Match Day Thread Rnd 15 V Melbourne. MCG 19.50 pm.

[Billericay]

Jones could get a week for that

No way

- - - Updated - - -

Kieren Jack has been really good tonight. Towers OK. Rohan needs to play forward not back.

I hate to say it, but I'm really glad we've had McVeigh in the side. I didn't want him in, and he's been really important.

Think O-Flo might need some time in the twos

While I'm at it, Naismith has done a pretty good job rucking solo v Gawn

Florent just got shepherded 10m off the ball, but that's not a free kick after the one against Melican?

Discussion turns to roaming BT, who says he's not going to roam!

Yep only negative for the game. Even Towers played really well. McVeigh and Jack had been questioned but played great. Hanneberry's quite game a massive positive.

Florent needs some consistency in the twos. Hope Dawson can get a run soon

[Mug Punter]

Great result.

Hopefully tonight will shut the McVeigh haters up for a while - 96 ranking points, most when the game was to be won and lost.

Parker and Buddy immense, the entire backline (Rampe McVeigh and Newman especially).

Thought Towers did quite well. Maybe next week for Dawson for Olly who tried hard but could do with a spell in the twos.

Minimum 6 weeks for Bugg.

8-7 if we beat the Suns and then go hunting GWS

[AB Swannie]

Great win. Dominated all night. I can't believe we've kicked so inaccurately the last two weeks and got the two wins.

I really think the one ruck strategy must stay. With Mills going down early we would've struggled to run out the game like we did with Sinclair taking up a lot of time on the ground.

[Blue Sun]

Hope Jones doesn't get another week for that bump.

Great win tonight. So proud of this team. Definitely something special.

McVeigh showed us why he's still in our best 22. Just smart plays. In and around the contest, keeps his cool and gets clean handballs or kicks out. Him and Rampe are important pillars down back.

[Club 80]

Listening on ABC but I see the tv is advertising that bt will be tooling around the winners rooms.

"Roving Brian" is very popular for Melbourne based fans who love their BT.

Longmire doesn't turn up to Gill's dinner and the Swans media manage BT.

I think the Swans need to be careful not to become too anti-establishment.

Didn't see Bugg approach Mills to apologise...
anyone at the game witness same?

Think it will be Hayward for Florent. The one ruck strategy was a success I don't know if it was a one off tactical special, given that Demons only have Gawn or Horse&Co will keep it up. I'd rather have Towers as 22nd man than Sinkers. Not sure what happens when / if Tippo gets his mojo back?

[Cheer_Cheer]

I think we look much better with one ruck. Our best team was out there tonight.. I thought Bugg was gutless no going up to Mills after the game.. I hope he gets plenty..

[Billericay]

BT is a roaming! Talking about AJ

No meeting at all between them. Ch 7 would have been all over it if their had...."Nice touch there from Bugg", "Good sportsmanship".....vomit, vomit!

[Industrial Fan]

Jones was trying to make body contact to push his opponent off the ball. Approached his next contest the same way and won the ball. He got the head but it's a tough one to call.

Bugg will probably get a character reference from Donald Trump.

That will get 6 weeks down to 3 weeks.

[Thunder Shaker]

We've squared the ledger at 7-7 and we've closed the percentage gap a lot. That will help if we're to have a shot at a home final.

LOL John Longmire running away from BT was classic
