    That's being kind.

    Brennan may be concussed from the early hit, but he is clearly struggling as well.

      Some dodgy umpiring as well, 7 to 1 against in that quarter.
      I think it was 8-1 to them by the end with the one that Brennan got when Bevo went off with the blood rule.

      That Jonathan Brown free kick was just plain ridiculous.

      We need to grind it out to get the win. That and stop handballing to each other when there's 10 opponents around you.

      Very impressed with Cheese's debut so far.

        Not really - it reflects how well Brisbane are defending. Two of those were rushed behinds that were forced by Sydney's forward pressure. Macca and Hall's misses were from low percentage shots and one of Schneider's was an opportunistic snap. Only the second miss to Schneider was one that absolutely should have been scored.

        The problem is more than the Swans weren't able to create more decent scoring opportunities while they were on top in the midfield.

        Great game though, from a "neutral" point of view. Two switched on, hard working teams desperate to win. Just hope we have stronger legs as the game goes on.

          We'll win I think, but it was a dodgy 2nd qtr.

          Umps are actively listening to the crowd but we need to take our chances. ROK would be playing one of the worst games I've seen him play - might have had a few stats but no impact.

          Jolly and Everitt need to take control and feed our midfield - no excuses for these two from here on in this game.

          I reckon it would be worth a punt to leave Everitt at FF for 80% of the second half - would unbalance Brisbane's backline and surely Jolly can hold down the ruck.

          Barlow - impressive. Brennan - not so much, I don't understand why Dempster is sitting in the stands.

            Malceski's disposal has been a bit dodgy, likewise Buchanan. The defence is holding up well though, that was an unlucky free against B2.

            Wonder what is up with ROK - hopefully he and the forward line generally lift their games in the second half. We need a crumber down there!

              Also has anyone figured out wtf the free kick against Bevo was for? Because none of the cameras picked it up. Free kick count is 11-7 in favour of Brisbane (no surprise there after that second quarter)

              Does anyone know what Teddy's highest possession total is? At the moment he's the leading the Swans possessions with Goodes with 15.

                  They said it was holding off the ball. Must have been a very obvious obstruction for them to pay a free kick 80m off the ball in front of goals.

                      Reading lips during the push and shove afterwards, Bevan appeared to call Brennan a "@@@@ing dog" so he may have taken a dive.

                      Tough game. It's going to be tight. Need better forward options.

                            Our goal kicking is disgraceful.
