    We've got Jetta, Hanners and Buddy all injured at the moment. Buddy and Jets both have ice on their knee/calf. Goodes will probably come on for Buddy.

      Goodes on, Buddy subbed out. Jetta back on the field.

        Hope Buddy's injury isn't too bad.

        I have noticed today when the ball is on the ground we can't pick it up instead we are fumbling.

        Lloyd is still being ignored.

            Seeing Goodes is wonderful, but it does make the rest of the team look even worse. He leads to space and delivers to a team-mate. I don't think I have seen any other Swan do both of those all year.

              Agree with this.

              I really wish someone would teach the players to not fumble the damn ball - that and handball backwards when there's options up ahead. Quite a few times in this game where players have been ignored when they're free (Lloyd in particular was a free on a number of occasions right near the person marking and they hand balled back instead)

                Good win. Scoreline flattered melbourne. Should have been a 10 goal win if we kicked straight

                    I don't think I have really enjoyed a single swans game this year - it has not been fun to watch this team. Great seeing Goodes, perhaps he can make the difference for the rest of the season.

                      Aside from seeing the great man doing his stuff again, the highlight of the evening was Derickx LOLZ. He's a lumbering two left feet sort of guy.

                      Unexpected benefit of having all these tall forwards is having the luxury of bringing one back in every time one goes out.

                      Gutsy win really...just ugly
                      He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                        Wow that was a really, really ugly win. Take the 4 competition points and move on - nothing else to remember from that game.
                        "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

                          Well done swans. Slowly working into the season. I know we would have scored a bigger score if the skills were better. Confidence is what is needed and a few wins can help do that

                            Brilliant idea - let's get another assistant coach on the payroll asap....

                            I liked Derickxzxyx's game tonight - not pretty but he did his bit.

                              3 positives from this ugly game - win, Goodes not getting hurt & Hanners running back into form.

                                Well I was actually implying to someone already at the club... but each their own I guess.
