Matchday: Swans vs. Dons (battle for first dibs on the turkey leg at McVeigh xmas)

[Damien]

Roos just suggested in his press conference that Goodes kicking the 'winning' goal might be the spark he has needed form wise. Hope so.

why didnt rohan get to stand in the middle for the song

Kenny was hogging the limelight

[Glenn]

Believe it or not Sydney actually won the free kick count 23-14.

[Primmy]

Highlight for me was LRT giving instructions to other players where to stand.....he has come a looong way. You beauty Lewie, see, you can play!!! I'm thinking Dunks....or maybe I am just overexcited.

Also thinking Round 22, 1996; noise and misting rain with big blowing wind.

the 2 year old was calling "come on" and made it through 85% of the game. We are getting good results with that kid.

[Bas]

Adam playing like Cain and Abel

Are they the brothers at Port?

It was a great game today.

At half-time, Craig Bolton was interviewed on field and he said he was about 3 to 4 weeks away.

Temperature dropped about 5 degrees at the start of the last qtr. Great atmosphere and the Sydney chant used for times when it was required.

Time for Playfair to go and bring in TDL next week. How good will Rohan be? A ten year contract now.

Kenny left standing after the presentation holding the Marn Grook Cup while the boys ran around and thanked the crowd. Crowd was very impressive at just under 30K.

The goals I liked today were the team efforts where the ball was handpassed and not sprayed at the goals. Mattner's was a shocker whereas as Bevan did exactly what you had to do.

Traffic was horrific after the game. But after a WIN, who cares.

[Hartijon]

Probably his finest game. 16 kicks and 20 handpasses.

BOG I thought

[Lucky Knickers]

Combine that with Jude finally now being unconcussed (he was just massive today, that head over the ball free with 2 minutes to go was immensly courageous 1% = nobody else in the AFL has the balls to do that considering his recent head knocks).

Too right. Judey played like someone with a point to prove today. He was tops. Tough and hard all day.

[Doctor]

Pyke to run in two trys, High flying Bombers grounded in mud, Swannies win by 8 pts
.

Nice call on the margin!

[RogueSwan]

...
Rohan's first win in five games!...

But he wasn't in the centre of the circle during the team song????

[aardvark]

Nice call on the margin!

Thanks... and Pykey did me proud too. A good solid performance as a back up ruck and what about that handball....

I can believe it alright - not that I'm going to lose sleep over it but I reckon the Bomber fans have fair reason to feel a bit hard done by.

Inconsistancies both ways, but nice to be on the right end of free kick count after having the fair share of shafting from the OPSM crew.

[aardvark]

Sydney crowd sounded a lot more vocal than usual on the tele, maybe the new unpolite attitude is starting to help

The crowd was terrific today. When the game was on the line in the last qtr it was quite impressive stuff.

First time for awhile I think that maybe we got the better of the 50/50 and considering who the umpires were I thought that was an absolute miracle.
