Our impression of Jetts' performance would have been far more favourable had he nailed a couple more of those shots on goal. His kicking, which was one of his strong points, is letting him down this year.

Like I said it's the 2010 jetta at the moment. Wasn't it 19 behinds before his first goal ?Comment

Think many are being way too harsh on Jetts - if not the 2012 version, I reckon he's been working hard, generally using the ball pretty well, and certainly adding something to the team. Hopefully, he keeps getting a little better each week, far from our worst this year IMO.Comment

I think Jetts looked really hard on himself.. Horse seemed to be trying to pep him up just after the game..Comment

Jetts had 20+ possessions - a lot by his standards - but I don't recall him carrying the ball. Not sure he even bounced it once. Usually he laid the ball off by foot (79% efficiency). I wonder if that's under instruction.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Yes I heard both of those too. He was generally fairly generous to the Swans all evening, but it was from the perspective of an uncle whose nephew was playing his 200th game rather than someone who actually knew how the Swans players have been going this year.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

I think, in bulking up, he's lost a yard or 2 and, more importantly, his confidence to just tuck the ball and take off.
There have been many opportunities this season for him to just take off and he hasn't. Can't believe that would be an instruction.
Regardless, I think his general play has been really good. He certainly has more confidence in the physical side of his game, and his disposal/ decision making is fantastic.
I reckon he's adjusting and growing into a newish style of play before our very eyes....I'm really enjoying watching it unfold.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

I also have the impression that he is working on expanding his repertoire, so perhaps not so much running and bouncing. But that goal against Melbourne, where he was fed the ball from a scrimmage and took off, three steps and he was past everyone else, and let fly. Classic.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Hanners was struggling to execute this as well today (the Buddy technique)."He was proud of us when we won and he was still proud of us when we lost' Tami Roos about Paul Sept 06.Comment

I'm pretty sure the guys commentating this game would be propping up the ladder.
I don't mind Lynch, but he's not a main target, more your third man up commentator.
I doubt we'll hear that team again this year for Swans games...they will however be commentating alot of Lions games.

I text a few of my regulars at QT about how Derrickx was making it hard for me to defend him this week, he was just God awful.
Then as a few have mentioned, from the time Myke went down he grew a leg. Maybe it dawned on him there and then that he was in the team regardless for the next month and freed him up mentally?He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

I used to call for the axing of Macca (when he used to have hair) so I have tamed my use of "sackem" calls. What do I know!Last edited by Primmy; 5 May 2014, 10:18 AM.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Certainly dont want Derrickx getting a big head!
Rampe is fast becoming a favourite. No second year blues for him, always seems to have composure and clean hands.
Folly that Laidler will make way - quite a handy utility even if he's not required in defence. Another interesting week at the selection table, particularly with Pyke out.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment
