Official Game Day thread - Semi Final Vs Bulldogs

[hammo]

1/4 Time and 1 point in it, Swans to the good.

I reckon we're looking pretty good. Our defence looks solid and we're mopping up the Dogs long bombs relatively easily (apart from their last goal).

Our midfield is showing signs of getting on top so hopefully that happens this quarter and we can kick away.

absorbing first quarter....2 MSU's from Ablett and Vesz almost cost us but thankfully the dogs only got behinds.

We can't afford to be caught in our backline holding the ball up for 10 seconds and try and find a wide option. One mis kick and were stuffed.

Crouchy, you gotta love his passion for a challenge.

We're looking pretty good but it's pretty even. Only worry is we didn't put as much scoreboard pressure as we would have liked.

If we keep this up I think we'll win. Dogs only need 1 good quarter though as we know.

Kennelly looking good.... Seems to have found his run....

BBBH carrying on from last week... Winning one on one....

Jolly and Spida should smash up Hudson and Minson......

Eski still barely sighted.....

Crouch going OK....

Bucky looks the goods tonigh... McVeigh working his way into it....

LRT has been pretty good in defence... And dare I say it, Ablett getting his hands on it AND disposing of it well....

Goodesy looks like he's ready to break the shackles and turn in a blinder... But will he get from 2nd to third and fourth gear??? Might be the winner we need to stand up.....

Solid Qtr from the Swans with Hall continuing on from last week.

Let's hope the 2nd Qtr doesn't follow the script of the last 2 games.

We really need to convert our set shots, we should be further in front

Vez looking very nervous....... No awareness and a stupid free given away... If he calms down he'll be much better off...

Bulldogs in front. Johnson's started to lift for the Bulldogs and they've upped their intensity big time.

Interchange free kick to Swans. Ha. Grr to Tadgh,

Interchange issue. Taken off bulldogs. 35 out for swans.

Kennelly hits the post...

[swanage]

Wow big call.

Dogs with a shot on goal from about 30. Interchange free kick to Syd but Kennealy hits the post.

2nd free of the night to Hall. Must be a record. Pots it from right in front.

24-22 Syd.
