    Yes and his 12 tackles were handy.

      We had 11 goal kickers tonight the only multiple kickers were Bud and McVeigh.

      Jack got in form tonight

      Parkers seems to be carrying a knee I think he should be the one rested next week and maybe bring in Abe Davis

        Agree that Jack has been very good all year.

        I thought Parker played well. We're just used to him being the dominant midfielder and the media have built him up to be a Brownlow favourite. But he was fine. It's just that the other 4 of the inside 5 were a bit better.

          Not sure about Parker needing a rest. Possibly.

          But Buddy looked like he'd taken a few heavy hits and seemed knackered .
          Also made some strange descisions .
          Maybe he needs a rest.

          Important win.
          Amazing how Swans find these young players to help them stay in the top 4.
          Lots of credit to all who play a part in this .
          Must drive other clubs mad. .

            Tom Mitchell was bloody fantastic tonight.

              Jones was good tonight

              Impressive debut by Marsh

              McVeigh watch: played well overall tonight. Made some mistakes but made up for them. Much prefer him either on the wing linking kicks into the forward line, or in the forward line itself where he seems to be able to kick to a target better.

                Some more good news Tom Mitchell set to reject strong Carlton interest and re-sign with Sydney Swans

                    How was Firrito not reported? At the game his actions looked incredibly dirty and poor. Him and Lindsay thomas are bottom dwellers.
                    However impressed with our ability to stem there 3 talls and halt there momentum. Thought alot of our young guns stood up

                      lol. He probably doesn't want to become the next Chris Judd (Losing Carlton version 2.0).

                        Is there anyone in the game who can celebrate a goal quite like Zac Jones?

                          Wow. Mcveighs value is as link man. Get a handball, give a handba?l. Soon as the ball is on the ground or in the air hes too easily bumpwd out of the way.

                            A terrific game by our boys, no passengers on a hard night.

                            My main wish for the team is that they would pay more attention to their spread and find people in space to keep the ball movement going forward. There were a few occasions when they opened up the field, then ran into a dead end. But overall it was great to watch, and Harrison made a promising debut.
                            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)

                              With his kicking he celebrates like it might be his last

                                That made me smile, I really like Zac and what he brings to our team and I thought that was a nice reward for, what I thought was, a really solid game from him.
                                I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                                We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
