    Nick Davis may indeed be relegated to the ressies again. He was shown for his lack of everything apart from a dead-eye set shot kick. It's not good enough, he can't jump, can't run and didn't have his footing at vital times. One small defensive effort and a single goal was all that was memorable.
    Maybe he should have king hit someone off the ball. Everyone remembers those incidents.

      One instance was early in the game when he was working in a phone box on the boundary and got a beautiful pass to someone in front of goal. Another instance was late in the game when he was running with his hands on the ground and got the ball out to one of us . A couple of his pieces of brillance got us goals that kept us in it.
      Neither he nor Davis had much opportunity

        Yes, and the reason he got the ball was because Davis had been skilful enough to keep the ball alive - rather than force a stoppage. I thought both pieces of play were fairly memorable.

          You are correct.

            Yes - undoubtedly judged against a different benchmark to many other players.

              I was mighty proud of the boys today and the effort and spirit they played with. Just a shame we were blown away in the final 10 minutes.

              As Hammo mentioned earlier, had we taken more opportunities in front of goal we may just have got over the line or at least within a couple of goals.

              Thought just about everyone contributed today. Poor Micky O was always going to struggle on Scarlett. He is most dangerous when he has the 2nd or 3rd best defender. This is probably where Hall's absence has the most influence. He would get the best defender, Micky O 2nd and Davis 3rd, however that all gets upgraded and does not make them as dangerous.

              Jolly was better today, Richards kept Mooney quiet whilst Bird probably had the most disposals so far personally in his first 5 games.

              That loss won't hurt as long as we back up with the same intensity and effort next week against the Roos. Win that and we are firmly back on track. Lose it and we are back in the pack and the "No Hall, no Sydney" chant may get louder.
              Swannies for life!

                I'm quite suprised that people thought him that bad he should be sent back to Canberra. Our midfield was smashed. It happens. Forwards aren't going to get too much decent delivery when the midfield is smashed.
                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

                  Apparently, people will get upset if I include Goodes in that list.

                      1st quarter was pathetic too.

                      Our skills that were fairly poor against WC, but they were worse, showed in that 1st qtr. We clawed our way back in the 2nd by manning up. Held our own in the 3rd. And lost the plot in the 4th.

                      But Geelong are a classy side, whilst a disappointing result, we kept them scoreless for quote a while which not many teams can do. As Des said elsewhere, it was almost an honourable defeat.

                        Yeah, but think of the ressies team. I reckon he ought to fly up to Canberra tomorrow afternoon and back up.

                        Only 12 listed players last week, no-one to come in (except maybe Vez, depending on why he missed last week) and two extra players on the club injury (bad boy) list. Someone's going to have to play a blinder for them to be competitive tomorrow. Why not Davo?

                          IMHO it wasnt honourable at all,we were @@@@ in the 1st and 4th qtr's,plain and simple.

                            They are the best team in the competition ATM by a country mile.
                            We kept within range up till 3/4 time. Then, they did as they do to most teams. and played outstanding footy.
                            No one could stop GAJ, or Wojinski, for that matter. They run hard and support each other.

                              They are also chocka-block with confidence at the moment. Which makes it easier to play on, take risks etc etc.

                                How awesome was Wojak's run and dodge through the centre (and then put it OOTF).
