Round 2 Port Adelaide v Swans

[Blue Sun]

Reid is a great mark of the footy, his ground skills are somewhat lacking though, he seems to lack pace.

On a night where everyone is throwing themselves at everything - Reid is conspicuously missing. I will always defer to the coaching staff who see more than we ever could but what is it they are getting out of Reid that keeps him in the team?

Tackles, marks and hand-offs. Good enough. But shouldn't push in the back, even if Westhoff played for it.

I love the Swans playing manic football...
It's thrilling... Win, lose or draw

I wasn't going to drink tonight but I'm sculling the beers as we speak. Go the mighty Swannies................

Reid is tagging Westoff. Westoff has only had 7 possessions. His doing the job for John Longmire.

This is a top quality game so far. Makes last week's match seem like a distant memory.

Regardless of happens from half time, we've taken things up a few notches and we're looking much better ...

And that's why I never judge from what I can see on TV. Why can't the commentators tell us this kind of thing instead of just repeating themselves over and over and over and over and over.

Best half of footy by Kennedy for a long time.

This doesn't mean he can't win the ball for us.. I really feel he is close to useless.. For someone who looks like they have the physical tools. He really is soft.

[MattW]

I thought the Port start with Kochie was really tacky and I suspect the umpires share my opinion. The footy is the entertainment, not the club president or his mates.

Yep.

Because BT is the main commentator. He's also an annoying pain in the rear.

Wow, what a difference a week makes. Looking good tonight, dry ground and excellent structures so far, see the boys back on track. Now for more Buddy and Tippett scoring involvements and less bombing long, as they did late in that second quarter, and sustained team effort should see us home.....Go Swans!!

[Hotpotato]

It's just seems inappropriate for a club president to be handed the microphone , just before the first bounce . It was wierd.

[altmattr]

I like Mike. I like seeing him kick. He is a long and accurate set shot. He kicks long in general play.

That kick was terrible.

I'm listening to ABC radio, even though it's about 20 seconds ahead of the TV. But it's still better than listening to the Ch 7 guys. I hear the good Swans stuff then enjoy it on the tellie! And KJ just kicked another....yay!!!!
