Round 8 Swans v Hawthorn MCG Friday May 11 7.50 pm

[707]

Also, I haven't seen him mentioned yet, but Cunningham quietly claims another scalp this year. Shut down the potentially damaging Isaac Smith who had just 16 disposals tonight and Harry had 27 himself.

Wow, great stuff from Harry, and Hewett kept the leagues leading possession winner to? well bugger all really!

[stevoswan]

That was a win for Kinnear Beatson. I hope he never retires.

Kinnear Beatson, genius and now with Simon Dalrymple........recruiting dream team of the future.

Do we declare that Horse out coached Clarkson tonight? The players were great.......and I think Horse was too.

Interesting question. Who has the better list?

Parker has been reported, but he should be OK unless you are no longer allowed to bend down turn and try to grab the ball. Accidental contact to Impys head .

He only turned because Impey got the tiniest of touches to push the ball past Parker. I can understand why he will get a week or two for it, but I don't think he should at the same time.

How can Robinson get a game, he is simply not good enough, but due to injuries , he keeps getting picked. But its like having one player down each time. Tries hard but just doesn't have what it takes

Horse keeps his job for another week. I?m a bit confused - is he back to being a good game day coach? And no longer Clarko?s bunny. Until next time?

[stevoswan]

52 more possessions, 11 more clearances but 24 less inside 50's, it's a funny game........and our defense was awesome tonight!

If Tom Mitchell can elbow Todd Goldstein in the back of the head and get away with it, I'm sure McVeigh will be fine. It's all about the impact and the result of the contact for the AFL MRP.

I believe Hewitt was tagging Mitchell. Haven't seen the stats but Hewitt seemed to have more impact than Titch.

[stevoswan]

Monumental win and an enjoyable weekend ahead for all! I'm off to bed, got to get up at 5.30 for work tomorrow. Goodnight all.......I'll sleep happy.

I agree. It looks bad in slow motion. Parker was going for the ball but Impey got his foot to the ball to kick it past Parker making it look worse than it actually was.

Just saw the highlights of Ronke's goals again - what about that brilliant 6th goal - superb work!!!

Yes, that was my favourite. Looked to be trapped, but then he was out of there.

[Kumarangk]

Great win with some great efforts from our youngsters. May be wrong but jack & Smiths efforts this year should put them back into the ressies.It will never happen but if it does embarrassment sometimes is the biggest motivator.

[Sandridge]

Absolutely magnificent win by the mighty Bloods!
A win over the hated Hawks and a whole weekend to bask in the glory! ????

Yes, Cunningham, Jones and Lloyd were all really good tonight, with the way they were constantly providing options to bring it out of defense.

[Foreign Legion]

That running backwards mark by Rohan was a game winner .

Yep that was the game changing moment!
