              Gee I hate those telstra highlights! In fact, I just hate Telstra. The bloody afl websites hosted by telstra are SO SLOW!!!

              Kenelly was awesome tonight - the run off the backline he gives is unreal. I know thats what people always say, but its true and being seated from behind the posts tonight, you really notice it. He just knows where to run, and always beats the first man.

                  Yep, gotta love this team. Thought Bird was terrific for a young kid in the packs, Jude sensational and the Bevonator!!!!! (Speechless)

                      Geez we are a strange team. I taped the match and just watched the last quarter after I got home - the turning point was definitely Pav's miss, I didn't think we looked like it at all in the last quarter but we managed to play properly enough in a 5-minute burst and fortunately that was enough to get the win against Freo. I still can't believe how quickly the game changed!

                      I'm not sure how we'll go against Geelong as on recent form we are not in the same league - I expect they will make us pay more dearly for our mistakes than Freo did at the very least.

                      Goodes was awesome up forward, that's probably one of the few things he hasn't done in his career (kick a bag - previous best 5 goals!!). I left the SCG very happy that he is in our team. Reduced Hall to second fiddle status (yes I did think he got away with one hands in the back when he kicked the winning goal but who cares )

                      Jude's game has already been commented on, he was brilliant particularly in the second half.

                      Vez continued to impress, though Moore's form has definitely tapered off recently.

                      The team seems to be carrying Spida atm, though he did have a few important touches in the second half.

                      It pains me to say this coz I do like NOG, but Ablett is struggling and he was lucky to earn a reprieve when Leo pulled out.

                      Re LRT on Pavlich - yeah, LRT hasn't been great, but Pavlich really didn't hurt us all that much with his possessions...I can only assume LRT's instructions were to take Pavlich further away from goal, coz he really hasn't been giving us a lot otherwise. Great match-saving mark though!!

                      The match more resembled a contest between 2 non-finals teams, and to be honest I think this is about where we're currently at!! We're a bit like Port from last year, seem to be in a rebuilding phase (well, enforced due to injury) yet we still find ourselves 4th for another week. So *maybe* we could give it a shot if/when Leo/MO'L/Eski come back from injury. Otherwise the Swans are quite enigmatic at present. (As are Freo, I might add...they certainly weren't playing this well earlier in the season)

                            Bevan was good, Moore was bad, and Goodes was entertaining. Apart from the final siren, my favourite moment of the night was Crouch almost blowing a gasket over not getting the 2nd 50.

                            Very happy that we came away with the win as I was sitting in the middle of a bunch of Freo supporters.

                              You ain't heard about Destructive & his Bay 7 prowess then do you?

                              He is the out & out champion of mozzing shots on goal with his now famous mantra of "Lolly legs, no nads, you're mother wears steel undies"
