Match Day Thread Rnd 21 Sydney V Fremantle. SCG. 13.45 pm.

Is there a schedule for SCG matches offering kick-to-kick after the game (weather permitting)?

It is sometimes hard for teams to switch back to high intensity football after such a soft outing. I was worried for a little but that we were trying to be a little cute with our disposal at times in the third quarter, but you really can't ask anything more of a team. It was a dominant performance that was rewarded with a big percentage boost.

Watching a few of last years games and I'd forgotten Aliir is a great spoiler, long arms, good leap, good timing. Might need him next week against Crows tall forwards.

Think Sinclair and Tippett are line ball when Naismith is fit again. You can't say that Tippett didn't try yesterday, had a game high 8 tackles I believe.

Any word on Newman?

Didn't see the coverage, and missed the incident at the ground.

Only real downside to an absolute flogging

Naismith is probably the best tap ruckman we have, but while first hand on the ball can be advantageous it does not guarantee continued possession. Sinclair and Tippett also both offer more around the ground. So while I'd like to see Naismith running around again, I wouldn't have him replacing either of the other two at present.

There is never kick to kick on night games. Unfortunately we play a lot of night games. I don't think we, Swans fans and members, asked for night games. I think most Swans fans would prefer day or twilight games. maybe RWO could do a survey and then we could send it to the AFL.

I'd happily trade some friday night games for some more early afternoon games

Me too - let the whingers from the west who want Friday night games have them.

All about TV rights and the night games are for the successful clubs so whilst I really want day games they come with being not so successful.

How many 50-metre penalties does this equate to for more than 18 players on the ground?

Not enough for freo to win ????

It's the swans admin who request and get night games. Night games = ratings = sponsors = $$$$.

If you want kick to kick after every game, go to spotless.

Jeez this sites a bit dull when we've won by over 100 and everyone's played well

Yes. I'm wondering whether we should, for this week only, refer to the opposition as Fre - because they've been dis-mantled. Boom-tish!

How good was #thedifference.

Next week:
Out: Newman (injury)
In: Kennedy

2 massive wins = the team balance is better without Kennedy.
Surely he has to come back through the reserves and earn his spot....

Towers has overtaken him.

Under testing - his straight line running was fine, but the docs weren't happy with his change of direction. Considering the state of the game they put him in ice.

Wait and see I guess.

Was I watching a different game?
I'm not a basher but I thought Tippo was pretty ordinary again. I could see that he was trying hard but Sinclair seems well in front at this point of the season

I thought Sinclair stood out in the 1st, but Tippo was the better of the two across the rest of the game.

The noticeable thing between the two is Tippett is absolutely horrendous below his knees, but is significantly more physical and more of a presence.

In both games (last 2) I was surprised that Tippo played predominately forward and Sinclair predominately ruck. On form I would have it the other way, unless the decision on Naismith has already been made and it's Sinclair out - Naismith in.
