills are shocking.

MOL's miss after doing all the hard work!

Had to turn MMM off as their commentary is shocking. I thought Nathan Ablett played for the cats and who the heck is Luke Bolton?
Have retuned the radio to 702 only downside to that is Tracey Holmes.

arrrgh you just know we are gonna miss goals from an angle. Can't believe we are keeping them in it but we are so superior WE SHOULD run over the top of them easily in the 2nd half when we get our skills up.

[graystar]

The Mick O and Richards misses really changed the tone for us. And Teddy what was he thinking at the end of the 2nd half.

Bloody Gaspar, I think Hall was okay until he dragged him down for that mark.
