GO THE MIGHTY SWANNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sydney 18.13 121
Carlton 18.11 119

Very, very gutsy 2nd half performance by the Swans to steal it from Carlton and gives us that 6 point buffer!

ROK had his best game in his career racking up 29 disposals (24 kicks, 5 handpasses), 10 marks, 6 tackles and kicking 3 goals, 1 behind and stood up when we needed him to.

Bevan, B1, Jolly, Mattner, McVeigh all had great games. Barry and MOL might be out next week due to injury. Goodes was quiet throughout most of the game, well held by Gibbs but kicked a couple of goals and got himself into the game in the last quarter when it counted.

The midfield must work better and more efficient to avoid another scare like this, the backline was disappointing to allow the Blues to get in front by 5 goals and the forward line worked today with 6 multiple-goal scorers.

Free kicks evened out (22 vs. 26), a greater number of clearances, hitouts, kick-to-handball ratio and inside 50's to the Swans.

Next week against the Crows at the SCG, it should be a win considering the loss of Burton and Porplyzia and they're trailing Port ATM by a couple of goals. We're more than due for a win against the Crows and the youngsters will need to step up if the likes of Barry and MOL are ruled out.

BRING BACK BARRY HALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

couldnt agree more....if we play like that against Adelaide at the SCG we will win by over 10 goals...bring it on!

Paul Roos said on the radio that Goodes is carrying an injury - he did not say what it was. We must bring back Hall now!!

Hall will come in for Mickey O. Brennan for Leo.

I hope Mr Brecht gives the all-clear. I guess the other options are Luke Brennan and Jesse White.

Malceski will come back so Grundy could shift to the forward line.

[HBAsyd]

Hall must be brought into the side....must.

Goodes needs to be used differently. Injury or form doesnt matter he can still be effective, just use him differently perhaps down forward.

he has earnt that

I have a feeling that the selectors will overule the psychologist on Thursday if need be.

[Triple B]

Malceski will come back......

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

That would make a mockery of the whole situation.

That would make a mockery of the whole situation.

If MOL can't play, or even worse ROK can't play as well, I reckon Hall will play.

[satchmopugdog]

Roosy was emotional!

Got out of bed to see the result...nearly fell over when I read this comment....whnever has he done this before? what is going on?

Would help if I had listened to all of the game.
