Match Thread. Swans v Geelong.

That was a big last minute from the umps. So glad to be on the positive receiving end for the first time in the match. Made up for all the non-calls. What a gutsy win from our cygnets. Can't wait to watch Scott's presser.

Yes, saw that. Pathetic. Now we have Jackie Felgate on Seven, a Cats fan, saying 'we were robbed'. It will be the focus of all the game reports and the crap umpiring from the rest of the game will be conveniently bypassed.

Perhaps she, and any other Cat fans that whinge, can be reminded of their win over Brisbane earlier in the year.

Tom Hickey gets Man of the Match from me.

Yep....how good is his dodgy knee? Brilliant.

[Velour&Ruffles]

Sinclair, Hayward, McLean....the weakest links in the squad. Hope we get rid of them next season.

Feeling as if you went off half cocked?

He has been magnificent so far this year.

For ANYONE interested meters gained
Florent 645. ROWBOTTOM 573 Dawson 561.

Great stats. Anyone who says Rowbottom is a hack needs a reality check. He was fantastic and that one handed mark was sublime. I'm stoked he plays for us.

Thought all three were excellent tonight. Nice goal under pressure from Rowbottom when needed too - hopefully he will build nicely on a good performance tonight and build a good run of form.

How much of a difference does Hickey make though - astounding the difference. What was really wrong with the knee lol!

How pathetically bitter was that moment. Embarrassing to say something like that on national tv. The footy equivalent of 'this isn't meant to be be [racist/sexist/whatever] but....'

If he keeps it up, we all might have to chip in a few dollars, for a Tom Hickey statue outside the SCG.

He was colossal. I'm happy to retract my initial comments on Hickey when we first recruited him. He has been an inspired pick up.

Where is TheBloods?

Thinking real hard to come up with his usual “critique” - he might do us all a favour & say nothing.(it doesn’t hurt to dream)

It's like the Swans saw something in him but also were maybe thinking 'this guy will be at his 4th club, he'll know it's his last chance, he's not gonna blow it'........bloody great recruiting!

[Velour&Ruffles]

I wonder if Chris Scott will have the deranged gall to complain about the umpiring?

Seriously? Of course he will.
