      The thing I liked the most about him is that he seems to be very quick over all distances. We were at the game and he was able to cut off leads and still double back in time to cover his own man a number of times when Richmond was tring to bring the ball up the wing. He also looks to have a great leap and was able to throw guys around a bit out there. That kick was awful, but I'd love to see him get another run.
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

          I think I was sitting next to Brennan's family. Heh not 100% sure but everytime he got the ball they got very excited

          Excluding the goal kicks, the handball to BBBH and also the huge punt he did to get us into the forward line in the first quarter (which was his first kick) was a great.

            i heard the hyphenator had a bit of a biffo in the ressies match.
            it looked good seeing ablett sitting with the ressies in the brewongle stand.
            poor tiges. i kinda feel sorry for them.

              Had a good chuckle at Brennan's kick. I told the person next to me he is a good chance of missing it. I think the fact Davis was screaming his head off in the goalsquare put him off. Showed a bit but I think the possible returnees next week will see him out of the side.

                Hey i want some of that credit too!!!! I told ya Brennan was one of the worst kicks i have ever seen.

                Anyways, decent enough win from us. Good to see Baz back however Tadhg looked really uncomfortable out there tonight. That knee is really troubling him.

                I thought Bevan was @@@@e in the first half but really improved in the 2nd as he was more involved in the midfield and forward. Still don't think he should be in the 22 but.

                Onwards to Manuka.

                  I thought Reg was okay, certainly better than last week. I think he dropped a few marks that he should have taken. Certainly better than Teddy, who had another shocker.

                  Didn't like the Bevan-Nathan G. matchup from the beginning as Bevan isn't agile enough and is often prone to panic attacks when the ball is coming in.

                    to be honest, i think all the swannies were a bit shocking tonight.
                    we should have won by a lot more.
                    there were an awful lot of dropped marks, fumbled handballs, silly frees, misguided kicks.
                    the tiggers tried their guts out. had they been a little more accurate at the goals ....????

                    i'm about to watch the game again. see if the tv version was any better. i could change my mind.

                        he wasn't sitting with the ressies for the seniors game ... he usually does.
                        can you be sent to tribunal from the ressies??

                          I haven't seen the game, but I listened to it on ABC radio. They said exactly thr opposite. They reckon Tadhg looked really good tonight and that the knee didn't appear to be troubling him at all.

                            Yeah...every competition has a tribunal, even the ACTAFL.

                              I didn't see the LRT incident as I was concentrating on Rowe's stoush. I reckon he copped a few to the chin from his man but after the final siren they were laughing about it.

                                Methinks he's frustrated that he can't get a spot in the regular side.
