    Why would we? He didn't choose to be traded, he had no option.
    My honest mistake. I only heard the booing once when Schneider was mentioned during the call.

    Glad the yellow maggots get what they deserve every week.

      Got the win tonight and got the job done though. which was pleasing.
      So many sceptics on this forum its not funny, some people have to get a grip and realize that we are a good side and forget about past results and history.

      Went to the Rising Sun and was pretty wrapt with the turn out there tonight,
      Pretty happy with Festivals return tonight and Micky Os form.

      Solid win against very average opposition at best

        My last game for a while, good fun.

        Was a a bit cold (ok, in the 3rd it got bad cold) with a touch of rain even for the 5 mins of the game, made it tough.

        But it was bit like; 'another day at the office', Nothing crazy (but the highlights would be fun!) just getting it done.

        There was a lot of good work off the ground in traffic.

        Thought Bird was great btw.

          The maggots were disgraceful tonight. They missed a lot of our free kicks; and also missed a few the ainters should have got.

          All in all, they played very well - I thought it would be a lot closer. I loved how they managed to kick to someone other than blind Barry.

          Can't wait to belt Melbourne next week.
          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
          Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

            I shudder to say it, and of course Craig is faultless... but... I thought Craig just about got away with murder on Riewoldt tonight and the umpires just let it be.
            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

              A solid win, nothing really close to top gear apart from a 3 goal burst just before the end of Quarter 3.
              Good game from Captain,Moore,Goodes and welcome back BBBH.

                Usually riewoldt gets looked after. I loved it, how he was doing a fev and a richo. Most over rated player ever.

                  I noticed that too. Well, I wouldn't put it THAT strongly. There were probably two or three obvious frees to Riewoldt that weren't paid, and a few 50-50s. All in all, the umpires were pretty @@@@ all night. I'd like to think they went against us, but it was probably about even. At least, that's how it appeared at the game.

                    I thought we clearly got the better run from the umps. Actually probably the best run we've had in years for a game.

                      I thought we got a pretty good run overall. I think we got a slightly better run than we usually do.

                      The count was 18 - 12 in our favour IIRC

                        Agreed, but that does make the recent record vs the Saints 8-1 in their favour.

                        Man, it was cold there last night - it felt like Canberra! Hardly an inspiring game but nice to get the four points. I thought Noggy, after a great last qr last week, backed up again really well and Jack was sensational. All the other usual suspects did their job and luvly to have the Big Bad One back.

                          There's always a first for something, though non-Swans fans would say it's further evidence that the Swans get preferrential treatment from the umps.

                            theres a lot of confidence in our play at the moment, even when stkilda got within a 11 we seemed very composed.

                            we still fiddle around a bit, but are using the ball much better than we have in the past.

                            Good solid effort. Interesting watching that we flood but stkilda push numbers back
                            Theres not much left to say

                              Booing of Schneider seemed to be fairly light hearted, up the Noble Stand end he and Zoolander got a cheer, and a boo. They know we still love em. Thought Lewie was playing with confidence and approved of what he did. McVeigh, how did I ever doubt you, sorry about that. BBB looked like he was enjoying himself. And I kind of take to Lumpy, he looks like he enjoys being a Swan (Henry, I mean).

                              Not the greatest game we have seen, but not all that bad either.

                              Is there something wrong down the Randwick end of the ground? Point, point, point, and not just us. The flag on the derrick was blowing like crazy, but other flag indicators seemed quite benign. Anyone sitting down that end enlighten me?

                                I don't think Bird is really Big, but is was good to have him back.
