    Free kicks has drastically swung Melbourne's way. 13 - 10 at half time their way! Knew it wouldn't last long being ahead of the free kick count.

      Half-Time

      Sydney 10.5 65
      Melbourne 5.3 33

      Won the quarter by only 2 points after a couple of turnovers resulted in goals to the Dees. However, the Swans have controlled the ball most of the time with the backline working hard to fend off Melbourne attack. Hall should have at least 6 goals instead of 4.3 and kicking for goals needs to be improved if we want a blowout as a result.

          Henry is doing really well. Presenting, strong mark, should have been paid at the tip of the square and taking a tall off Barry. Still wouldn't like to be in his Adidas when Barry explains the intricacies of MOVING THE @@@@@@@ BALL ON QUICKLY in the sheds.

            The difference between a top side like Geelong and us at the moment is the ability is to maintain top skill level and focus and thump an opposition like the Cats did to WC last night.

            We are just in basic cruise control after the first 10 minutes and our skills have dropped as our intensity has too.

            We need to go on and win these types of games by 15 goals.

            Come on lads!

              No disposals for Malceski in the 2nd quarter it seems...

                That, or the fact that West Coast are tanking big time. Whereas, Melbourne are having a go!

                  Didn't look like they were tanking last week...

                    You would have to disagree, would you!

                      I'm confident we'll have a 50 point quarter in either the third or fourth, and runaway 12 goals winners.

                      Just frustrating our intensity dropped a bit in that quarter. Expect a big finish to honour Jude's 200th...

                        gping too easy

                        Dont the Swans know how to go for the kill. Theu looked lazy in that 2nd qrt. Just happy to be 5 goals in front. They should be 10 in least. Like most times once they get a good lead they take the foot off the pedal.

                          I agree.

                            We need to keep the foot on the pedal to put some fear into Collingwood for the next game.

                            5 goals is not enough.

                                Not a good start there!
