Match day thread Swans v Freo

[voodooguru]

Schneider goal....after a 2 on 1 win to Davis.

Handball from McV to Schneider, lucky McV got a second bite at it, appeared to shy away from impending contact..

[satchmopugdog]

We kicked 4 goals in the first half...so a positive.

H/T Swans 4-11 to Freo 5-3 ...C'mon Swans plenty of scoring shot lets put the buggers away.

You mean squibbed it.

[Nico]

We lack instinct. Try to finess too much go the first option and kick long. Schmidt, dont handball to Leo, kick it long when clear. Very individual stuff Leo.

Not impressive...my hero MvVeigh had a lot of ball early...unfortunately mostly ineffective. Then ducked a hard tackle & managed to contribute to a goal. Umpire pretty awful to us but we would be well in front if we had an ounce of skill & composure.

good first half (compared to the last month) apart from the converting, intensity is high. Very positive run and carry from HB with Tadgh back there. If we keep this up hopefully kick enough behinds to win the game.

Bit harsh Garry the conditions are crap, at least we had 15 scoring shots to H/T if only we could convert a few more.

I see no need to soften a word. Woeful kicking is part of the lack of skill & composure is it not?

woeful kicking at goal, but many of those have been rushed snap kicks with Freo defenders ready to tackle. Even set shots are going to be tough, but you wouldn't think so watching Freo convert all their chances. On the whole, Swans players have shown good hands with some very slick ball movement despite the weather, although one could argue "why the @@@@ are they handballing and not kicking long".

[Zlatorog]

Because their kicking skills are no good.

[Nico]

What was that on the wing Bevan. Pathetic player with no idea. Play monkeys you get peanuts.

[Nico]

Bevan again with an unnecessary handball gave up the footy and refused to chase. Just stood there and did not even attempt a second effort.

[satchmopugdog]

I'm turning off the radio and going outside to do some gardening...it's a nice day here. I've had enough. See you next year.

we're gone. Docker by only 6, but we just look gone.
