Swans now below Carlton on the ladder

Embarrassing.....but I'm happy the 'fairypups' lost. Pretenders....

[stevoswan]

Only four teams have scored over 100 pts so far this round and Crows-Suns 9-2 at quarter time. 6-6-6 not working. Stephen Hocking.....muppett.

Encroaching into the protected space rule seems to have been dropped. Richmond players continually ran past within a few metres of a Swans player who had a mark or free, and they weren't following a Swans player. Has happened in most games I have watched this weekend.

Good. Ridiculous rule.

Which invariably gets resurrected when we encroach.....

Do the AFL website keep up putting pics of Gary Rohan in a Geelong jumper just to annoy the Swans? This photo on their main page apparently represents the Hawks v Cats today.....

While he's going ok, he's hardly 'lighting it up!'

I see the deplorable Hawk fans are booing Gary Ablett every time he goes near the ball, a la Buddy.....I'm sure it's not because he 'liked' Folou's tweet either, they are not that socially aware surely. What is wrong with them?

Good to see him doing well, deserves it after everything he's been through.

Well Ablett has stuck it up the Hawks fans with those 2 goals. I'm at the game and the booing is disgraceful. I just don't get booing a champion when they haven't done anything dirty.

I wondered whether the Swans side is missing his presence in 2019?

Without a doubt.

Maybe it was just the weight of expectation at the swans? We did ride his back a fair bit at times. He would have zero expectations on him at the cats considering the number of targets in front of goals they have there.

It helps when the ball goes in there a bit more! Seriously he’s a talented player and he seems to be thriving in a new environment , no great science to it .
