Match Thread. Swans v Hawthorn

[Velour&Ruffles]

Appears O.Meara was reported for the hit on Hayward. Why no free kick?

It's the application of the same rule that a few weeks ago saw Fox poked in the eye so comprehensively that he had to be subbed out and miss weeks, but somehow not only not get a free kick for over the shoulder contact but actually be penalised in that incident.

But yes, we need to lift our game in a big way for this second half

[Bangalore Swans]

Clarko always gets up for the Swans. Seems to have Longmire’s measure since 2012.

[Markwebbos]

I see the rotund Taylor is on

[Foreign Legion]

Fox is too small for most of their forwards - not his fault. Brand should have played.

[Mel_C]

Taylor is out there so the sub has been activated. Is it for Cunningham or Hayward?

[Wardy]

What’s with Newcombe hair?? Did his mum cut it?

Tom Mitchell has turned into a right F...wit.

[stevoswan]

We look very tired and flat. Umps not helping. Two 6 day breaks versus refreshed team doesn't help.

Exactly....this was always going to be a danger game. The signs of tiredness have been showing for a few rounds now.

I hope we can we find something.....come on BLOODS!!

Hayward.....concussion.

I forgot McDonald was even olaying

[Mel_C]

Did you know that Newcombe is on debut? I had no idea and I have to be reminded every time he touches the ball.

[Foreign Legion]

Bell hit without Frost looking at the ball - play on of course.

[stevoswan]

Because of course you can't give the Swans an obvious free in front of goal. It's laughable.

[The Runner]

The no call on Bell was the worst of the night

[Foreign Legion]

@@@@ me Ive seen it all Rampe HTB in 45 milliseconds. And some say umpiring has no influence.

[stevoswan]

What we don't get paid is so quickly and so readily paid to the opposition. I feel like vomiting.
