      Yep. It's about time we adjusted to a more balanced mix between offensive and defensive. We have been too negative this year - like 2004!

        Hve just heard the result on radio after getting home from Hockey(defeat)....woo hoo. The commentators are raving about what a great attacking game it was.

          Good win. A point to make here is that EVERY player had over 10 disposals!

            They have just said something about Ablett. What's happened. Can't be bothered reading through thread.

              Besides a poor third quarter and a lacklustre late part of the first quarter, that was an excellent win. Good to see some attacking football, most particularly in the first half.

              Another great game from Goodes. ROK, MOL and Davis were very good in the forward line.

              Backline looked very steady (although Barry remains a bit of a worry these days).

              If the team can keep its positive approach from today and we can get Kennelly back and Hall regains some form and our forward line structure stops over-emphasising Hall, then we could be a wildcard in finals. Lot of ifs though.

              Hawthorn look vulnerable under pressure.

                Hurt his knee. Looked in a lot of pain, but apparently it's not serious.

                  Good thing Crouch is getting back into form to cover that.

                    All over!!!

                    Sydney 22.9 141
                    Hawthorn 10.9 69

                    A bloody good effort by the Red and White. There was much doubt that the Swans were going to win because of the "tanking" theory, Hall rested and the Hawks hungry for a double chance but it goes to show we're not dead yet and the Hawks look like pretenders. Without Hall, our midfielders kicked to others in the forward line i.e. O'Loughlin, O'Keefe and Davis and they nailed their opportunities. Craig Bolton should be All Australian Centre Half Back, he limited Buddy Franklin's influence in the game.

                    A very good first half of footy but we let our guard down in the 3rd quarter. However, the final quarter dominance erased the 3rd quarter and it'll be interesting what the lineup will be like against the Pies. Hall is almost certain to return in the side next week and I hope the Swans don't revert to their Hall-centric ways. We've played our worst footy against the Pies and that should be taken into consideration. It would be great to see Joffa crying.
                    I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adore

                        Crouch looked slow and unfit to me.

                              Yep. Did some okay defensive work, like last week, but is not giving us a lot we can't get from another player.

                                Does anyone else desperately want to return the favour right back at the Pies next week? I haven't wanted us to win this badly since the GF!
