Swans v Tigers Match Thread

[liz]

4 points at 3/4 time and this is the worst I've seen us in a few years. Probably deserve to lose based on this performance. Desperately need to lift.

You're kidding right? Can't compare to the Adelaide game last year, the Saints game in 2005, the Port and Bombers games last year, even the Richmond game at the 'G two years ago.

Swans are playing patchily but they're not playing rubbish. Don't underestimate how hard Richmond are working and how decent their skills look.

The less said about Leo Barry the better.

Spida's tap to ROK was the highlight of that quarter. We played all over them for 5 minutes but have let them back in.

We will be lucky to win this...Grundy is useless, we are kicking to Hall on one leg, no imagination, Schneider pathetic, wrong choices everywhere, Ted reverting to type, Everitt good, Malceski good, Craig good...but we don't deserve to win this.

[Zlatorog]

Not only hands, they left their brain in Sydney as well.

Channel 10 commentators are bias @@@@s.

Give him a break, he's barely played any football this year.

[Carolyn]

Bad start to the 4th quarter...

[Zlatorog]

Yeah, the momentum is gone. I can't see them winning this one.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Well, this is definitely an all time low close enough anyway.

[cruiser]

Yikes. I feel sick with worry. Better to feel that way with a 12 pt lead though rather than any deficit.

[Jeffers1984]

Phew!!

SPIDA!!!!!!!!!!!! How bloody good is he?

[ugg]

Spida! What a fantastic game by him. Feels really weird to have a dominant ruckman.

[Mike_B]

It wasn't pretty, but we found a way to win. Big thing for today was getting goals from guys who don't kick goals often - Malceski, C Bolton, Kennelly, Schmidt, Jolly (!).

Big game from Spida - get some football into him and he will show he was worth the pick up. Admittedly he didn't have the greatest ruck opposition, but he took a few strong marks. Good to see Jolly working much harder today as well - needed a big game after last week and he definitely stepped up.

Half back line was pretty effective. Forward line not so much but as mentioned above we got goals from different sources.

Schneider and Reg will be better for the run while Schmidt did a few good things.

Jude Bolton really needs to lift - just not doing enough.

[ROK Lobster]

Sheesh. I thought we were ordinary in patches, but not as bad as the analysis here. Richmond were pretty hard at it but the better side won through on the day. Hall should not have come back - probably cost us three goals.

[AussieAnge]

Our forward line is looking a tad out of sorts. Hall clearly is struggling, while Reg and the Schneiderman both look like players who haven't played much footy in the last month.

Agree.
