Match Thread Round 2 Port Adelaide v Swans

[ugg]

No changes for either side. Subs are Matt White and Adam Goodes!

[Ludwig]

The sub choices work well for the Swans. Cunningham probably would have gotten a tagging role on White, so Port have gone with Monfries to start instead. I think he's a players that Laidler can match up on, if we choose to do that. Malceski often got the that assignment. You can run off Monfries and be 3rd man up.

I thought it might be Goodes as the sub, and it's probably the right choice. Maybe that will be his best role this year.

I've gotta be honest. This one has me nervous.

It's going to be a real tussle.

[Blue Sun]

A much better start than last week. It looks like a different team.

EDIT: the pressure has been fantastic from Sydney!

[altmattr]

Pyke is everywhere

[liz]

I love it when Jetta gets the swagger going.

[Bloody Hell]

Good start by the Swans - can they keep it up for 3 more quarters???

Interesting to see what people read into the Goodes as sub situation.

[Hotpotato]

That's more like it....
I wish they had turned up like this in the Granny...
Hope they can maintain this pressure.

Smith is killing Wingard.

Looking good so far, but of course, they're famous last words.
Tippett and Pyke are winning in the ruck; especially over Redden.
Teddy going well in his 200th for the Swans.
Parker has been strangely quiet; can't see that lasting.

Wow what a quarter! The pressure from both sides was amazing. I love watching games like this.

Entries into our forward line need to improve.

Can't complain about Jetta today.

Midfield is playing well.

The start was so quick after Never Tear Us Apart. Kochie and the Farriss brothers were still on the ground!

[PerthSwannie]

WOW........ Talk about Hi Tempo. Full on.............

[DisgruntledGoat]

I've been impressed by Towers.

[GoSouth33]

Gee, we're getting the frees!

[dejavoodoo44]

And we're getting a heap of free kicks; can't see that lasting.
