    I agree. However, I think that can be overcome to some degree during an off-season of setting up a forward line structure if Hall doesn't play next year.

      Quality is very poor, not as good as usual
      I noticed that this was working for the Fremantle Carlton game last night but is now not working for One Day at a time although it is scheduled. It gives the message that this is for overseas people only.

Imagine if we had lost good sport?
          Bevan gave up 3 goals with terrible play. There is no sugar coating that. Yes he may have been defensively good and I for one will never question his commitment but he gives up too many goals through errors that a Senior footballer should not make.

                It seemed to me that no one up forward knew what they were doing so EVERYONE was going up for the ball, spoiling each other, no one was crumbing. It was Auskick.
                It was crazy congo. At least with Baz up there he would have yelled at everyone to get out of the way.
                I'm still surprised we kicked a winning score. Thank god for Shaw and The Birdman.

                  Our forward line is 1 dimensional and predictable with Barry there. Everyone kicks to him even when he is triple teamed and we get found out against the good teams.

                  I think we need to restructure the forward line around mulitple focal points and don't think the loss of Hall will be the disaster that everyone thinks.

                  People have mentioned the long bombs against the kangas. Hall wouldn't have been able to mark them anyway as he is a lead up forward. When was the last time he took a big pack mark?

                  The long bombs probably would have got him frustrated and he would have tonked someone!!!

                    It should be noted that the junior umpire was the one blindly giving frees to the wrong team (us) and he was puzzlingly wrong about four times! The fourth q was interesting as the bigger boys must have had a word to him. He turned. Still not acceptable.

                      It wouldn't have been bombed in, if he was playing. Look at the games against Port Adelaide and West Coast - our forward structure was good in both of those wins.

                      I reckon it was fine against Adelaide, Hawthorn and Collingwood too, we just weren't good enough in other areas to win any of those games.

                        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.

                            Pratt got a week for his smack on Malceski see here.
                            If anyone saw the replay this was a very very very long shot....
                            Pratt told the hearing he threw back his arm that caught Malceski in the midriff in a bid to shrug off the Swans player so he could regain his feet to take a free kick. "I was trying to get him off me, there was no intention of malice," Pratt said.

                              Yep - he is a fantastic set shot at goal. Eats pressure for breakfast.

                              People who bag Jude have absolutely no idea about footy.

                              Well done to Crouch too, he played a ripper.
