Round 9 vs Bulldogs *Spoilers Included*

[gossipcom]

Does it annoy anyone else that there's no timer on this damn match?

[Glenn]

Indeed... positive start despite the changes

[gossipcom]

I'm more shocked that we're leading the free kick count 8-2 - that will somehow change before the match is over.

[Glenn]

Actually managed a 50m free to Jolly, pity he was only about 10m from Goal

Now a couple of late goals get the dogs back into it...argghh

[gossipcom]

Jolly and Everitt definitely had their Weetbix this morning that's for sure. We should be in front more than we are at quarter time.

[Glenn]

Great passage of play but Monty can't finish it
And finally QTR time, can we have a countdown clock please if this get close the last few minutes are going to be unbearable.

[ugg]

Boys looked switched on, the pressure is as good from last week. Good signs. On the down side, Fosdike butchered at least 4 kicks in that quarter.

[voodooguru]

End of 1st

Whipping boys McVeigh, Bolton, Bevan - good enough so far.

Is Darren Jolley the most in-form ruckman in the comp?

[cruiser]

Pity we let them in with a couple at the end and missed a couple we should have kicked ourselves. 7-1 would have been a more appropriate goal score for what was, overall, a good quarter by Sydney.

[TheMase]

Jude Bolton has been pretty good
Actually getting into a good position before he kicks the footy.

[gossipcom]

Free kick count at the end of the 1st Quarter

Swans 8
Bulldogs 4

Everitt and Fossie are the leading Swans possession takers with 7 a piece. Johnson has 9 and Eagleton 8 for the Bulldogs.

[TheMase]

Ablett has been definitely told that when he is tagging he needs to be more damaging on the return. He is showing up down forward more often than previous.

[Foreign Legion]

I'll make a bold statement now and say that Goodesy will be the key player in this game.

Bazza and Mick not much influence yet but that is probably a good thing.

Can't be too upset at a 5 goal qtr.

[stellation]

Whipping boys McVeigh, Bolton, Bevan - good enough so far.

I thought Bevan was very good twice in that quarter with clean hands under pressure.

[TheMase]

More importantly though. 17 tackles that quarter.
