Match Thread : Swans v Freo , R5 , 2014

Have reserved judgement on Franklin so far this season. I've always thought him over-rated and he's done nothing today to make me change my mind. Can Nick Davis please teach him to kick?

Franklin has always been a terrible kick. Nothing will change that. Overrated, yes, but still a very, very good player. The trick is finding a way to use him. I don't think our gameplan suits him that well. He will adapt in time, or we will adapt to him. Either way I reckon things will improve.

After last week's final quarter, I am still worried we might collapse in the final quarter. Still nervous.

We're gonna win by 10 goals. Think positive.

Like the Viet-cong or terrorists, Ballantyne the dwarf knows that playing dirty is the only way he can be competitive. He knows he's physically incapable of beating his opponent, so he tries to beat their mind. Unfortunately, a lot of times, these kind of players win.

A little harsh on Franklin. Hardly disinterested, just not effective. They've manned him up very well.

A little harsh on the Viet Cong.

Shaw - turnover

[bloodsbigot]

Okay, I defended Shaw in the last few weeks... but @@@@!

No more set shots for McGlynn...kick it on the run ????.

Bugger Sandilands had to intercept Shaw's handpass.

Buddy goal ????.

[bloodsbigot]

Rampe is playing the game of his life.

[Foreign Legion]

God Damn a chest mark to Freo in their forward line - unforgiveable.

[Mel_C]

Bugger 2 goals in a row to Freo.

[bloodsbigot]

I'm a sad panda.

[AMcK3220]

Rampe is on ????

[bloodsbigot]

Buddy gets one back. Should have had way more frees than that so far.

[Mel_C]

We got those 2 goals back ????.

I love Rampe.

[bloodsbigot]

Parker another one against the momentum. Go swannies go!

[Mel_C]

Craig Bird - nice fist
