50 metre penalty to Meredith after Chapman steps over mark. Goal from out in front. Swans by 2 points

First Q1 loss for Cats for a year!

I hope Big Al and Triple B are enjoying these updates.

Word from Ainslie is that they've swapped clothes to confuse their female fans. What Retirement Village did you say the girls were from?

Qtr time. Swans still by 2 points.

McGlynn has been busy. How good was that Rohan goal?!

**annew** · 27 August 2011, 02:43 PM

I'll take a 2 point lead at quarter time at skilled stadium any day of the week. Now let's break their run for th biggest upset of the year!

Big difference in skill level between the teams but great to see the effort the Swans players are putting in.

3.1 to 2.5 at quarter time. A bit lucky - Geelong conversion like ours last week, and a technical 50m penalty to Meredith.

Great to see Rohan and Parker backing themselves.

I'm not with Al, I'm comfortably seated in the lounge chair watching on TV.

Seems to be a pattern now that the Cats easily clearing the ball out of their defensive 50 and getting down to have a shot at the Swans goals.

Only poor kicking and fumbles have stopped at least 4 goals at this stage. You'd think the Swans can't hold out that attack for too long if that pattern continues.

As I write Tomahawk holds Grundy off and behind.

Our kicking into their 50 is shocking I think once to a Sydney advantage, we could be 3 goals up.

Go you good thing Jesse!

Jesse shows a bit of Tarzan and a great goal.

Great work by Jesse for his goal, then another for Reid! Commentators and crowd can't quite believe it.
