      Wow, don't want to lose % in the second half, key to that is keeping their score low.

      Whilst we are flying I have to say Robbo & Marsh are not AFL standard, we can improve our 22 by trying other players in lieu, these two provide very little.

      Florent has shown so much tonight, we've seen glimpses but he's starting to look like a top 10 selection, very exciting in his development. Hayward we know is a gun, some of his marks are special , pick 21 a bargain. Ronke continues to add to our team. Loving the genuine mateship beteween all thgose small forwards, great to watch even if hairdressing leaves a bit to be desired!

      Foot to the throat boys, we need the %!

          The Leader of the Opposition has gone to the movies . Daughter 1 who is Vegan entertaining friends just delivered my dinner to the man cave which is remarkably tasty.
          Haven?t had to move from the couch watching the Swans and Rafa .

            I don't agree. First, they are among the least experienced on the field at this level. Second, someone has to be the 22nd best player and no team can field a 22 made up of all players that would find a spot in any other team. Not saying that either of them are among our best 22 but both of them deserve to be out there and I think Marsh in particular has shown he is good enough to play at this level.

            That said it would be nice to see what O'Riordan has to offer too.

              Yes he just got a goal but I've liked Rohan's game tonight, he looks sharp and some of his pressure acts have been excellent......I know some will counter with, "it's against a weak side.....it's in a one sided game" but I'm liking what I see. Confidence building......

                I've seen a few things tonight that tell me we won't win a premiership with Marsh and Robinson in our side.

                  1. That's a lot different to saying they are not AFL standard.

                  2. If Melican is unavailable and we have to select Marsh for finals, I will be quite comfortable and have full confidence in him to do the job that is asked of him. Likewise if some other best 22 players are unavailable and we have to call on Robbo.

                    I think that Papley deserved that goal, for the goal saving chase down that he did at the other end.
                    Though Ronke's chasing has been even more impressive.

                      The chasing and pressure by the swans has been outstanding. Sitting near the boundary and it is a joy to watch the work rate. Yes I know the opposition isn't the best but we are still not letting up. Ronke in particular never gives up.

                          I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                            Harry C is having a very good year and he?s always had excellent foot skills. I hope he keeps it up

                              Good win. Too bad we faded at the end and let them with the last quarter. Lots of great performances, especially from the youngsters: Ronke, Florent, Hayward, Papley, Heeney, Hewett. Hanners down on form and JPK still below his best.

                                Solid win. There wasn't much wrong with that effort. I love our ferocity at the contest. Now to just bring that intensity every week.
