    Really? Can you imagine West Coast getting a count like this over there? You have not played the game if you think free kicks are nothing. They have had 4-5 rubbish ones - and missed 2-3 of ours. Makes a difference.

        Don't know what's pissing me off more: the atrocious umpiring or the incessant dribble of the Channel 7 commentators?

          Agree. It's like being kicked when you're down.....and I honestly think a lot of AFL umpires take pleasure in doing this to us.....and I think it's taxing on the players mentally. It makes a difference for sure....

              Two weeks in a row we get pumped by the umpires in the first 1/4 - honestly it can be just bad luck. Imagine this count in Perth or Adelaide - they'd be tearing the joint down - whether the frees are there or not.

                It's the same as last week, started well and then fell away.

                We really have to kick better to our forwards. As soon as it goes to ground the crows take it all the way to the other end.

                Did I hear a different song at quarter time???

                Great mark and goal Blakey to start the quarter!

                  BTW: Frees 9 - 1 now......
                  Hard to believe that the whole Adelaide team in a full 20 minutes of football contravened the rules only once!

                    Blakeys going to be a gun. I just hope that he reaches a great standard whilst we still have Buddy. Buddy deserves a Swans premiership more than anyone.

                      Hewett and Jones pretty ordinary so far.

                        As a Swans supporter I'm used to it. I get shocked if our ratio is in the positive.

                            Honestly, some of our handball is so unintelligent at times.

                                Yes, we only have a count for free kicks paid.....when you consider the one's 'not paid', it becomes galling.
