I've noticed in games so far, players deciding to take the advantage after their team have earnt a free or mark and putting themselves under immediate pressure. With the new man on the mark rule the advantage in most cases will be to stop and take the kick, as you will have more options to find attacking targets. Players will need to adjust and stop just blindly playing on as they've been previously drilled to do so.Comment

"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Other than that, the game is quite similar to ours. The Suns gave the Eagles a three goal start, before gradually turning the tide and getting in front in the second quarter.Comment

"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

It would be a tragedy if it’s season ending. He was the best first year player in a generation last year and a few experts tipped him for the Brownlow this year.
Fingers crossed it’s minorComment

Matt Rowell set to miss half the season. Frustrating and unfair on the kid.....and the luckless Suns.
Rowell avoids surgery, but set for lengthy stint on sidelinesComment

I went to the Giants v St Kilda game. I dont think you could read much about anything from the results. Both teams could have won, and were missing a heap of players. Giants used to have a forward line of Cameron, Findlayson and Riccardi. One left, and the other two didnt play. When you have Keefe as your key forward, times are tough. St Kilda also had a heap of players out.
I think both will be around the bottom of the 8. Giants simply lack composure. I'm sure a new coach or the equivalent of a Don Pyke assistant is what they need.Comment

Himmelberg was their key forward. He had a good game, as did their new vice captain, the Toby. I'd put the Giants in the 6th to 10th

Himmelberg, Hogan, Perryman?
Toby, Findlayson, Riccardi
Looks a bit top heavy. But I guess Hogan is a long shot so maybe its:
Daniels, Himmelberg, Perryman
Toby, Findlayson, Riccardi.Comment

still have three tall forwards which is handy. It'll be interesting to see how the troubled Hogan works out for them.Comment
