#AFL Round 18 Dockers v Swans Sat 20-Jul at Optus Stadium #AFLDockersSwans @sydneyswans

If Rowbottom continues to develop and the coaches keep giving him an opportunity to play in the middle he is going to be one hell of a great selection in the 2nd round!

He's made 3 excellent long kicks. McLean is going insanely well for a first gamer!

McLean's stats so far: 5 kicks, 5 handballs, 5 marks, 7 tackles, 11 hit out's and 75 fantasy points before half time. Impressive.

that was picked up in the pre season!

Hayden McLean BOG at halftime

[swannymum]

Apparently Aliir is not well, has been vomiting, no wonder he isn’t as sharp as usual

[stevoswan]

Half time and we have 5 free kicks.....mind you they only have 8.....but 5 in a half of footy? As I said earlier, I'm not watching the match....

McLean is putting his hand up to play again next week. I remember Horse saying that he was a competitor. He's certainly shown that. Stoddart has had some good / bad moments. Hope he retains his spot. I'm liking Fox too. He's having a ripper.

McLean has hugely exceeded my expectations as a ruckman after watching him in the ressies. Glad to be totally wrong. Looks like we have picked up another one

And the Aussie women are 7/408 in 1st inns. Wow! Ashes in the kitbag. Diamonds are 3 goals up last quarter- ooh tight match.

Not sure if he's ever got 75 fantasy points in a NEAFL game? Though there, he largely plays deep forward.

What a difference it makes being able to play Reid forward and Aliir back. It changes our structures. And McLean is doing well in the ruck. Hopefully Aliir is ok with his illness.

I'm disappointed in McCartin today. But he's only young and I'm sure he will improve in the second half.

I think Blakey's hands can't keep up with his feet when he runs and bounces the ball! I love when he goes on those long runs.

Go Swans, keep it up ????.

I think that Freo only getting three goals in a half, is a good indication of how well our defence is playing. Rampe superb once again, with good assistance from Lloyd, Mills, O'Riordan and Aliir. Also glad that Stoddart was able to show his class just before half time: firstly winning a tough ground ball, to start the move that ended up with Reid goaling, and then hitting Fox with a lovely pass for another goal.
On the other hand, us scoring only five goals, is probably not a reflection of the game. Should be a bit further in front. McLean playing a fun debut. Kennedy, Parker and Rowbottom good in the middle. Heeney starting to impose himself. Hopefully, one or two of our forwards will impose themselves in the second half and we'll kick away.

[Markwebbos]

That passage of play was sublime. Hope McCartin can kick it...

Nah

[Danzar]

The worst part of our game this season has been our disposal, with kicks to a turnover the absolute worst. Tonight our handballs are sublime.
