    Swans are notoriously unreliable after a bye, so a 6 day break is preferable. I have faith in the Swannies after tonight, they all showed tremendous heart. The Bloods will come to play at the G next week! Can't wait!

      I reckon no bye may have just did us a world of good. Maybe 6 day break will help more rather than hurt us?

          Ruckman tap the ball, tackle, create pressure and a bail out target, mark occasionally and kick. HP is a long way down the order.????

            That kick to bud was nice and so was that hard contest in the 1st. He brings that hardnut element we miss.

                  Great skills shown by Heeney avoiding that girls boobs when signing her jumper.

                      Joey Kennedy superb! Might be time for McVeigh to retire. Any chance of Nicky D pulling on the boots next week?

                        For a game that so many struggled to get tickets to, 38,136 was perhaps a little disappointing.

                        But ...

                          Is Jones a chance to come back?

                            Probably. Assuming neither McVeigh nor Mills are available, he'd be a logical choice to play across half-back.

                            Who replaces Rohan in the forward line will be an interesting call. In terms of like-for-like, Towers is the most logical replacement but he didn't do himself many favours in last week's NEAFL GF. Rose could be the lucky one to come into the team.

                              The umpire was shocking tonight, but i didnt focus on it too much, but i did see plenty of shockers not paid to us and a few non frees go to the crows.

                                Definitely, depending on how his concussion testing is going starting with the SCAT3 test
