Solid win, although not brilliant. Some good signs. Hopefully good for their confidence. Nice to see the game open up.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Our first quarter efforts have generally been poor this season and I think we've only won 1 1st quarter in the last 5 or 6 games and that was by 3 points against Freo. If we play an awesome first quarter reminiscent to Port's against West Coast we'll most likely win but if we struggle again to get a score on the board early, we'll have to play catch-up footy and against the Eagles at Subi it'll be tough to win.Last edited by 573v30; 15 July 2007, 05:01 PM.

Good win for the Swans today.
Only downside to the match for me was having to pay for parking at Goulburn Street + Bus Fare. Now I'm out of pocket $10 because of it. If they keep it up it'll be a nice little bonus GS makes. Ugh.Comment

Horrible start, but I never felt the result was in any doubt. Playing with no ruckman Carlton really stood no chance. By the end of the game they were incredibly poor at manning up and it was a easy canter. Interesting that we kicked 25 goals and none of our major forwards Hall, O'Loughlin or O'Keefe were dominant.Comment

How awful was that first quarter? Seriously bad.
Thank god it got better. Amazing how when the other side plays attacking footy that the Swans can play that way too. Some of the kicking into the forward line was exquisite today - EXCEPT whenever we passed to poor old BBBH. Still, I doubt he's ever played that badly and scored 4 goals.
Spida, Schneider, Goodes & ROK best for me. Ablett towelled by Scotland, Kennelly done by Lappin - love a player like Scotland in our side.Comment

A fairly clinical performance although I'm a bit disappointed we conceded as many goals as we did.
As far as positives go I thought out midfield was on fire - Jude, Ablett and Fosdike got plenty of clearances and there was some excellent delivery into the forward line for a change. Some of Fossy's passes in particular were sublime.
Not sure what they'll do with Hall next week but Grundy was very good in the reserves - kicking 7 and some very strong contested marks. I don't think we'd lose much if he played next week in Hall's place.
Goodes looked awesome today and is running into some very nice form."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

With good reason, too- he had a field day! Even though he did not seem to have an opponent for much of it, he kicked two lovely goals. Sorry you couldn't bring yourself to watch it!
Start was horrible but it was an anomaly given the way the rest of the game went. Kicking 25 goals was very pleasing, it was nice to be able to relax in the last quarter even though it was only Carlton. They will need to play a lot better next week to beat even an out-of-form West Coast, though.Comment

I thought Fosdike was very good, particularly early when it mattered, and it was probably J Bolton's best game for the year. Ablett was just ordinary.
Hall is just about in career-worst form.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.
