R17 Vs Lions @ CAZALY'S

[mcs]

Better last 10 minutes there, but really needed another goal to put a bit of pressure on Brisbane. But I think despite the yukky scoreboard we've done a lot right tonight.

Liking the look of Stephens - the kid has some real class about him. Going to be a slow burner I think that takes some time to build up into it, but there is a lot to like.

This. Back line is starting to function well, even without Rampe. Midfield shows some promise with work to be done. Forward line is a basket case at the moment. Just can't take a mark, slow entries, static and no structure. has to be a major focus over the off season.

Yep with rampe fully fit we have the backline of a priemership team. We have a developing midfield but an absolute cluster @@@@ of a forward line

Amartey’s tap work has been better than Sinclair’s.

A sore spot where a scan shows something is not right. I believe with a bone in the foot. Players usually rest a hot spot for a couple of weeks. You keep playing on it and something will give.

Thanks for that. Before Taylor was selected the other week I remember Longmire saying that he had a foot niggle so he had been rested. It's obviously flared up.

They don't want to give Paps a free.

Since the staging incident I don't think the umpires haven't given him a free.

Jonathan Brown says Papley's management has announced he's staying with the Swans!

I was thinking the same. At least we had a crack that quarter.

Going in to this round, we were scoring an average of 52.4 points a game, ranking 16th, ahead of only Fremantle (48.2) and Adelaide (48.1) and just behind Norf (52.6).

Gotta love watching AA streaming down the wing bouncing the ball

[Daisi]

Nice by AA- great work, and nice goal- Is Hayward a forward option?

[mcs]

I liked that from Aliir, despite the messy end to it. Good to see. And that is a far better time to use that kick from Blakey - not that I think Hayward was really expecting it.

[Markwebbos]

Wouldn't mind another decade of that from Blakey!

- - - Updated - - -

Swans all over them right now

[mcs]

Beautiful from Blakey - that was a glorious kick. Parker does the job.

Low scoring game, but I reckon this has been a pretty entertaining game of footy.

[dejavoodoo44]

Ahh, what's that odd feeling? Is it optimism?

[mcs]

Bugger.

[dejavoodoo44]

Well, that was nice while it lasted.
