I think we're seeing how effective O'Keefe can be if he is allowed to be a forward rather than being required to run all over the game.

How many @@@@ing times are we going to see occasions where we should get frees and the umpires ignore them! Even the commentators have noted this on at least three or four occasions.
And WTF is on Cousins!?!?

Maybe if he was getting the ball less we'd hear it less!
Hansen is killing Richards.

Cousins has had about 18 @@@@ing 1 metre handballs.
Love how they ask who else has had so many after missing 15 weeks! Who the @@@@ else has gone into drug rehab during a season? Not as if he has been injured.
Umpiring is as @@@@ over there as usual - umps need earplugs.
They should tire in the second half - but Barry being injured is a worry.
O'Keefe is showing everyone (who doesnt follow the Swans) how good he is.
Bevan - gone - Vogels - will need to improve a lot - Grundy - too slow.
Canberra league - should be left ASAP - does nothing to prep players.

Looks like the HTB decision is back on the umpires' agenda this week.
ROK what a star. Kicking straight as well. Pretty happy at half time although I'm somewhat worried with Leo off that Vogels and Grundy both have to go down back.

Grundy kicks 7 in the reserves last week so he's brought in as a defender this week
He's in all sorts down there and has given away 2-3 goals by not being in position.
Goodes can hopefully get more of the ball in the second half when the Eagles tire. If Swans can start getting on top in the midfield more we are a big chance.

I thought he was poor in the first quarter - made a lot of silly errors. But was sensational in the second quarter.

May be a blessing in disguise?

The way that the commentators are continually deifying cousins you'd think he had been 6 months out of the game with cancer rather than the reality which is that he is a drug addict.
Mind you, all that time on ice has really done his game a lot of good though - looks really healthy and fresh. They say that metamphetamines does that to you - takes out all your body fat and leaves you lean and hungry - you can run all day, but eventually you just keel over and die. In between you start acting irrational, doing things like running from booz buses, getting into fights etc.
A couple of the umpiring decisions have been pretty average and as usual, its the ones they don't pay that seem to go against us.
Overall, an enjoyable half of footy and considering we have two of our best of the ground and a third pacing the change rooms with a dud hammy, a magnificent effort from our boys. If we are to win this, we need an even performance from every one of the guys out there. Time for a few favourite whipping boys to shake the monkey off their backs.
He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.
