Match Day Thread Rnd 5 V Western Bulldogs.

[stellation]

I had to mute them after the no free from the Tippett drop earlier (even though it should have been a free and wasn't paid to the Dogs). The fact they went on about it for a damn quarter resulted in the mute button after half time.

They're pretty woeful, and I'm moving on to the whole "certain commentators are painful callings Swans vs. Victorian team games" group.

I've heard them go on and on about the "young" Bulldogs and how great it is to see these youngsters doing well- and they've barely touched on the 21 year olds Tom. Mitchell having 25 disposals, 7 tackles and 5 clearances in 3 quarters of footy. Michael Talia is older than Mitchell but they're referring to the exciting efforts of the youngster (he looks good!) and acting like Mitchell is an old vet.

Due to my location I am not able to see the game but are following on the AFL site. But is there any chance the coaches might start to rate Mitchell. It seems incredulous for any reason that he has been rated behind Towers and Cunningham.

Well we certainly are not a wet weather side.

Rampe and Rohan in particular are mistake prone. Mitchell best for the Swans IMHO.

[Jeynez]

Defenders have let us down all game today. Single-handedly keeping the Dogs in the game. Everytime we look like taking over the game, they stall our momentum with stupid turnovers.

How on earth has Mitchell been kept out of the side? His attack on the footy is fantastic.

Agreed. Only behind Hanners in the disposal count at the moment for Swans.

I'm also hoping Benny kicks butt in the 2s to show how he could have played in the wet conditions.

Keeza had been really quiet too until that goal.

Good, one goal in it: could we not make it back to two goals with a cheap turnover?

[troyjones2525]

Haven't been able to watch the game so how is Mitchell's disposals? He is usually wasteful which is the biggest criticism on him.

He had one miss at goal before, but overall IMO he's been one of our most effective. Not turning the ball over unlike the others.

Just checked he's at 61% DE.

WTF Rampe is at 90% ah he makes it up with his 4 clangers.

Going at 62% which is better than Hanners, Parker and Jack

The way we're going we'll catch up to them by kicking behinds.

I would laugh if we can pull off a win and it's one of our backs who kicks the winning goal.

[Scottee]

Gary Rohan's pickups on the run are scintillating!

Yes, Rohan's been very good in the second half.
Dogs look like they're starting to tire: let's hope that we can keep the momentum.

[gossipcom]

And we turn the lead over again.

[bodgie]

Lack of composure under pressure, especially in the first half, cost us dearly.
