Richards goals. I'm glad he's kicking goals as well. 59 points now.

Super Teddles can do anything.

I just watched the first half (and listening to the radio at the same time - very confusing). Just an average performance.

Fortunately we had that 10 minute burst at the end of the third qtr, so we have a chance of a big percentage booster after it didn't look like it earlier. Seemed like the guys got into gear half-way through the third qtr and have dominated since then.

We are currently equal to the second-lowest score against Essendon this year - good chance to improve that a couple of spots before the end of the game though. Essendon have their second-lowest score of the year against us now. Should be a very pleasing final score.

Playfair takes a VERY strong mark and kicks a VERY nice goal from 50.

Hmm. I'll remain optimistic on him. When he starts doing it when the pressure is on, THEN I'll believe he deserves his spot.

65 points now.

Another one to Playfair.

Playfair looks like a good pick up. He's kicking for goal is average, but he provides a contest which is crucial without Hally. I'm pretty confident, he'll be a good player for us.

Umpire gets destroyed and screams like a girl.

MICKY OOOOOOO. Takes a strong mark on the lead and slots the goal. 6 goals for Micky, and takes the swans to a 71 point lead.

Should take off MOL before he gets injured as he sounds very tired.

Moore finishes off his fantastic game with a long goal after an excellent contested mark. He's gonna be a star.

78 points.

It's amazing how accurate we are when the pressure is off.

Biiirdy!

Bird's off dude, he stuffed his elbow and they're being cautious.

[NMWBloods]

We currently have the fourth-best % in the comp - very timely!

[Mogg0]

A combination of Moore, Playfair and Jolly results in a mark inside the goal square and a simple goal.

85 points.

We'll be 5th after this game.

Some brilliant groundwork from Kirky resulted in a free kick. Quick handpass to a rampaging Goodes, who kicks it long to a contest about 25 out from Swans goal. Ball spills to the ground, Kieran Jack cleans up and snaps a beauty.

91 points.

We'll be 5th after this game.

Yes - still a fair way back from 4th (1.5 wins).
