Swans v Blues Game Day Thread

LOL MB. As for Teddy, he had two feet on the ground, looked to me like shoulder to shoulder, and it's Teddy, he's a saint..( Franklin and Chapman both have tribunal history)....Surely he won't miss a game. I think at worst, perhaps a reprimand and points?

Did anyone else see his interview with Richo? He was almost in tears.

I gotta say McVeigh played one of the best individual games ever.

Let's hope....low impact, negligent and high......would mean if pleading guilty a reprimand. Frankin's was rated a medium impact.

A few weeks ago , I said here that I backed Reg to find good form. He proved me correct tonight ! But never in my wildest dreams did I expect him to get THIRTY-TWO touches ! That's 17 more than Judd got ! Not all cheap ones , either , with 12 contested. Reg started as a forward of course,then moved to defence , but with tonight's numbers , maybe we've found another midfielder.
His positional sense was good and , whilst his weaknesses are well-known , that was one of his best games in the R&W.

Huge game from Ted , too.And his bump was not as bad as Chapman's.

Cannot yet split Parker , Hanners , Jack and ROK for TLM votes - really ballsy games from all of 'em.

Captain Macca ? Yeah , I suppose he was alright , so he might jusssttt get a vote or three .

We will not get away with "declaring" at 3 QT v Freo . But that's another game. Tonight is about celebrating a courageous win , in extremely challenging circumstances. WELL DONE , LADS !!!! I - we - are proud of you ALL !!!!

Really great and unexpected performance from Reg. I was wondering most of the year where his form had gone. The last few years he was a super defender, despite his lack of pace. Hope he keeps it up.

Great win tonight but with all those injuries. the only hope we have is if Freo go in thinking they have won by just showing up. I don't think that will happen.

So realistically who will come in for Tippett, Mitchell and possibly Richards.?

Might bring in both little brothers and Lamb but will it be enough?

I notice on the Swans site that LRT will play at full forward for the reserves tomorrow, so if Tippo doesn't come up, I guess Lewie will do the job.
And if Mitchell doesn't mend in time we might see Towers make his senior debut, although I think Lamb is more likely.

It's making me re-think Reg's year......let me look up his brownlow odds...

Well done swans you were amazing.

Hurry up Liz with the TLM vote so that I can vote for McHack three times.
(see if you can fix it so that this can happen.)

God love him.
I promise I'll drive to the speed limit for a whole year because of his effort tonight.

Injuries..... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

(*wiping tears)

Lamb was the standby emergency tonight. Poor guy had to do the warmup then dash off to Canberra straight away so he couldn't even watch the game

I'll do the first part for you now. The second might be a bit trickier.

Where's the like button???

Most satisfying win of the year. A nine-goal lead at 3/4 time isn't shabby. McVeigh was sensational, Parker played his best game ever, Mumford and Jetta got among it. The best thing was we ran and spread like we used to. Maybe the team flu rumour last week was right.

Feels like we've been freefalling for six weeks and have come out of a nosedive a few inches above the ground - just enough to fly across the Nullarbor.

[Swansinger]

Good stuff Liz !! We all know who's gonna get most of - perhaps all of -the 3 TLM votes. But I hope we get a good spread on the twos and ones , as there are plenty of deserving candidates.
