      This umpiring thing...getting beyond a joke. 5 minute period of play reckon they missed 4 obvious frees to Sydney
      He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

          How come Hawks can trip Buddy and no free kick? He could have got seriously injured in that play...

            I haven't been watching the game, but the Swannies must be playing better than last week. Who has been best on ground so far?

              Every time the Swans kick in short it gets called 'play on not 15' but Hawthorn can kick it 2 feet and its a mark

                Cheats can ignore free kicks for one team and claim they cant see it..

                  Nicholls at it again after his awful efforts last week. Clear free to Tippett in the goal square, and a clear trip on Buddy as well.

                  So far so good but you get that feeling the Hawks will get on a roll at some stage, and we will need to grimly hang on. Some good footy interspersed with a lot of awful footy as well from both sides.

                  Love how Heeney goes about his footy - he really is a superb young player. Rohan having some impact as well, and Buddy is in fantastic form.

                  Come on Swans - keep it up in the 2nd half - Hawks are most definitely there for the taking tonight, but we have to play 4 good quarters of footy, not 2 or 3.

                    I get very angry when umpires fail to protect players from potentially injurious illegal play....

                      Lets hope these 2 missed free kicks dont come into play then

                        Nicholls said 'he was on the ground'. Yes he may have been, but that is no excuse for a clear trip. Imo should get cited for it, but no doubt he won't - made no attempt to actually tackle, just to kick out with his legs to trip.

                          Some terrible umpiring there.

                          Parker having a shocker, hope he tears it up second half

                            Possibly starting to reassess my previous positive thoughts on Nicholls?

                              The Hawks will definitely come at some point. I remember a game at the SCG 3 or 4 years ago. Swans were 7 goals up and my mate went to get beers. By the time he'd got back Hawks were level.

                              Best so far:

                              Hanners
                              Rampe
                              Heeney
                              Buddy
                              The late Reg
                              Tippo
                              and I think Mitchell is doing a great job on Mitchell

                                I never had positive thought for him - always been an inconsistent umpire. He absolutely crucified us last week (Grundy in particular) and giving a fair share of poor calls this week as well.
