    Melican has been super so far tonight - that new contract has done him a huge boost to take his game to a further level.

    love it Ugg!

      OMG. is Heeney in trouble for that 'dangerous' tackle (as described by the commentators). We will need him against the Hawks next week.

        Channel 7 commentators trying to make more out of Heeneys tackle on Geary: "he's from a rugby background" "spear tackle" was mentioned. Heeney went low and Geary jumped at the last second, just unfortunate circumstances, no way did Heeney attempt a 'spear tackle'. Sheese! Darn good tackle though!!

          Spot on, Geary definitely jumped into the tackle, Heeney will be fine.

              Greedy from Sinkers, should have given to Franklin. And a goal down the other end, that stings.

                  Though that was a nice shot from fifty!

                    Quality inconsistency in the umpiring in the middle - completely ignored the htb against the saints then pinged the swans one two seconds later....

                      Why can't the umpires be consistent? We tackled a player in the centre, they drop the ball, no whistle. Exact same situation with Papley just seconds later, free kick. So frustrating.

                          No way. He was 15m out. Have a shot.

                          Is it too early to say that "Sinclair is the new Joey daniher"?

                                Now, Dean, if you want Buddy to give you the ball again, you'll have to do more than bang it into the point post.
