#AFL Round 17 Swans v Blues Sat 13-Jul at SCG #AFLSwansBlues @sydneyswans

Bloody hell that quarter doesn't inspire confidence. One of our worst for the year. Missing bloody easy set shots doesn't help.

Parker and Dawson looking OK. I think it is bull@@@@ that the potential for report is based on the result. The INTENT is surely the most important thing. Dawson will probably get 2 weeks as I no longer understand the rules we operate under.

Jack setting the standard with his hard running off the ball.

- - - Updated - - -



And a distinctively poor chase from Ronke enabled them to waltz forward from their defence to score.

His work rate this year Ronke is way down.

Tight tough footy, but we are getting beaten so far at the fall of the ball. Wind making it tough to judge marks it seems.

[Ralph Dawg]

Reid is actually a pretty handy ruckman. It's like hes auditioning to become the next Tippett - threatening ruck / forward but built of straw

[MattW]

Hewett and Parker are working well together. Apart from the first Casboult mark, Melican is reading well in difficult conditions. Mills has been good, Heeney busy, Dawson has kicked beautifully again.

Ronke's confidence is low and it's affecting his touches and work rate.

I suppose that 2 - 5 to 2 - 5 is a fair reflection of the quarter. Even but uninspiring. Good that we sorted out the clearances.

[Foreign Legion]

I reckon Kieren Jack might play a big role today - just a funny feeling not based on his year so far.

[Mel_C]

Just like last week we are dropping marks and fumbling the ball. We can't stick our tackles either. Did I hear right that we only had 3 tackles in the last quarter last week?

Is the wind making conditions tricky? It's hard to tell on the tv.

Speaking of the tv, the camera work is terrible. The vision shown is too far away and you can't see who has the ball.

I think Dawson might be in trouble for that bump ????.

[Nico]

In the first quarter Carlton kicked to Melicans opponent all the time. His indecisiveness with the footy in hand is over the top and couldnt hit the broadside of a barn with a hand full of wheat from a foot away. Huge weakness in our backline.

[Foreign Legion]

That contest in the goalsquare was terrible - way too easy with about 20 players there.

[Foreign Legion]

A Carlton throw is OK - ours aren't.

For God's sake someone kick a goal from a set shot.

[Ralph Dawg]

Haywards shocking kicking is costing our team. How long can we keep putting up with it?

Yeah, the wind is tricky - affecting the flight of the ball in different ways in different parts of the ground. Explains poor kicking and marking to some extent.

[Foreign Legion]

Bloody embarrassing at the moment. NEAFL grade football by us.

Could someone PLEASE PLEASE teach Will Hayward how to kick straight. His misses are getting really annoying.

Agreed.
