Huge turnaroudn today albeit against some pretty poor opposition. Zak Jones and Melican clearly best on ground. Really liked Marsh, Melican, Grundy. No passengers really although Papley was very quiet. Felt so reassuring having McVeigh out there.

He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie. -
Does buddy have anything to worry about that jumper punch?
Scrappy last quarter, we went back to our dodgy skills. But we finally won!!
We need to sign Jones asap! His run and carry is exactly what we needed.
Hanners needs a rest...He can't chase.
Towers should keep his spot, I thought he did well.
I'm getting annoyed at the number of holding the man decisions after the player just drops the ball. Cost us 3 times today.
Nice to see us singing the song ????.Comment

With the jumper punch, if the angle that they were showing on TV is the only angle that they've got, then probably not. From that distance, it's inconclusive as to whether he made any high contact, and if so, with what force. Dermie was trying to talk up the Mills late spoil, but while it was a bit late, it was more a glancing blow. Towers being whacked squarely in the back of the head was worse.Comment

A good spirited effort from the boys, especially the midfield group. Jones was great and Parker also played well. We did look like a bottom 4 side at times, especially the way we leaked easy goals and gave away dumb free kicks. Marsh played well and Macca was good for his first game back, but we still have a lot to do to work as a unit. Solid games from Towers and Cunningham.
I found the decision on Aliir a bit odd. We knew about him missing or coming late to training yesterday, so we could have dropped him completely from playing this week, or dropped him to the reserves and used Newman or Foote as our emergency, but instead chose to have Marsh come in and have Aliir as our emergency. Conceivably, Aliir could have played today had somewhat pulled up sore from the warm-up. This makes me think that the offense was not that onerous, but simply that the club has a no tolerance policy regarding training standards. I felt this may have been the reason for the Abe Davis delisting, since it certainly wasn't for lack of talent. Rohan was interviewed at halftime and said that Aliir missed the 'captain's run earlier this week' (I think this is what I heard) and it was a leadership group's decision regarding Aliir.Comment

I posted in the Ressies thread that I think Melican is going to be a key to our backline for many years - he impressed again today. McVeigh pretty good considering the time out. Hanners was Ok - if he is injured he is doing very well regardless. Kennedy was a bit down but deserves a crap load of credits.Comment

The interpretation of this rule seems to depend on whose playing. It's judged differently in just about every game and almost always poorly where the Swans are concerned.Originally posted by Mel_C;724351

Just got back from the SCG.
Buddy was wonderful, and I'm firmly in the Jones fan club, he has been playing well and was even better today.
I would also like to thank the ladies at the canteen who said they were praying for victory today. I don't know which deity they prayed to, but I thank him/her/it/them/whatever too...
Overall we needed the prayers, because from what I saw today, these wins are going to be few. The Swans have lots of work to do. We were lucky the Lions are just worse than we are.Comment

I think the AA decision was simple
No one in ressies was going to miss a game due to AAs laziness !!!!
Hence him missing on playing in any team full stop"be tough, only when it gets tough"
