    Pretty ordinary act, but it's the kind of stuff you'd expect from him.
    I think he was just throwing back an elbow, I don't think he really took aim.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

      I thought the positives today were:
      1) Shaws tagging role on Harvey was excellent, and even his field kicking was good today.
      2) Alex Johnson continues to impress me, yet another solid game showed good decision making and aggression at the contest. Looks an outstanding prospect.
      3) Parker finally given a run and showed plenty. 13 odd touches in 3 quarters.
      4) MGlynn is an extremely consistent performer, just love the way he goes about it.
      5) Finally playing a sub who's got something to add with his pace, and a willingness to take the game on...which a first gamer will rarely have.
      6) Kennelly played his best game for some time, looked like the tige of old.

        We had 4 hit outs to advantage for the game, which is why Pyke plays ahead of Seaby. Hurry back Mike.

          Agreed Pyke is never gonna be as good as the top line ruck man of the competition but continue to give him games and he will become a very valuable player.

            We must beat the Lions and Tigers.
            I believe that if Jack had not gone down on that Royal Wedding night, it wouldn't have been a case of something Blue. With Kieron back I give the Swans about $2.85 to beat Carlton.

            On the other hand, with Collingwood, Sydney has as much chance of winning that game as the Suns have to win the 2011 Flag.

            Totally agree that the next two games against the Lions and the Tigers are vital. Interestingly, Richmond when they come on the paddock at the SCG will be coming off their very first bye for the season..

              Don't get me wrong, Goodes is a superstar player. I beleive the worst aspect of his game is that he is a whinger. It's something that has bothered me a little in the past, but since he has become a captain it bothers me much more. He is constantly looking for free kicks with arms up and a sooky face. I think a good captain (and player for that matter) plays the game without counting on the umpires to get it right. You just have to go as hard as you can, and if you get a free, great. If not, then just get on with it.

              I truly believe the umps would be more inclined to give him a free if he just stopped trying to tell them when he deserves one. it's not a good look for a captain and shows the opposition that you are frustrated.
              I agree, it's embarrassing.

                Agree with this, his preoccupation with umpiring decisions is happening way too often to the point of being cringworthy. He's got rise above it. Between him and McVeigh the on field body language is not nearly good enough from our 2 leaders.

                  I admit I'm a pretty bigoted Mike supporter but I rate him, strictly as a ruckman, as in the next best batch after Sandilands, along with Cox and Jamar. And around the ground he just keeps getting better. I really want to see him back asap.
                  He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                    Whatever happened to the Seaby that was so on fire before he did his foot last year? He could ruck, mark and kick with the best of them, so it IS possible with him. I just want him back

                      Seaby was absolutely stuffed after 3/4 time. Just goes to show how much pressure was on Mummy.

                        How about work around the ground. Seaby is a hell of a lot better than Pyke in every area.

                        It was Seaby's first game of senior footy for over 12 months, cut him some slack. Will be better for the run and once he gets back to full fitness he is a very valuable player. Remember round 2 last year against Adelaide? Seaby dominated the game. Pyke isn't capable of that sort of performance.

                            Seaby hasn't dominated in the reserves games I've seen. Pyke has been the better performed ruckman both with tap work and around the ground than Seaby this year.

                              Which is why he gets picked ahead of Seaby. However if Pyke is fit i'd like to see them both play against the lions

                                Me too. Our P/T ruckman approach isn't working very well.
