Agree. Its really hard to know how any Swans supporter could be disappointed with last nights win.Comment

He can come back on and immediately resume keeping Judd quiet & accountable. It'll be like he's had a 5-week half-time break.To all those people who waited 72 years to see a South Melbourne/Sydney Swans premiership HERE IT IS!!Comment

Although I believe we should play 2 ruckman, I don't believe we will.
Just because it worked against Footscray and it will stop us burning the Mummy out again, I am pretty sure the Swans will adhere to the "replacement rule killed the second ruckman" school of rehashed banality.
So unless the Mummy gets another week off, I'll see you at 10.30 Mr Seaby.Comment

Out: BRISWAN
In: Footyhead
Its a like-for-like swap, but I'd like to see Footyhead get a run next week just so that we can compare the two.
It was the same with Seaby and Pyke - until I'd seen both of them play this year, it was hard to be sure that Pyke had caught Seaby (although Seabs is probably still working back to the form he showed last year). We haven't seen Footyhead for what feels like years - give him a crack !Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.Comment

I call bull@@@@ on that.
I don't have the stats and I'll let somebody with more time on their hands to get them if they please, but from my observation over many years is, when sides put on a clinic and lead by 10 goals or more at halftime, they frequently either lose or barely win the second half. Seen it many many times before with good sides and bad.
It's just the nature of the beast that the intensity drops away a little after the break. The big blowouts nearly always come when sides take control in the 3rd quarter and blow them away with 10+ goal last quarters where sides being obliterated don't have the luxury of rejigging and regrouping at halftime...
Also, Pyke anyone? A week ago he was listed on the Swans website as one week away, so if my calculations are correct...
In: Mumford, Pyke
Out: Seaby, Everitt.Comment

BRISWAN, how old are you? My father is in his mid 70's. Therefore, I forgive him for being the bitter and grumpy old fart that he is.
He was carrying on about how poorly we played on Saturday night and that we should have beaten them by more. So, I asked him whether a 30 goal win would've been sufficient. He told me it would depend on how many errors we made. Suffice to say I got a bit angry at the old bugger.
Now BRISWAN, you should focus on the many positives that came out of the game otherwise you will end up a bitter and twisted old man, like my father.Comment

Longmire hopeful of stars' return
Longmire revealed Jack may have to spend a week in the reserves before rejoining the side.Comment
-
And while it's yet to happen this season, Longmire said he had no qualms about playing tall timber Mumford, Mark Seaby and Lewis Roberts-Thomson in the same side.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)Comment

If Jack needs some match fitness, wouldn't it make more sense for him to run around 4 quarters in the reserves rather than a quarter in the seniors. I know the intensity is much lower in the magoos, but surely not by that much!Comment
