Griffen or Dustin Martin is the type of player that would make our midfield pretty much "complete".Official Driver Of The "Who Gives A @@@@ As The Player Will Get Delisted Anyway" Bandwagon.

Agree Scott. AJ is going to be the unsung hero of his day. He just gets to the ball and fixes things. He has his job and he knows what it is.
Parkes worked his way into the game and finished off on a high. As far as I could see. Anyone at the game itself who can comment? I was not sure if Danny and Peb were quite on the states sheet until I looked at my Dream Team points. Honestly, you have to GO to the game to get all the nuances.Comment

The back six were all good today, except for the 1st quarter. Teddy had a couple of clumsy non-intercepts, Marty did his regulation OOBTF, Alex was a bit slow to his man,Reg (I think, would be glad to be corrected) gave away an unnecessary free for a goal, Rhyce was indecisive and ran in circles. All fixed for Q2. And Smooch shut Giansiracusa almost right out of the game.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

Have just arrived home from Art class at Sheffield where I was following via a phone app.....first half I was throwing pencils and drawings. One drawing landed in the golden syrup for the scones and cream....class was in uproar. So glad things were able to setle down as we drew away from t5hose Footerscray lot.
Its going to take a while to knock off a mural with pencils.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.Comment

Parker was very good today. He's my favourite player and he did alot of in and under grunt work... love him! Goodesy played well, Smithy and AJ were composed as usual. Everyone played their roles, including the umpires the *smiling* idiots.LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

I thoroughly enjoyed the second half of that game, one I had the presence of mind to mute the game. Those commentators were really doing their best to dampen Swans' fans enjoyment.
Loved AJ's work again. He's easily one of my favourite players, as is Sammy. Good to see Sammy moving pretty well too and love seeing his quick hands again. Hopefully he'll be back taking great marks and kicking a bagful next week.
Thought Goodes was a LOT better, but I've heard/read a few times that he was the Swans best which I don't agree with. Pyke and Mummy were fantastic again, the kids were great once they woke up and the back six ( after the first quarter) were solid once again.
God I'm enjoying being a Swans fan this year. I haven't been this excited about footy for a few yearsLife's not a spectator sportComment

I argued that they just can't kick so it wasn't deliberate.Comment

Goodes second half was a significant improvement. I was appalled at his start and worry that his decision making will cost us against the Hawks. Hopefully his confidence is back.
Smith was brilliant as was AJ (aside from his questionable kicking)
Morton was lively but i'm sure Longmire will remind him to shepherd - After he looked for the easy handball from Hannebery who slotted the goal. Liked the want to kick a goal but needs the balance right.
Jack and Kennedy supreme in the middle
Griffin what a game WOWComment

Got my 3 votes. Didn't miss a beat and the sheer frustration on Giansiracusa's face as he spoiled, harrassed, outmarked him or simply outpointed him was very obvious.
On AJ...in the last quarter he seemed to be favouring his strapped knee and looked spent. Played well mind you but looked a bit jaded.Comment

Heard a story at the game that Spangher last week put his hand up to say that he is not quite ready.Comment

Did anyone see Elizabeth Taylor at the game yesterday? Hard to believe but those of you that taped the game, watch at the 15:39 minute mark of the second quarter. Just after Picken kicks the goal. They show a Vietnam Vet with his arm in a sling having a beer and she is sitting about 4 rows behind him.
Couldn't tell if she was texting comments in though.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

I'm just watching the replay on Fox. The vision is terrible and can't believe the quality of what should be HD recording. Really poor.
Anyway, was a great game and lots of fun yesterday. So impressed with the second half and how clean our rebound was from defence.Comment
