R20, AFL 2010 Dockers V Swans: Gameday & Autopsy

[Ratna]

Lot of talk about Hanners but IMHO Keiran Jack was the driving force in the midfield (not meaning to understate Hanners game). His 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. efforts were very very good.

Our ruckwork was also great and may have been a different game had Sandilands been there. Mummy was great and he probably is the recruit of the season (love to see players that almost will the team to a win in tight games) but there's a fellow named McGlynn who can't be far behind, if report of fracture is true I hope he has a good recovery and resumes where he left off next year. Unfortunate way to end a great season.

FINALS here we come.

Loved reading the last quarter posts.

Massive win - almost makes up for the Richmond debacle.

Home final still looks remote though. Carlton really racked up the percentage today.

I don't think he was to work on his kicking, so much as he has to work on his concentration. He sometimes loses focus with the ball, thinking too far ahead perhaps? In any case, when he does, he leans back a bit, his technique breaks down and he just kind of pats at the ball instead of kicking through it, and off it goes to the side or short.

That's what I said; he needs to work on his kicking.

I thought the commentary was about as good as you will ever get for a game in the west. In fact, I thought it was pretty balanced and they didn't appear to be barracking for either side.

Agreed. They get a bit excited but I thought it was OK. Pickering needs to get Grundy and Mattner sorted in his mind. Kept calling Mattner instead of Grundy.

Assuming Smith is ready to come back next week, one of Bevan or Shaw is likely to make way.

You would hardly know that Shaw had played, he was so quite. Be interesting to see who may be dropped. Especially if LRT and Bradshaw come back too.

Without wanting to put the boot into Bevo, Walters did little during the time Mattner was on him, and then his cameo in the second half came when Bevo was back on him.

Roos said Shaw did a top job on Hill so it won't be him.

You'd hardly know Hill was playing either - which is what Shaw spent most of the game trying to achieve.

[neilfws]

how many times did they get players confused as well!

Absolute classic this week: one of them claimed that O'Keefe, Jack, Hannebery and Bevan are "hard to tell apart." What, because they all have fair hair?

Thank you Liz. Shaw was superb and he popped up with some very crucial spoils when needed.
Haven't won a close one like that for a while. Proud of the boys.
McGlynn's cheek doesn't sound great which is so disappointing. He is one fiesty tough bugger.
Keiran Jack - legend.
Hanners got his hands on everything but needs more help from the senior guys like ROK. Very glad to see he took that mark.
I was so proud of Jesse - he was super in that final few minutes. Everything that FF should be.
Anyone notice Roosy with a few tears?
I love the red and white!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shaw did the job on Stephen Hill today. Bevo's the most likely to make way for Smith.

For biaised commentary, Luffie and Seymour did a pretty good job on MMM.

I wish I had listened to MMM, I was listening to the second half on 702ABC on my drive back to Sydney when with about 6 or 7 minutes to go in the 4th they decided to cross to a nil all game between two Qld NRL teams. First road rage incident I've had since I was on my Ps.

Just got home from the game..........what a great win it was great being behind the goals chanting and waving a flag spurring the team on to a victory to remember......... well done boys!

Mc Glynn went to hospital with a suspected fractured skull.........hope it isn't and he's OK...anyone know any more!

O'Keefe and Hannebery are very difficult to tell apart IMO. Both have the same hair colour, skin tone, both left footers and both have single digit numbers on their guernseys.
