Round 5 vs hawthorn gameday thread

[GongSwan]

Should make the front page of the Tele tomorrow, well, at least the back page, go the Tigers

[Big Al]

Awesome game from an awesome team.

Never been a fan of Bird, but that has now officially changed. What a game by him!

JPK is a legend. Hope he wins a Charlie.

Jude and ROK were all heart for Goodsey.

Ted could possibly be my favourite Swan of all time.

Am on top of the world

Yep to all and....

WOW

[Jewels]

I'm with you, we'll get it together and run them over. (reaches for the valium)

You are such a clever and insightful person Gong!

[Swansinger]

The Swans don't come from behind...well not often & never as well...this is one of my great days watching this lot in 60 years.

Sixty years ? It is people like YOU , Sir , who are costing the country a fortune in heart attack AND grey hair medications.

[Wardy]

How fantastic JPK getting best on ground - again!!!! Goodsie take a bow this one was for you! 37 point win for number 37.

[Mel]

AWESOME! I've been enjoying the Swans this year more than I have in a while, but today's game was BRILLIANT! Like Liz, I was given them a one-person standing ovation in my loungeroom. What a brilliant second half. I'm loving being a Swans fan at the moment

[India'sDad]

And still with no dominance in the forward line. I'm hoping it's just a question of time before Reid gets the radar right... Maybe the problem is Dew and Maxfield are both left footers and therefore unable to pass their wisdom on.

Oh and fantastic result. Getting the feeling I may need to sabotage the overseas holiday planned for September - I don't want to choose - GF or Divorce...

Still wont change my mid re Johno amd Everitt, at thias stage not in our best 22. AJ too slow under pressure acts a bit like LRT when he started. Everitt is just everitt. does anyone know what happened to Mal no mention on TV surely he wasnt just subbed off could have should have taken others off thought he was playing OK or was it an injury.

I'm very pleased with my decision not to speak on here during matches..Too easy to jump to early conclusions, and finish with egg....

[GongSwan]

You are such a clever and insightful person Gong!

Well I'm actually from Sydney, not born down here in the land of the great white inbred. Special mention to Seaby, who didn't get much help in the ruck, but went all day

[bodgie]

A game of 2 halves. That second half was great fun to watch.

[Margie]

Craig Bird is such a good reader of the play. He and Smith are cool under pressure. Loved their games.

That was an amazing win. Kennedy is a star, ROK played his heart out and kept us in the first half. Jude never says die.

I disagree that Jack didn't play well, he had another cracker. Parker will be a superstar, as will Hanneberry and Jetta. Reid will get better and better.

So happy for Adam Goodes. What a player, what a second half! This win was a bonus in some ways - I'd like to see how many "experts" tipped us today. They will be taking notice from now on.

The defence stood up so well against big bodies. An all round fantastic team effort. Like last week, they just had that never-say-die attitude. Respect to them all!

We are a chance if (in order) Goodes, Mumford, Kennedy, Richards, Reid etc etc stay fit. We need our best 20/22 fit. BTW I forgot to mention Bird before - he has made me eat my words - he is so persistent and pretty skillful as well!

Birdy was sooo good wasn't he! I have always known it was there as he is very clever but he took it to a complete new level today. I think we have depth and with the Spang coming back and Bullie playing so well as well as Morton and TDL we are pretty strong!

Everitt was great again today - especially in the second half when moved through the midfield. And Johnson not in our 22? Who the hell are you going to replace him with??

No one tipped us for today! I was hopeful but not confident. Buddy ran riot the last time we played, but was well contained. His hands seemed slippery. AJ had a few mistakes but overall defence was amazing in the second half especially. Good contribution from across the board
