Rnd 10 Match Day Thread. Sydney V North Melb. SCG. 7.50 pm.

I adore Mitchell but he's not a bad kick yet he persists on hot 1-3m handballs to teammates in congested positions.

Bruce is so pro any team and any play against Sydney. One of the most annoying commentators of Sydney games (Chins McGuire being another).

[dejavoodoo44]

That non free kick to Kennedy was almost laughable.

Jones kick s straight!

Nice bit of work by Hewitt to get it Jones. I think I can hear the fat lady starting to sing.

And North are put out of their misery by a Buddy bullet.

Just imagine if Sinclaire had the marking hands of Laidler

[WauchopeAnalyst]

Good start from Marsh, strong hands late, showed me plenty.

Got the feeling tonight that North thought that they could overpower us through the middle. As Dennis Cometti would say, "That's ambitious".

[Blue Sun]

Good win in the end. Swans playing really well. North not that good, 9 and 1 flatters them. Good debut from Marsh, Mitchell had another cracker as well. I thought Jones was good too (disposals could use some work). Franklin while very good, tried to do too much at times. Hewett also played a good game. Impressed by the youngsters of late.

Very solid debut.

Great game from mitchell tonight, he was fantastic.

A very satisfying win tonight, we still arent playing 4 full quarters of good footy but there is a hell of a lot to like about this footy team. We could of killed them with more concentration.

I am really liking how 2016 is shaping up more generally but especially how well we have bounced back after 2015.

Great game. Admire Hannebery & Kennedy.
Rap for Lloyd & Jones.
Love Mills' potential - so cool.

[Ludwig]

It just shows that you don't need a tall defence to beat a tall forward line. Only 1 goal from their 3 tall forwards.

Except for the latter parts of the 2nd quarter we put in a really solid effort with lots of pressure and good tackling. We just ran harder than they could and constantly found men open. If we can could out some of sloppy play and disposal we could be a dominant side.

Can't fault Jones' effort, but he needs to think more about his disposal. Hopefully it will develop in time, because he can kick the ball well. It was big game for Lloyd. He was everywhere. Shame about that mistake that led to a goal. He's determined to move the ball on at all cost, sort of Western Bulldogs style. Great game from Reg who will probably not get many TLM votes because of the big games from Mitchell, Hanners and Kennedy.

Best game of the year from Macca. 2 nice goals to add to 25 disposals. Hope it's a breakout for him this year.

Special mention to Sinclair, who had his best game for a while. Competed well in the ruck. Had 7 tackles, a few of them very telling.

Maybe Heeney and Mills can have a rest next week. They're starting to look tired and we need them for the GWS game. We can bring in Davis and Reid.

Great game, should have won by more, but can't complain. I'm seriously happy! Take that Norf! It's strange, I was thinking at the end how good I thought Rohan played and what an 'X factor' he is, then saw his fantasy points, in last place with 27 pts from 8 possessions and 3 frees against!! I think it was those few 'X factor' moments that stick in the mind, but if he could pick up say 20+ possessions on a consistent basis, he'd be up there with Buddy! Actually, the Bud should have kicked 6 tonight, but his judgement and decision making was a bit off. He sure looks happy though.

Just so happy with our depth so far as our young guys are on the up and more then holding their own

to be honest 4 of the first 6 goals by North came from our rookie errors out of the backline...... but these kids fought their way back into the game and came out on top


Mills - 10 games > learning quickly and has been persisted with as he will rise to the top come the end of the season

Jones - 23 games . Looked better tonight but he and Mills are prone to very aggressive attack that has brought them unstuck........but they have so much upside

Swampy - 1 game > is a very composed player....good decision making, kept it simple and when in doubt took the easy ball tonight, very happy for him & ran out 4qtrs

Hewett - 7 games? > just a great user of the footy and has tremendous lateral vision

Heeney - 23 games .> just an awesome season so far

our other guys :

AA - 1 game > looked at ease same as Marsh in his first game in sirs

Paps - a bull terrier and a great option.......paps will come back in on match ups and is the heir apparent for McGlynn

[Auntie.Gerald]

is there any other team in the comp that had 3 players in their backline with only a combined 34 games between them ?

it is quite incredible that our backline still functioned well with 3 such inexperienced players
