#AFL Round 23 Swans v Saints Sat 24-Aug at SCG #AFLSwansSaints @sydneyswans

- Still on above, today highlighted what we can do at the contest if we can compete in the ruck.
- I think I wrote off Ronke too early. Looked really good today and should enter 2020 full of confidence.

I agree on the above two sentiments. The first was the same back in 2016 even before the 6-6-6 rule and why Naismith got the run in the GF. The new rule makes it even more important.

On Ronke I was impressed with the foot skills he gave us today which matched the effort he put in. A couple of times earlier this year I had said the same about him - but with his body not right this was because his effort had not been good and his disposal and decision aligned. His fitness and effort are key to him being a contributor in the future as he just isn’t the most natural footballer - but if you look back at 05 and 12 we had a few of them as well!

There's two great photo's in the article linked by Meg in her above post.

In the first one (post Kizza's goal) Buddy is on the left.....he's either spent or he's just realising his need for a couple of off-season surgeries.

The second one at the bottom is a beauty!

Lovely to see Hanners so involved - social media suggests the fraternisation lasted long into the night.

Lol, I thought that might happen!

Was Jones at the game yesterday? I noticed the NEAFL players and those that are out injured were out on the ground at end...(and singing the song)... but I couldn't see Jones on the tv.

Yes. He was there in the circle singing the song.

Jones was there in the circle singing strongly!

Great game with a great finish!
After many disappointing TV games regarding the commentary etc, I though Foxtel did a great job and was very happy that they continued the coverage until after the song etc, made it memorable for those that couldn't get to the game/

Will re-sign for certain then. It's well known that there is a strong link between boisterous singing of the team song and
being a one team player. Likewise any player found guilty of just mouthing the words and not tickling the ear or ruffling the
the hair of the player next to him should be put on the trade table immediately.

Imagine if they let Hanners in. I reckon he would've belted our the song louder than most. Would that have warranted us trading him back in ?????

Dawson gone then!

Well, now that he seems to be fit again. Though I was a bit disappointed with his game on the weekend. I don't think that he managed to kick it straight to one of our players even once.

He hung back after the Saints warm-up, spent a lot of time with the Swans coaches then jogged over to McVeigh for a hug. It was almost like he never left, just had the wrong jumper on!
