    You didn't get the memo? Any form of physical contact whatsoever is now prohibited in ruck contests. That stunk even worse than Lloyd's effort.
    My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

      Those 2 consecutive frees to Brown (which resulted in a goal) were very soft. I thought we were getting the better side of the umpiring early on. But it's quickly turned around now, 12 frees for North, 9 for us. Have we won the free kick count in any match this year? It seems the Swans get the rough end of the stick more times than not.

        Great goal from Harry, no nonsense, just on the boot straight away. Good stuff.

            He's missed a couple of handballs, but otherwise been pretty good from what I've seen.

                  No offence barry, but do you not tire of relentless McVeigh bashing? I for one am exhausted from reading it in its repetitive monotony.

                    Here! Here! 2 goals from McVeigh and Barry is still banging on about him. Give it a rest!

                      Better 3rd quarter but he was outrun by pietrie and out muscled by thomas. result 2 goals to north.
                      I don't feel confident with the ball in his hand.

                        Great third quarter but didn't put them away with all that possession. We need a good start to the 4th and not the diatribe we turned out against richmond.

                        What a goal from gaz - more of that please

                          I really really really hate north Melbourne. They would have to be up there with being one of the most dirtiest teams. I wish we made them pay more that quarter.

                            Tippet just needs a goal in the last to put the icing on the cake.

                              A good lead at 3/4 time but we need to make more of our opportunities. Loved Gary Rohan's briefest of pauses measuring the kick before putting it straight through. I wish more of them took the extra half second to turn a shambles into points.

                              But I must allow credit to North for the level of pressure they apply.
                              He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
