    Really good game and I like that we're not relying on Kennedy or Parker.

    The love for Heeney and Mills is growing. They are fearless.

    We need to start reading Nic Nat's taps.

      The stats are reasonably even around the ground. NicNat has more hitouts but we have more clearances

      The difference is in the forward 50 entry efficiency where we have Buddy and they are missing Kennedy.

        Natanui getting ruck taps but not hurting us - he will slow down in the second half.

        Really hard to be critical in the first half, but we need to keep pushing.

          I don't think we are looking as sharp as a few other sides this round. I thought we would be able to move the ball more cleanly. We got better in the 2nd qtr and hopefully it picks ups in this half.
          While its great to play superb footy in rd 1, ill be happy to get a win and off on the right track to be perfectly honest. Its been scrappy at times but with some good stuff mixed in.

            And Jetta picking out our backmen is also helpful. Maybe it's still force of habit: just aim for the red and white.

              Sinclair is looking good.

                Scrappyish at times, but I think that the tackling pressure has been good from both sides. Surprisingly good from West Coast, as they were quite soft in the JLT. Though I got the feeling that they were starting to drop off towards the end of the half.
                Feeling confident for the second half. Our defence was excellent in the second quarter, so I don't really see the Weagles kicking a winning score.

                              Zac Jones is a dumb footballer. We have a bloke who has kicked 7 and he chips across centre for a potential 2 goal turnaround.

                                Adam Papalia as a commentator is a pain in the arse. We get it you aren?t a swans fan.
