    Cal Sinclair's last couple of months, including time in the twos, have been really good. I admit he was down against the Hawks but if all our team played with his determination and heart and 100% effort we'd never lose. He is a true blood.

      But I fear we won't be invited back.
      Top night, and sparkling footy by our boys. Great energy across all 4 quarters.

        Yep I thought he had a real crack again tonight - and I didn't think Tippo was awful either. Sinclair's attitude has always been top notch since coming to the Swans. He is far from the most gifted footballer going around, but his heart and determination is right up there. Has a crack every time, even when he has a bad game like he did last week.

As you said, "If you're going to be critical get your facts right."
          Are you seriously making an issue of this? I know you love attacking me but at least make your allegations realistic.

          Your exact original wording was; "Utterly delicious that Selwood doing his usual drop and duck garbage caused the injury ". His "dropping and ducking" was not the cause of his injury. The injury occurred when he jumped for a ball and twisted his ankle on a teammates foot.

          Even dejavoodoo44 admitted "First one was jumping onto his own player's foot. The second one, which ended his night, was in the Franklin tackle."

          Fair dinkum. If you are representitive of Swan supporters our opponents are justifies in their criticism of us.

              Incredible.

              Lose to the Hawks by 6 points ... first loss since Round 6 ... many on RWO turn on the players & coaches.

              Beat the Cats by nearly 8 goals ... RWO turn on each other.

                So who are you directing this criticism towards? Me or V&R? If it's me, you might want to check who initiated this.

                Unfortunately there are certain posters who get personal when it comes to the posting of particular individuals.

                  He's an exciting kid. Have you noticed just how excited he gets every time we kick a goal. Will seems to live it big time. That mark he took tonight was just sensational. I don't have a clue if people understand just how hard what he did is?

                  By the way the umpiring was mixed tonight. Down one end it was good but on Nichols end it was toxic.

I'm talking about the next incident, when he was tackled by Buddy and got his ankle snagged because he was sloping down and staging for a free kick rather than doing anything positive - as per normal.

                      His marking for a kid that still looks about 14 in body size is superb

                                SS Bleeder apparently didn't notice a player going off, being strapped up, doing run throughs, coming back on, being the subject of much praise from the commentators for his bravery (there should be a statue of him next to Simpson and his Donkey), competing for most of a quarter and then eventually getting injured in a separate incident. Make of that what you will. I make no comment.
                                You clearly don't know the meaning of the word "attack". You chose to have go at what I said to someone else and I responded with some facts. What you posted was an "attack". What I posted was a "response". If you want to have a crack at someone have a go at the various commentators and medicos who all agreed that the second incident, which ended Selwood's night, caused a different injury to the first. Or live in your own world of fantasy and denial. Either is fine by me.
