GWS v Sydney Swans Early Discussion

[nomae]

can someone summarise what happened at the end of the game??

also any general thoughts on who played well?

[Ampersand]

Scores locked 67 a piece, Heeney takes a vital grab around the middle of the ground, bombs it into the forward 50 with 10 seconds to go, pack worthy of 2005 forms, Towers crumbs and hands off to Bird who snaps it, siren sounds mid-flight as it sails through the big sticks.

Swans win by 6.

Dew: "Isaac is enjoying his footy out there. He'll definitely see some senior footy this year."

Two players to drop. Plus Tippett mcglynn and mcveigh to come back ? Assuming Kieren Jack and franklin are okay.


Right here I go.

You guys obviously see a lot more in him than I do, but I still haven't seen Towers do anything special. Not even sure what role he is playing.

Wow, Heeney took his time. We got lucky there.

I've got a feeling though that Jack may not play if he had a muscular strain

I submitted it before finishing. I think towers will make way. He is a good depth player at this stage

Oh no! Why did you mention "depth"?! Now we are going to hear all about his position on the so-called "depth chart"!

How bout the grab though ?? What a beauty

I thought many of our blokes looked like they were going through the motions for much of the afternoon. Tackling intensity seemed a bit down compared to last week. It would have been nice to see one of the fringe players stand up and impose themselves on the game a bit more (apart from Heeney). I agree with the comment earlier in the thread that we have too many blokes just not doing quite enough.

Apart from a couple of missed tackles, I did like Jetta's game. This new role has seen him a bit more involved throughout a game than he tended to be last year. He's pretty good in traffic - stays calms, looks for options, knows he has his pace that can often get him out of traffic.

And Naismith showed a bit. He's not in our best 22 at the moment - assuming Tippo is fit to do some rucking - but he's showing signs he might be one for the future.

liz I know what you mean about going through the motions. I think they relaxed a bit after the rohan and franklin clash realising that they shouldn't risk themselves too much during pre season.

I liked Jetts game too. Also liked rohan much more than his previous two games. They have potential to be really potent running out of the backline.

I know we keep saying it but shaw looks like a man on notice. We have started the process of rejuvenating the backline. Grundy is probably next to go but we don't have an obvious replacement yet. Reid is still not sure about how to defend well but I can see why they are sticking with him down there

By the sounds of it from the radio commentary, Rohan played mainly up forward today did he not?

Just come back from work, anywhere online I can watch the game? or was it televised on tv?
