Mathews is doing his job I suppose.

He's had a super pre-season, being able to keep up with Damon White.

Well done to the Swans, winning by my favourite margin of 69 points.

How bad? I hope it's not an ACL.

He was coming down after taking a mark and seen to extend his knee. the turf looked to give a bit. Did not look good. Goodes looks like he has bulked up a bit but still fast. BOG.

[AnnieH]

Well, well.
It's good to see live footy again, although at $7.40 a scotch ....

Goodsey ... will get the brownlow again.
Ablett ... still kicking it to me.
Jude Bolton ... dyed his hair brown, but still can't kick to save himself.
Blind Barry ... took a great mark - four on one. Bazza could be back to his old self.
McVeigh ... surprised me.
Tricky Nicky ... did he play?
Micky O ... expect big things.

The youngin's did really good.

[stellation]

Well, well.
Tricky Nicky ... did he play?

Are you serious?

[AnnieH]

Are you serious?

That's a record Stella ... it took one minute for you to bite!!

Davo could have done more. The ressies did more work than he did.

I realise it's only a practice match, but he's a senior player - I expected more.

Goodsey was on fire. That's the main thing.

[stellation]

The mark you were happy about Hall taking, was that in the second quarter?

[AnnieH]

The mark you were happy about Hall taking, was that in the second quarter?

Yes. He had four in front of him ... he kept backing away from the pack and the ball landed bang on his chest.

But after that it got dark, so they had to take him off to rest his eyes.

That's too bad about Kristin Thornton. I hope it's not true, he has showed a lot of promise this pre-season.

Great news about Goodesy, could he win his 3rd Brownlow Medal this year?

[alison.z]

Sorry, took a specy, he has got the game to be playing Round 1. Interesting to see what the Swans do with him though...(ie. the usual hold them back strategy)

he'll have to be elevated from the rookie list first though - but there would be a spot opening up with malceski's knee and possibly thornton's too

Do you know who kicked it to him and hit him on the chest?

[sharp9]

Bird's on the senior list

How did Cheese Barlow go? Hope it was better than last week.

He was okay... he looks like he has that extra second or two when he gets the ball but his skills weren't super crisp. The effort was better this week than last.
