    We are OK ... but Adelaide seem barely present ... if we had made a few more of our ops we would have killed the game by now ... still too many skill errors and occasions when we have been forced to go backwards for half a mile because of an untidy possession without pressure. Hope Buddy is OK.

      If he wavers in signing, remind him of the feral bigots last week at Subiaco!

      Give Goodesy another contract if it will persuade Jetta to sign :-)
      Well, I think the chances of Lewis going to the Eagles were definitely finished last week, but I suppose the Dockers are still a chance.

      Yes, well the Crows only laying 20 tackles when we've had 247 possessions is bad, but some of our players have returned to form, especially McVeigh.

        Rohan being interviewed at half time by Jonathon Brown. Almost as tall as Brown, I always reckon we understate Gary's height in our stats, listed as 188cm from memory.

        Said he's running again and two weeks away from resuming, that would be via the NEAFL for sure, managed time etc.

          What is the sound in the background? Just the sound of decent society passing the bigots by...yet again.

            Getting some luck from the umpires tonight! Rampe's kicking has been poor as usual tonight unfortunately!

            And for all the criticism Cunningham gets for being soft or whatever, he hardly ever wastes a possession and needs to be in the team!

              Skills dropped off a bit that qtr and some bad misses in front of goal has cost us from putting the game away! Let's hope we play more like the first half in the last qtr and finish off a much better performance!

                Wasted opportunities that quarter we just couldn't kick straight.

                Let's keep going in the 4th. Can we kick 100 points?

                Loved the standing ovation at the 7th minute mark!

                  none

                  Ordinary 3Q ... error rate starting to hurt ... they make ya so mad at times ... we love Benny but disposal has always been his prob ... should be enough but
                  I wouldn't bet on it.

                      Really bad miss by Parker! Geez so many of our great young mids have shoddy disposal!

                      Case in point with Hanners bad kick!

                        Better result than I thought we'd have. We should take that an move on - and beat the Cats next week.

                          We moved a lot better this week.. I really wonder if it is a training thing that slowed us down over the last few weeks. The team balance was a lot better today too. The rucks worked well. Having Benny back was a huge plus.. If we can get Rohan out there we will be near full strength.. Lets see if Bud plays next week..

                            Do not ever start Mitchell as the sub again! He is not only a ball magnet but he's a tackling machine as well. He is a best 22 every week.

                            Rohan interviewed at half time, two weeks away from resuming in the ressies.

                              Interesting to watch our transitions significantly different and in the main effective and direct

                                You should watch the Reserves kick 25 or was it 26 points in their win today, 8 in the first quarter and it wasn't the toppies kicking the points nor were most of them rushed. You wonder how players who get to that level can be so poor, Towers was one of the worst even though he got a couple.

                                Still good on you Swannies, for firing in the first half and getting the job done. Should build up a bit of confidence. They did so many things so well but poor disposal again was letting them down and stopped them from blowing the Crows away.
