      As I said Ludwig - I'm not convinced such a faint sound is always going to be ball touching post. Why should we just 'accept the accuracy' when its just suddenly been implemented seemingly between one round and the next (happy to be corrected if I'm wrong). I just think its opening up a massive can of worms when, as the picture in the thread suggests, its going to be very hard to conclusively line the two up - especially when reliant on cameras zoomed in a long way away.

      Anyway, back on the game. We did well to hold off a Free Kick fuelled Dogs in that quarter - shame Budster missed that kick late as that would have left us very well placed. Indeed we've missed several quite gettable shots that means they are still in the game. But I've been impressed about how we have tactically thought through the game today - a lot of maturity shown and a clear game plan that so far has worked.

      Come on boys - finish the job!

        Like I say, when you really need him, he breaks out the brown polish.

              Good tough effort to extend our lead. Listening to the 7 commentary, you'd think that the Bulldogs were being shafted by a one sided umpiring display. Wonder what they would sound like, if it wasn't 21-13 in their favour?

                Ive only seen the game since half time. I reckon the frees since then are 10-2 plus 2 oof - 1 bull@@@@ against Papley as it was already out.

                Looks like we might be playing GWS in Melbourne - probably good for us.

                  That's not Harry's fault. The frees I mean....

                    Another great quarter. Really impressed with our boys.

                    I know people don't like the umpires being mentioned but some of the decisions (and non decisions) that quarter were baffling. There are a lot of frustrated supporters here (including myself) going nuts!

                    Keep it up Swans !!

                      There was no deviation and that is normally taken into account. That umpire I the box is just as corrupt as the other bastards

                        Agree with that. I guess with the Swans in front, the Dogs need a little bit of help from their friends. But will it be enough to carry them to victory?
