Round 5 vs hawthorn gameday thread

[gossipcom]

I was throwing things in that first half. But whatever Longmire said to them at half-time along with Smith coming on as the sub worked its magic.

So good watching a confident Birdy.

Fingers crossed we can knock off one of our monkeys (Adelaide) next week!

Yes Jude and ROK were great as were all the experienced players in the second half. ROK whole game! Our young mids and that includes Joey are just tops and having the old master in the clinches with them in the last half was just wonderful (Jude that is). Even if Benny and LRT are injured I am sure we can cover them. I thought it may have been a bit soon to bring someone back who had a fractured cheekbone. Bloody stupid of the medical staff! Great team effort especially in the second half What is really disturbing for the Hawks is they only scored 15 points in the last half! Our pressure was sublime!

I will say that although Longmire got outcoached in the first half he managed to regroup and outcoach Clarkson in the second. Some really good moves in the third quarter. Grundy as sweeper 29 posies, Drew to the back flank, Smithy on to break them up. Double team both talls and sweep back to collect loose ball. So good! The mids and forwards really worked hard defensively too and Seabs was so good! On Seaby I have to say that his effort rucking on his own virtually in the last was superb!

Exhausted. Still shaking. If I hadn't seen it as it happened I wouldn't believe it.

Crying now. I love our Swannies.

37

Best number in the competition!!!!! Win by it, winner in it. Legend of a number.

AND am I the only one who thought she saw Nic Davis in runners gear (yearh I know) sitting on the bench with phone to ear!!!! Nearly fell out of my chair, fellow watcher said he was too!!!! Am going back to replay (like NOW) to watch, around about just before end of half time (I think).

Will Roos be gloating on the couch? Will Dunstall suck an egg? these and other important questions..........

Wow. Richmond stretching the Eagles. A ladder position opening up...?

[31 hard at it]

Any news on LRT - Must have taken a knock on the cheekbone as he did not look well in the rooms after half time. Will probably need a couple of weeks to let it recover properley.

Outstanding effort being down a key tall given the Hawks dominance in the first half.

The midfield won us the game by stopping delivery to the Hawks forwards. .... Outstanding

[31 hard at it]

Will Roos be gloating on the couch? Will Dunstall suck an egg? these and other important questions..........

Roos and the Kiss of death ... The only correct tipsters !

Roos and the Kiss of death ... The only correct tipsters !

Leigh Colbert tipped us b4 the game, Bill Brownless on the footy show too. I expect LRT might miss a few games, but against the big bodied Crows Jesse might be a better choice anyway. Hope Eski is ok

Watched the game today at the Rye hotel and the place went off. Any Swans supporters on the Peninsula next Saturday night get down there and enjoy the atmosphere. "A touch of class is the man Kennedy"
