    Anyone who can't see that really does have an axe to grind and no idea about the game....

      He wasn't 'great' atall. You're just blinkered into thinking he's some sort of gun.

      Been OK the last few weeks and has had a better season this year but that's all. Maybe we're too hard on him but you've gone too far the other way.

        Perhaps the blinkers aren't on me, the commentators, his team mates, the selectors or Roos..... Perhaps they're just on the half a dozen or so that keep gunning for him here....

        Now isn't that a crazy thought???

          Yes - you've demonstrated your lack of football knowledge by suggesting that Mathews had a "great" game!

            And you've demonstrated your complete bias towards him and ignorance of the game by being unable to admit that he did have a great game.....

              No - I said I thought he had a good game, particularly in the first half, although fading a bit in the second half, and was one of our best players.

              To say he was "great" is just absurd.

                Yep. Agreed. We had some great conributors on Saturday. He was one of them.

                  Yes, so many 'great' contributors...

                    Yes. Unlike this conversation where the only contribution of value is yours truly, On Saturday night we had some great contributions by the majority of the team.

                    Enough said.

                      LOL - so many tickets, lucky you underwrote them yourself though... standing next to the cup and plasting pictures of it everywhere does not actually make you knowledgeable about football. Other people have commented on what it makes you though...

                      'Great' contributors - sure... we lost and were outplayed for most of the game. Who were all these 'great' contributors?

                        Yeah. It makes me a supporter who attends important Swans functions. Don't be jealous just because you can't because of a lack of commitment or something else equally pathetic. Me sharing the pics with the likes of yourself, is just me trying to give you a little bit of light to bask in for what is a most ordinary life. Enjoy my reflected light while you can tiger.

                        I thought McVeigh, Kirk, Mathews, ROK, Malceski, Fosdike, Everitt and C.Bolton had great games whilst J. Bolton, Mickey O, Goodes and Davis were serviceable....

                          Oh my god - I am so jealous at someone living their life vicariously through the achievement of others they don't even know...

                            I agree. We must have been watching different games.

                              I know that your familiar with living vicariously through someone. Don't fight it any longer precious. Embrace your shortfalls and learn from them. PM me and I'll share some stories with with you that perhaps you can take on as your own and pass down to your grand kids...
