#AFL Rd 17 Sydney v North, ES, 15 July 2018 @SydneySwans #NorthSwans

We are getting pinged every time we get tackled without prior and the ball spills free.....the type of stuff our opponents constantly get away with.

Par for the course. Aliir was great against Brown then, Hayward showing some footy smarts. Good stuff.

The htb to Higgins ????????@??

On the plus side we’ll get to have a look at the new generation in the midfield

Clear dropping of the ball from Goldstein, no free. Disgraceful, biased umpiring. Horse needs to speak up.

[MarshallG]

Our tackles are no longer as effective as they used to be.

... and while I'm in a grumpy mood, too many 30cm handbills

Aliir just needed a bit more self assurance to go to the next level.

North M handballs to a bit of grass , I like it.

The umpiring has been @@@@house! But thankfully we are playing well enough to still be in front! That was a clear mark to O'Riordan!

Great footy, and an excellent performance by us in the second quarter, but this umpiring is so remarkably poor it's not funny.

And I usually steer clear of the match day thread, and specifically commenting on umpiring. Woeful.

[Swannette]

Yea but we're in front by 13 and there were less turnovers. Good signs

Yep . At my age I can’t read em .

COR, just a half of football but you know he's got it, early call but looking best 22.

We've found some this year, McCartin could be anything, Ronke is a ripper and now COR. More to come too :-)

If we're ahead it makes it interesting when the umps need to square up. Unbelievably terrible umpiring.

Great quarter by the entire team. Aliir is growing in confidence before our eyes, COR doesn’t look as if he’s playing his first game, and all the lesser lights have been composed. Disposal efficiency has been pretty good. And all without JPK and with Parker not dominating.
