Rd 6 - Swans v Lions match thread

[satchmopugdog]

Starting to feel anxious....the Lions are coming back

[Mike_B]

Halftime Swans 9.5.59 Lions 5.3.33.

Bradshaw leading the Swans with 4 goals while Brown has 3 for the Lions.

In the second half of that quarter the Lions started to win a greater share of possession getting themselves back into the game while a few half chances that led to goals for the Swnas earlier were only resulting in behinds.

Seaby and Hannebery injury concerns for the Swans while Jude Bolton and perhaps even Shane Mumford will have incidents looked at involving high bumps.

[Foreign Legion]

Mumford will be 100% OK with his clash with Brown - Jude will be 60% OK to play next week.

I reckon Roosy is keeping Jetta on ice for the 2nd half - bit of explosive pace might be handy - he missed another goal that 1/4, must be getting frustrating for him.

Teddy doing OK I reckon. Mumford battling well in the ruck. O'Keefe really stepped up but Goodes still a bit quiet at the moment.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

We should win from here, but it's far from over. Need around 4-5 goals in the 3rd to put them away I feel.

Mumford will be 100% OK with his clash with Brown

Agree it should be ok, but it may at least be looked it.

[Robbo]

What's Hannebery done?

[Foreign Legion]

Yep, Mike it will be looked at - especially when Brown gets flattened. Big bodies clashing and Grundy completing the sandwich. Glad I wasn't Brown.

What's Hannebery done?

Popped his shoulder when landing after taking a mark. Should be back in the second half.

The reason why Brisbane got more of the ball is we started to go short. Fair dinkum sometimes Mattner makes some horrible decisions. Twice he could have run on around on to his left foot but stopped. The second time he did a short kick to Goodes on the lead with a player on his hammer, turnover for a goal. The first time he decided to kick on his right for a quick turnover again. When we kicked 9 on the trot we were kicking long to the forward 20. Why did Moore handball to Kirk who is a far inferior kick. He could have kicked it from there himself. Someone also hand balled to Kennedy who was behind him and running to his wrong foot. All indicative of the last 10 minutes of the quarter. With 2 players short we have to be decisive and make the most of our chances in the second half.

What's Hannebery done?

Hannebery landed awkwardly and disclocated his right shoulder. Popped back in quickly by the Dr. Maybe Tadhg would have got it in even quicker. Hanners will come back on if needed I think.

Goodesy is playing like he has the flu.

[Mike_B]

Just spotted though the halftime report - Swans players coming back out with Hannebery leading the way.

[Swansongster]

Teddy is going well IMHO.

Shaw BOG.

[Mike_B]

Poor mistake from Grundy who lets a mark slip straight through his hands to Brown behind him, he handballs to Fev who runs into an open goal.

Swans 59-39.

[Mike_B]

Fev with a flukey kick off the ground for a goal. Lions with their 5th in a row to get the lead back to 14. Swans 59-45.
