Positives:
We broken even in clearances and contested possessions in the first half
Ollie got a lot of the ball
Heeney went OK
Menzel's best game for the Swans, even if he went round the corner for a simple set shot and missedComment

I think Florent took a big step today - he was more influential than Kennedy or Parker. Hewitt was good in a tagging role. We HAVE to hang on to Menzel. He can play and we don't have a lot of clever forwards when Buddy is not playing.Comment

Yes, disappointing performance and Port were the better side, but it does drive me insane, when there's one set of rules for one side and a far more lenient set for the other.
Anyway, looking at the NEAFL scores, it seems like it was an excellent final quarter by our youngsters, so since I missed it, I'm going back to YouTube to have a look at that.Comment

Trolls aside, we are getting smashed from pillar to post in the clearances, both centre and around the ground. JPK is not the player he once was. Maybe with a full off season, he might refresh and get a second wind, but if not we are in big trouble, even with fit ruckmen back - JPK has been a big part of our success since he arrived, and now needs back up.Comment

Yep, agree with that. Plus Hewett did a good job on Boak and Rampe was good in an under siege defence.Comment

The season is done anyway. I'd give Rose 2 more games - he is just such a standout at NEAFL level. Not going to cost us much if it doesn't work out. May as well bring Melican in as well. Anyone with niggles let them finish now if they are open to it. Would be good to see Knoll given a run but he hasn't bashed down the door either.Comment

Disappointing but it became a men vs boys to a large extent, so I'm philosophical rather than critical. And there were some good performances from Rampe, Ollie, Zak, Menzel and Ronke. Heeney was outstanding but our mids found it hard going against the battle-hardened Port.
The umpiring was forgettable.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Kennedy 24 disposals 8 clearances
Ollie 29 and 9
I know Hewett tagged Boak effectively, but it also meant he wasn't winning so much of the ball. Not sure if that's a win?Comment

Hewitt got a pretty good amount of ball but we have to try and shutdown their best player don't we? I guess Clarke could have had a go but might be too short for Boak.
EDIT - I knew I should have checked it! Clarke is supposedly 1cm taller than Boak!Comment
