Good story here re the interest in AFL and support Heeney has generated in Newcastle. A bus load of 70 supporters came down to watch Saturday's match.

Papley was pretty good on Saturday, other than his missed set shot. Unless he's sore I don't think there is any reason to rest him. If anything we'd rest McGlynn and give Papley back the full time small forward position which is where he has looked most dangerous.Comment

I am enjoying The Odd Couple. Match made in heaven. Or somewhere. And it could NOT have been predicted, Bud and Isaac read each other very very well.
As for the poor trades, I think St Kilda did ok out of Schneider, and Demptser (who is still playing), looks like Membrey is coming good, Shiggsy looks to be going great guns at the Dogs, and Collingwood with Jolly and Adelaide with Stevens. So not all doh's.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

LOL, I can't quite fathom the dislike for McVeigh on here. Yes, he is on far side of his best footy but for mine he still provides composure and good leadership on the field and usually uses the footy well.
I suspect that he will only just get there next year in his last year but for mine he will end his career in the seniorsComment

I suggest we are doing well as a team when we can't find anybody more suitable than McVeigh to be our whipping boy.Comment

That's rubbish.
McVeigh is judged on how he plays.
I've never called for him to be dropped, but I thought he should have come back through the 2's
Last year I was close to calling for him to be 'given a rest' because he made so many mistakes.
I think he's overrated in that he is being regarded on his form of a couple of years ago, which in the end, isn't fair to him.
I hope the Swans find a good role for him where he will continue to be a major part of the team up until he retires.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

I think he has taken a little while to find his groove after the last spell on the sideline, but he was very good against Essendon (not the hardest test, I know) and seems headed in the right direction. He has the skill to find time, the brief pause in order to hit someone up accurately, something he does well. It's one of the main ways he directs play, and not many others have the knack.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.
