    Loved Shaw's run run run - his best game of the year by far, especially as he started out also responsible for the dangerous Dalhaus
    Loved how Hanners just kept going all game long. He doesn't do the flash but he's as relentless as they come.
    Loved Lewis J's dash, flair, skill, composure, modesty (most of the time).
    Loved Old Man Jude turning back the clock.
    Love Ted. Full stop.
    You forgot Smith, Liz. I believe Gia had but one shot at goal.

        Hanneberys' relentless run, was my highlight.
        He has unbelievable stamina.... and uses it to great effect.

          I'd love us to knock off the Bombers next week. We're a genuine top 4 team if we can do that.

            I forgot to mention Ted - he was fantastic.
            I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                I never doubted he could do it.
                I never for one moment thought he'd be this bloody good.

                  Flat track bullies indeed. We shouldn't read into this game very much considering the Dogs had such a bad day. Pretty disenchanted with the team regarding our efforts the last month, but a good game against Essendon should rectify that.

                  There is no doubt the Bombers will be dirty on their loss and they match up on us pretty well so it's going to be a big test.

                  Congrats to Reg on the 100 and Jets on the 50.

                    Our efficiency early really set the tone. The Dogs were getting more of the ball early but we played good wet weather footy from the 1st minute and really took our chances. From there it was great to see us not relent on the effort for the full four quarters. Thought Shaw was brilliant, providing run directly up the ground all day, and this was so important to be direct in the conditions. Jude was tireless in and under while Hanners was the same outside. LRT contested brilliantly up forward - IMHO his best game when he has played primarily forward. Jetta showed his class again after a slow start - who'd have picked him to be averaging about 2 1/2 goals a game? Ted showed just how well he reads the play - the number of times he would peel back off his man to get an uncontested possession in the backline knowing the ball was coming in there was phenomenal. And great for Mummy to get some game time into him, and be able to play out the full game.

                    Only downside was Parker's broken collarbone.

                    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

                    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                      Yes Alan, I reckon two ruckmen work.

                      I hated LRT being the second ruckman as he is not cut out for that IMHO. LRT is, however, a bloody hard at it trier!

                      Mumford is a huge boost to the side - hell, damn near as much as #37 - heresy I know, but there it is....

                        I am amazed it worked!! Almost as amazing is the way playng youngsters has worked! We obviously have some smart thinkers at selection.

                          Check out the Rhyce Shaw post match interview on Swans site - seems he was under more even pressure from incoming elastoplast in the interview - Absolute Classic and never flinched - and what a game he played today - exceptional game.

                            Oh and I forgot to add how much better our forward line looks with TDL there - a lot less predictable and he is a natural forward, knows how to read the ball and manoeuvre his opponent under the flight where needed. Keep him in the 22 and away from the green vest!!!
