vs Essendon (Game Thread)

Essendon, surely can't be this bad are they?

Certainly looks like it. Missing a lot of players and a very young team. They are getting smashed this year.

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

I know, I thought it was him, but it was actually Moore. Stupid of me, I know.

Scott Lucas is a massive loss for them, he should have made the All-Australian team, the last two years. Very classy player.

Swannies win by 91 points. The team encircles Malceski following the siren.

Great second half performance. We seemed to wait until the Bombers wilted under the pressure, and then took advantage of their lack of stamina after half-time.

As the commentators said, it was a risky way to play, but the Swannies had done their research.

Kirk and Micky O were brilliant. Everitt, Goodes, Leo, Moore and Playfair were excellent. Both Bolton's were very quiet, and Bucky didn't come into it until the second half. Bevan was outstanding in contests, but he had little attacking play. Not really a worry today, and he did his job.

In the end, a great win by the Swans, especially considering that we were treading water for 2 quarters of footy. Only downside is that Kennelly looks set for a long spell on the sidelines.

Honestly, when WAS the last time we had Kennelly and Malceski fit in the same game? Very frustrating.

Overall, great win, and let's hope that conversion in the second half can be maintained against Port next week.

I hope my updating wasn't too annoying. :P

Nothing wrong with your updates, but you could post the scores for those who cannot watch the game mate.

Looked/sounded like good games from MOL, Kirk, Goodes, and Moore. Playfair seemed to do pretty well, although it's still a shame about his kicking. Same with ROK. Jolly seemed to play pretty well, despite some terrible mistakes.

Why not just look at the AFL site - that's what I did.

For some people, the AFL site does not work. You know, how @@@@ the site really is at times.

The Age and the HSun have live score updates too.

And people from NSW would know that?

You're in Victoria!

The SMH has the same footy site as The Age and the Daily Tele the same as the HSun!

Most people have enough nous to find it themselves. Many radio broadcasters stream over the internet as well.

We were missing Kennelly and Hall, though. Not to mention Malceski is hardly going to be at his best after just returning from a knee injury.
