You can't use the GWS beat Sydney, Saints beat GWS, therefore Saints >>>> Sydney logic./QUOTE]

I don't think we're saying that. We are just saying that the Saints beating GWS emphasises how bad our loss to GWS was.
Tonight will prove if we can still compete with the best or we really do have major problems.

Read the article I linked before from Robbo. Its very interesting reading.

I had the same response Aardie. Well, my first respsnse was, Robbo actually wrote something worth thinking about.
For those who haven't read it, he's saying our contested ball work, where we got smashed last week, has been off since mid-last season. And he actually has stats!

I know we had a lot of injuries last year, but not to our mids. ANd maybe there was a bit of premiership hangover in there.

So tonight's the test. If losing to the Giants doesn't give us back our appetite for the contest....

Looks to be another 1st quarter rain on the way based on the radar.

AAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! Why does the rain always ruin our games??? The swans worst enemy.

Can we please have some forwards in our forward line!!

[Legs Akimbo]

Our forward entry is appalling

I can't remember a time when it wasn't. One of the frustration of being a Swannie.

2003-2005 Buchanan to okeefe to hall to o loughlin. Consistent on to chest lead. Since then....

We were pretty good at delivering it to Lockett back in the day.

[Legs Akimbo]

At least we manufactured a few goals. Nice to have a lead at quarter time

[Mel_C]

At least our mid fielders are getting the ball this week.

Hope Derickx is ok.

[Melbournehammer]

There is no doubt that if jpk is doing well we look soooooooo much better

[Melbournehammer]

The difference between malceski and mattner is best seen in that cloke mark. Mattner would have forced himself to be the third man up. Mal wants crumb and clear.

[Melbournehammer]

Seriously anyone who has watched this game after the other games this weekend (excl. sts gws) would assume these two sides are Vfl. I know the conditions seem poor but we are just playing really really ugly football.

And then hanners crumbs beautifully.

Btw he looks slower - do my eyes deceive me about that ?

[Mel_C]

A bit of love between Buddy and Hanners .

Oh dear Rohan what was that shot at goal!

[Mel_C]
