    Another example of us not making the most of our midfield dominance. We were completely on top that quarter for a three point lead. I predict at some stage the dominance will wane and they will kick four to five straight. And it would be the fifth or sixth time this season. We must make our forward fifty entries count at some stage.

      Robbed of certain goal by umps not paying free to Reid.....sigh...nothing ever changes does it? How many short kicks are we going to miss or almost miss forcing the player to go to ground in order to mark. Shaw dreadful disposal as always. Nope, nothing ever changes. :-0

        Our disposal is absolutely woeful. Shaw turned the ball over 4 times in that quarter by kicking it to noone- he is getting plenty of ball as well which makes it even more annoying. Our skills suck, otherwise we'd be a handful of goals up already.

          Bloody hell, if Rhyce Shaw had 100% efficiency he would be on 100 Dream Team points now - he has turned it over by hand and foot every time. Still, at least he is getting it I suppose- he would be BOG if he could kick.

          Sam Reid - jeez he is gonna kick 10 one day - hopefully for us - the kick into the mark is inexcusable.

          Goodesy looking as if he is gonna have a big one. Mumford strangely subdued in my opinion. O'Keefe pretty good so far.

          Edit: Grundy must go to Hall now!

            kennelly & Shaw can both go back to the Resies & learn how to kick, handball & generally pinpoint a Swans player. Shaw hasn't hit one yet & Tadhg only dribbles a h/ball to the ground in front of a marked player. Shaw has had plenty & given it up evey time

              Bird gets the ball just back of centre and goes sideways to Smith and we go via the boundary again for zilch.

                It is simply depressing watching this team at the moment. God only knows how they feel playing. We give it such a crack they just can't turn their dominance into a four to six goal lead.

                  What was that kick from mcveigh. Just a lob up and then a series of missed kicks. How did Richards miss hanners by fifteen metres ?

                    We are so poor in our skills at the moment. I seriously reckon we might be the least skilled- hardest sure but skills are just awful

                      I don't normally praise him much, but great guts Bird! Led to McVeigh's goal.

                        Ground hog day - totally dominant everywhere except where it counts on the score board.

                        And since we know we can't maintain it for four quarters, we are ripe to be be picked off again.

                        Nice goal to McVeigh - come on boys, time to bury em!!!!

                        The dogs do look almost disinterested though. Hopefully they can maintain that for four quarters ...

                            I do think the umpires are aware that they want to leave the scg alive this week.

                              No coincidence we're doing nicely in the dry!

                              Coming together now - even rhyce hitting a target! Ok, it was an unmarked man 15.2m away, but we'll take it!

                                The second & third efforts of young Lukie are just sensational
