    It's so frustrating watching the Essendon players automatically lead into contested balls with their head, drop their arms to draw the high tackle and drop their head as soon as there is a tackle coming. You can see our players are wise to it, they hold off at the last second with the tackle, but honestly it just @@@@s me. It's a massive blight on the game at the moment.

      Whoever predicted a breakout game for Reid, so far, so good! =)

        So far so good. Some impressive transition of the ball through the middle of the ground, and Armstrong makes us a fair bit quicker coming out of defence.

        We started well against the Saints, mind you. So they need to make sure they don't lapse into complacency as the second quarter begins.

            Nice first quarter, TDL great kick to Reid, that's delivery. Can we keep up the pace? Can we get far enough ahead that it won't matter? Watson still getting away a bit, but hasn't hurt us, lots of really good pressure from teh boys

              Could have been better...easy to get greedy.
              The challenge is to keep it up...surely we can't keep getting the run from kick outs all night!

                Good quarter Sydney - shame Reid missed that last shot would have been useful - but well worked out of the back line

                  Great quarter. 5.3 to 1.4

                  Great defensive work, moving the ball really quickly, Reid catching and kicking goals. What's not to like?

                  Loved Jetta taking on Fletcher.

                    Great pressure from the Swans all over the ground !

                    It will be a test to see if they can keep up the speed of transition that has been a big factor so far.
                    Kudos to M.Pyke in the ruck freeing Mummy to test Fletcher.

                    Can't wait to see if they let Fletcher run with Jetta again

                      Oops - that's 1.5 to the Dons.

                      I left out Armstrong's point.

                          Well a good start so now they have to keep going.

                          I thought McVeigh has done some clangers and is worse on field for the Swans. The defenders have dropped ball at critical time.

                          Midfield and forwards doing very well. Hanners run there into the forward line was a bit slow.

                          Best so far - Andrejs wrap around goal and Armstrong's behind. Kick not his .... you know.......

                          Jetta - Fletcher combo was funny. No one would blame old Dustin not bothering.

                          Think Reid should have got a free in front of goals but then Shaw's free in defence in my opinion should have been in the back. So levels out.

                          So far so good for Reid. Another goal would have helped on the scoreboard.
                          Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

                              Great game lucky that bombers are inaccurate in front of goal - keep it up boys
                              I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................
