I commented last week on Newman's game. I thought he had another ordinary game. Fumbled a lot and butchered many of his 10 kicks. Hopefully it was just one of those games where the ball didn't bounce his way.Comment

To search incognito, The Australian article is titled: 'Australian football starting to resemble rugby league: Matthews'.
"They might be the form team of the competition, the Swans, but they do play a ?smother you? brand of footy,? Matthews says. ?And if it wasn?t for (Lance) Franklin giving you a few highlights up their forward end, I?m not sure whether I?m keen on it, watching the Swans play, to be honest.?Comment

A great game to watch at the Riser. I would love to have been a fly on the board to hear Horse's comments at quarter time. Changed the game.
And great work from Rohan, Buddy and the new midfield who - at least in Q2 to Q4 - almost made up for the loss of Josh. Defence was back to their stingy best in the same period.
We can't afford that first quarter slackness against the next few teams we play.
And I'm happy to see Towers flourishing out there, even providing a bit of needle and bump occasionally. He is genuinely fast, able to create some space with sheer speed.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

How many debutants have their been as well.
The only mercurial person I'm really missing in Swans colours is Jetta who is gaining confidence in his new jumper.Comment

Have only watched the first quarter so far, but sounds like a good win. For those interested in in these things, here are the CD stats. Looks like a couple of the regular whipping boys in Rohan and Towers did ok. For those who don't like McVeigh here's some fuel for the fire.
Seems to match pretty well with what I saw in the first quarter for Rohan and McVeigh anyway.
Also, is it time for Newman to have a rest? He's been good this year, but definitely declining the past couple of weeks. Some of his disposal effectiveness and decision making seem to have been a bit questionable. That OOB on the full in the first quarter - ouch!

We must beat GWS next week or we could fall out of contention again. They are just going at the moment, no better time to beat them and beat them well. Be good to see a big turnout from Swans supporters to neutralise the orange people.Comment

Rampe again showed why he is so important to this team. A lot of people want him freed from defending a key position forward but not me. He has the unique ability like Rance or Hurley to nullify the oppositions best while hurting them on the rebound. I personally hope he goes to Cameron next week.Comment
