    Actually, probably not a lot.....but you know how the tribunal will see it.

      Good win in the end even if the last quarter was a bit 'meh'. But a win is a win, and we were able to conserve a bit of energy too which is not a bad thing. But would have been nice to kick a few more for a bit of a percentage boost.

        The last quarter was a bit ordinary. We went out to protect the lead not increase the margin. We should have put our foot on the pedal and destroyed them. We need % badly if we want to be top 4

          Another 2% gain today. We have gained 14% in the last 3 weeks.......very handy at the business end of the season.

            Bell was great. Many score involvements. Great reward for effort un the third quarter. They were gassed in the last. Next week is a danger game. The looked very tired and aore after the game.

              Was just going to write much the same thing. Though it as a measure of how our expectations have changed, that many of us are probably slightly disappointed, that we didn't beat Fremantle by more than 40 points.

                We still outscored them in the last.....not too bad when the cue is essentially in the rack and we're in preservation mode with a view to the next few weeks.

                  According to Stevo, Stephens is not delivering off the field.

                  I would love to know more detail on how Stephens is not delivering off the field.
                  He refuses to get snacks and drinks from the vending machine at the team hotel and deliver them to Buddy's room.

                    Shuey apologized; Buddy didn't. Goes to the question of intent.

                      Yeah and so we should have with Fyfe out. Lose Fyfe and you lose at least 18 disposals in the second half. We coasted in the last.

                        Faux regret with an eye on his pending penalty.....a shallow apology perhaps?

                          Routine win got the job done

                          Shame we didn’t do the same earlier in the season we could’ve been % from 3rd spot

                            Errol was just interviewed on ABC Radio. He's very articulate.

                              As I said, with a view to the coming weeks with a lot saying we looked tired. Why bust their gut for a few % pts? Still won by 40.....I can't complain about that.

                              He's such an asset.....totally dialled in to what the club needs and expects from every player.

                                again fox commentators against swans. not one on fox is at least even handed when broadcasting us. Must also say channel people are much the same. Footscray get away their throws always and no comments from them.
