Round 5 vs hawthorn gameday thread

[Foreign Legion]

Fantastic effort by the Swans!

Every player on the ground contributed big time in the second half. I really loved Mattner and Richards' last half - they were instrumental in repelling the attacks. Seaby was pretty good too in the second half - he got a lot of hit outs but started to actually get the ball. Probably pretty tough for him as he has been playing in the NEAFL for damn near 18 months.

Parker is a champ and Hannebery is a true blood.

GOODESY!!!!!

[Swans500]

Certainly that way right now!....

So, guys, are the Swannies a genuine premiership contender?

I smell 2005/2006 with the Swans and Eagles leading the way.

Thoughts?

Swans=pretenders....

You need a new dictionary Swans = CONtenders!

Team effort. Seaby was good today and complemented the mids. Everett did okay - nice to see him getting better at the game. Trust LRT and McGlynn are okay. We need to go into the Adelaide game strong, proud, fit and competitive.

Swans by 37 - all planned to celebrate player wearing number 37 breaking the Swans games record!

Shame we couldn't win by 304 points instead!

WOW, just WOW. I gave us no chance at quarter time and was really hoping for a credible loss. That has to be the best performance since, well, beating Geelong at Skilled last year. Actually, I think it is better. I stood and gave them a standing ovation in my lounge room after that, naff though that might sound.

I see JPK managed to add to his medal collection again. Brilliant second half from him and well deserved.

[Captain]

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

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!

[ScottH]

Not sure our chances are best if that's the kind of game it turns out to be. The Hawks have the best footskills in the competition and we, well, don't!

No and we showed that today.
But our handskills were pretty awesome!!

[Swans500]

YES YES YES I DO......

[bloodsbigot]

Come on Tigers! Keep us on top.

[grarmy]

Negative: we still only played 3 quarters.
Positive: how @@@@ing good were the last 2 quarters!!!!!!!

Easy, Scott. Hawthorn played well, as expected. Roughhead kicked five goals to half time. The Hawks have to be respected. That said, it make the win even more special.

Well picked up!!!!

[Dooloo]

I'm still so stoked. Just a brilliant team effort. As Al would say WOW, just WOW. Birdy is my new man, he gets better every game, stringing together some rippers, you da man Sparrow

I enjoyed this one more. Due to the pain of the Semi and just the way we ran over them in the second half. It was a slaughter.

Injuries everywhere. The Hawks seemingly unbeatable defense.

The swans just stood up.

Best feeling I've had for quite some time.

This was sublime! I am gonna clean up in the tipping comps! You bloody beauty! I had us getting flogged at half time they were ruddy dreadful in the first half. Great move by Longmire to bring Smithy on plus put Drew back he was great in running the ball in the third. GOOOOOOOO THE BLOOOOOODSSSSS!!! I told you we could win the premiership this year, though I thought more like next year or the year after. I always believed we were top 4 & now we can all believe!
