    Round 1 V St. Kilda - Game Thread

    Bright start to the Swans, 15 - 0 as O'Keefe just kicked a beauty!

    Dull finish unfortunately.

    Some promisining signs though. A.Goodes needs to lift.

        Seems very quiet here.

        Saints have kicked 7 straight. Milne, Schneider not sighted presumably.

          Lost my stream for now. Are we a chance at fighting back? This seems disappointing so far.

            Saints up 9.0 to 7.5 just before halftime. Apart from second half of first qrtr we seem to be at least breaking even. Any other info out there?

              9 straight? FFS, do we always seem to get teams on their most accurate night? I remember a similar game against the Bombers when they kicked 10-11 straight and also the Bulldogs in recent times.

                Yep, a heap of lucky bounces near goals and Peake kicks one out of his @#$%

                I'll spew if we go down by a few points with that accuracy.

                As for Kositschke, High impact, head high contact, intentional, 6 activation points, 4 weeks out! Great to see Eski back into it after that neck snapper

                    I think the Swans are playing well, just having trouble hitting target in the F50. Converslely the Aints get a goal with every F50 entry.
                    I mean what was that helicopter Kennedy put into the middle of two swans and 4 Aints about 35 out. The Aints run it out and Scheider marks about 40 out and get a goal!

                      Earily quiet here. Are they all in the other thread?

                      9 straight. Hard to come to come to terms with. They can't keep that up...

                      Kozi need's to be informed that his lack of regard for people, including himself, cannot be sustained. Need's to be sidelined for a couple of weeks. Especially given he did it to someone who's missed most of a season through injury. It can't be good coming in confidently to your first game for a while and having a 100 odd kilo fella smack you in the head...

                      I'm overtly confident about the second half...

                        I'm sure we said that about the Doggies game where they ended up kicking something ridiculous llike 19.2!

                        I was thinking that, but I imagine if, say, Jesse was doing it (although he probably would get pinged by the maggots anyway) I would be smiling.

                          What a @@@@ty start to the season. Three quarter time and the performance has been just crap.

                          Sydney just looked rusty, sleepy, not in the zone. It hasn't really clicked. Some individual flashes of brilliance but they never linked. Too many new guys in the team? St Kilda our bogey team?

                          How will Roos feel if the Saints beat us again? For all the plaudits people give Roos, Lyon is a better coach. St Kilda looked sharper, more tactical nous too. Wallsy is a knob, but even he could see that having Gilbey unmarked in our forward line is killing us. They showed Roos getting filthy on the players at the break, but Roos needs to look at himself too.

                          Lots of fuumbles. Not enough clean handling.

                          I don't think we are going to come back from here and as usualy, we start the season with a loss.

                          Major disappointment.

                            Yep it's all over from here, no point watching another game or having any hopes for the rest of the season. Right?
