Game Thread Swans versus Port

[Triple B]

Yes, I thought Crouch took our small defensive role up a few notches this year with his quick hands in traffic, close man-on-man checking, smart shepherding, ability to time the spoil properly (no airswings), attention to both the ball in flight AND his direct opponent at the same time, and yeah, attacking STRAIGHT line runs out of defence.

Bring on the little slimebag Aker.

So we have been "improved" by a player two years past his prime, injury prone and whose dedicated scragging has been umpired out of the game. If this is some sort of leg pull fair enough .....

Of course it's a leg pull.

It's a backhander at a certain 'quarterback' who polarises this community.

Surprised u missed it.

Just like the leaves from the trees autumn gravity has grabbed hold of parts of me

Just don't fall off the twig. There is another premiership left in us.

Danny Frawley put a big wrap on the kid for his "very smart coralling." He's taken coralling up another notch ot two. Personally never thought much of Crouchies coralling.

I remember that moment,. I could hear Roosy whistling from the sideline.
Bevos one of his best work dogs.

Well, if he works on his 'carolling' as well as his 'coralling', GS14 may soften his stance.

So we have been "improved" by a player two years past his prime, injury prone and whose dedicated scragging has been umpired out of the game. If this is some sort of leg pull fair enough but if you really expect anyone to believe that a small defender who has never taken an overhead mark, at his best struggled to hit downfield targets, is five yards slower than before his injury and is in his superannuation lap improves our backline (against what??) then god help us. Jack will get Acker and that contest should be ackerjack. Over the hill small defenders trying to run out of the lightning quick Bulldogs forward line will be easy Pal for quick dogs. Crouch will be back in the more sedate twos where he can play out the remaining games of a pension contract for great service performed.

Why doesn't it surprise me that your dribble demonstrates you have absolutely no idea?

Perhaps a simple case of not having grown up with the game or played it?

You got that one right. Followed South Melbourne from the inside of a pram, played rules at school and after. And grew up. Not just with the game either.

Then why can't you see that Crouch had a very good game on the weekend? Perhaps trade in your pram for one with perspex walls.

No doubt Crouch had a good game, taking pressure of Bevan who had a good game himself. Allowed him some time up forward which was mentioned much last week on RWO.

Good to have Crouch back. Probably the first time he's been without injury for 2-3 years. Looked great.
