Match Thread: Fremantle v Swans

[dejavoodoo44]

Now, who was it that reckoned that Buddy could no longer give it a roost?

[Daisi]

ABC commentator: "It's Buddy Franklin's world, we're all just living in it!!"

I love Buddy's world....it rains goals...

[Mel_C]

Why was that free paid against Hayward when he tackled the Freo player over the boundary line?

[goswannies]

Hickey working very hard but lost agility & what pace he has and don’t think he’s kicked since the injury. Straight to handball

[Daisi]

How is Hickey still playing? Crazy man...and please Freo supporters stop booing Buddy- it's tasteless and disgusting...and Warner is playing well ...

[The Runner]

With 40 seconds to go, Hayward needed to punch that footy out of bounds. He tried the impossible hanger. They should have got a goal from it. Terrible game awareness

[Legs Akimbo]

Teammates need to call to him to tell him he’s hot. Sheesh. It’s done at U16 level. Not all Blakey’s fault

If only that was all it was. He stuffed up 5 times in a row. He just to stop trying to be clever when basics will do.

[Foreign Legion]

Mills playing very well - got him at 101 for the Brownlow - still a long shot.

McLean gone missing but a wet night I guess. We are not playing well but still in front we need to keep the pressure on.

Mills is having one hell of a game.

As for Buddy world, it reminds me of that great line in Seinfeld from George when Kramer went to a fantasy camp: “He doesn’t need to go to a fantasy camp. His whole life is a fantasy camp.”

[Legs Akimbo]

Mills has been terrific. Buddy strutting. Paps and Chad have been creators.

[Ludwig]

Blakey is a more clown than footballer.

I predict that you'll be very interested on Brownlow night.

I am now convinced that Blakey is simply a poor kick on the run.

Heeney's use of the ball has been very ordinary. He doesn't look like doing anything when he gets it. Shallow kicks and hand passes to players in poor position.

[Bangalore Swans]

Did any one else laugh when Blakey was caught holding the ball, and he did not even see the tackler coming from his left side?

I’ve been defending Blakey. Hoping he has a good 2nd half.

So how confusing. According to the commentator we were being killed in the clearances in the first. Now he says we are murdering them rin the clearances. Very confusing. I know we got plenty of clearances in the second but he stated we had no wins at one stage in the first when we had at least 2 centre clearances. Confusing.

I would prefer we didn't give the ball up so much but other mwise we are playing pretty well. I see Fox is out. Clarke had better be good because the bloke he replaced is. Buddy having a day out today. Maybe there is fight in the old dog yet. Giving Logue a bath.


The game is scrappy due to the weather. But it is also the way Dockers play. They get plenty of players at the stoppages and clag everything up. They want to get an advantage by having more players at the ball so they can run it Tigers style.
