I mean, at the start of the game, he was probably thinking something like, 'You beaut, I don't have to play on Franklin!'. And then Sinclair goes and kicks five on him.
    Love it

    Wonder if Clunkers will keep his spot or give way to Reid this week?

    I thought Heeney's tackle was legal and couldn't understand the free.

    And Mills' bump!

      Sinkers!!!
      Fawlty Towers!!!! (He had a few shockers, but this was by far his best game of the season.)
      Awesome game.
      Still too many behinds. Converted, that's a lot of percentage we're missing out on.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        I was watching with the sound off while at a party and we were trying to figure out the reason for the free kick in the tackle. As far as we were all concerned, it was a great tackle.

        Also, I had to chuckle at Mills as soon as he did the bump - you could see the grin on his face as he was getting up, so you know he understood how good it was.

          Are the umps going to explain the free against Heeny's technically perfect tackle ?

            Our score this year: 224 goals, 212 behinds (1556). Accuracy 51.4%, ranked 13th or so.

            Top ranked side is Melbourne. 240 goals, 178 behinds (1618). Accuracy 57.4%.

            If we were converting with the same rate as Melbourne, we would have scored 26 more goals or 130 more points. Percentage would be 1686 ? 100 ? 1342, or 125.6%, or about 10% higher.

            That percentage would have been to put us within range of Port Adelaide's percentage of 132.1 and given us a margin of comfort ahead of Geelong and GWS. Our percentage is already the third-best in the competition, but not by much.

                Needs to keep it up for the next eight weeks.
                They all do.

                All we need to do is win every game between now and 29 September.

                I did note while watching the replay that the swannies seem a happy bunch at the moment... Kizza and Millsey were smiling the whole game.
                I know it helps if you're winning, but they just seemed so happy to be there!

                  Our accuracy in front of goal is the only thing I'm worried about.
                  I don't think of it as having 10 points... I think of it as losing 60 potential points.
                  Then again... Collingwood got to a granny on the back of a season of kicking thousands of behinds.

                      I might be greedy, but I'll ask for one extra days worth of wins

                        I thought I actually heard the ump explain the free was given because "it was a rugby tackle".

                        I didn't actually realize that tackling in the style of another code was an instant free.

                          No he didn't. Turnovers at halfback, out on the full, missing gimme goals. Needs to be playing NEAFL for the next 8 weeks.

                            If Reiwoldt had taken that mark that Towers took we would not have heard the end of it from the commentators. It was brilliant and should have received more attention.

                              Sorry... compared to the rest of his season, he had an awesome game.
                              Better?

                                Common sense prevails at the MRP, if not in the C7 commentary box. Heeney cleared.

                                Heeney cleared to play - sydneyswans.com.au
