Kangas gameday thread

[Mr Magoo]

Gotta agree with kanga. I thought that without Hall we really lacked a key forward and was really suprised they left white out. The performances of some of the young guys was good and encouraging for the future but the game was really ten v eleven type quality.

Lucky we played North. We were very average at times and missed Hall big-time. Forward structure was non-existent.

Allegedly White kicked 6 goals in the ressies (it could have been 8). Those at the aftermatch were a bit pissed that he wasn't named this week.

Aren't they usually pissed at the aftermatch? A few beers in the sun does that to you.

True. It's the only place you can get another drink after 1/2 way through the last quarter!!

In this case though, they were a bit upset that he wasn't named.

I don't want to burst your bubble, BUT you were playing North at your home ground and we are pretty awful atm!

You were expected to win & if you had loss to my lot the knives would have been out on this board....

Spot on skippy. The decision to play only one ruckman could have been disasterous. Also Hale kicked your boys out of it. He beat Bolton (not allowed to say that) pointless with ten marks and should have kicked three in the first quarter. Poor old Bevo is getting a bollocking and he beat his opponent. Imagine if we had lost good sport?

You're selling your own mob short - they played very well for the first half in particular.

Yes Hale belted Bolton and yes he should have capitalised - but the other side to that was about 4 freak goals from stoppages in the first half. Swings & roundabouts...

Yep. This was the North that pushed the Dogs all the way last week. The same Dogs who are in fantastic form and who then annihilated the reigning premiers this weekend.

I don't think either North or Sydney played even close to fault free footy, and both teams had a number of young, developing players. But it was a highly competitive and entertaining match and not a victory that should be marginalised for the Swans because "they were only playing the Roos".

Exactley Liz, we did push Adelaide and Collingwood and almost pulled of a couple of wins. They're both travelling pretty well at the moment.

[Cant turn right]

From year to year the Swans have a habit of making it a tight contest regardless of where our opposition are at. We played well against the Pies and Crows and we have the Dees coming up and I bet we won't smash them. It's as if the Swans focus on who the opposition is and play accordingly. We rarely get smashed and we also rarely blow other teams out of the water.

Read that Hanneberry could play against essendon after another great performance.

I don't think we missed him on the weekend we might of lost the game if he played.
We become one dimensional in some games.
When he's in the team everything focuses around him.

I thought we won because we had a few more guns in the middle. I don't think our forward line functioned at all well. I reckon we would've won easily if Hall had played.

We missed him everytime the ball was bombed and on almost every occasion the Kangas cleared it. No one to break packs, to run stright up the corridor and no real muscle in the forward line. Barlow did really well at centre half forward and with Big Beamish playing behind him with Vezpremi, Thornton and Magic we have a talented and multi=dimensional forward line. One that we need against the Sainters and Cats. To leave the big bloke out for the next month is madness.

[swansrule100]

Hall is required if only to draw the attention of the defence away from others. We need him more than he needs us probably.

I was surprised not to see grundy have a go at full forward yesterday, but i was actually impressed with his game yesterday.

It was a good win, but then i watched the rest of the saints and cats and saw we are miles off the pace.
