Round 22 V North Melbourne @Marvel

I thought so too until he did his usual business of doing nothing for a whole half , he isnt a competitor and isnt taking his career seriously atm .

On what basis do you assert he 'isn't taking his career seriously'.... just another 'vibe' comment no doubt in your endless campaign of vitriol....

Yes, Heeney had just 2 disposals after half time, despite around 80% TOG.

Biggest disposal winners in the second half: Kennedy 17; Parker, Hewett, Cunningham 12, Dawson 11; Hickey 10; Hayward 9.

Rowbottom had 36% TOG in the last quarter.

Heeney is so up and down at the moment in terms of drifting in and out of matches - can't quite pick it with him.

Hickey was fantastic in seeing out the game - feels like he will really be one to lift come the finals when we need to.

McLean once again showing he has a big tank covered the most distance of any player on the field by a big margin. I was impressed during the game as he seemed to be showing up at contests all over the field. That and contested marking have been two of his skills that I have been impressed with this year. I think he deserves another game next week .

His tank is fantastic - he still has some development to go, but if he can develop the rest of his game, he will give himself every chance to make it at AFL level. He works hard, marks well, and crashes packs. Has built a decent understanding already with some of the smaller forwards to.

Serious pressure for Reid to rediscover his better form this year/next year I'd think, both Amartey and McLean have plenty to offer, and that's before thinking about McDonald of course.

What are you on about

Anyone who runs around for a half of footy not touching it and doing nothing when they are playing for their spot does not have the competitiveness to make it . Needs to pull his finger out along with others

I am reminded that the late Prince Philip had a title that was quite extensive:

His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, Baron Greenwich, Royal Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Extra Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Member of the Order of Merit, Grand Master and First and Principal Knight Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Knight of the Order of Australia, Additional Member of the Order of New Zealand, Extra Companion of the Queen’s Service Order, Royal Chief of the Order of Logohu, Extraordinary Companion of the Order of Canada, Extraordinary Commander of the Order of Military Merit, Lord of Her Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council, Privy Councillor of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada, Personal Aide-de-Camp to Her Majesty, Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom.


I would love to have such exalted recognition, but I probably should first try to accomplish something in life, which looks highly unlikely at this time.

Accomplish just having humanity. Something Phillip failed at.

Just as you need to pull out yours !

Absolute dribble as per normal.... your hate knows no abounds.

I ask again, on what basis are you accusing him of 'not taking his career seriously'? Questioning a players professionalism is very different to some bizarre qualitative dribble about 'competitiveness to make it' - as I suspected, nothing but the 'vibe of it' as per normal.

I've never seen someone so desperate to get the knives out, someone so desperate to tarr a player, to throw baseless accusations, whatever it takes. It is @@@@ing sad.

Why not take your measured impartial and unbiased comments here Swans chat Rowbottom - put it all in here!!
So you don’t as usual hijack a match day thread with your vitriol.

There were a few who drifted away in the second half, weren’t there. JMac was arguably best on ground in the first half, then . . .

One clear plus of last night was Hickey. It’s the best he’s moved in a month, and to play that well against a quality ruck in Goldstein is a big tick.

Be intrigued whether we potentially rest Hickey next week if the pre-finals bye disappears from the schedule. He did move really well last week - Goldstein tbh isn't quite what he was once (especially around the ground), but Hickey and him had a really good battle all night.

Reid Florent Rowbottom all poor , is what it is

Don't mind me. I'm just copying and pasting the Bests from the Match Report. Just checking for party crashers. Imposters. There's always someone who tries to sneak in where they don't belong. But WE know who they are. Don't we?

North Melbourne: Simpkin, Anderson, Hall, Davies-Uniacke, Zurhaar, Phillips

Am i not even allowed to mention him in the match thread ! He was playing last night wasnt he ? I criticised others too but as usual not allowed to say anything against the golden child

For someone "not allowed to say anything against the golden child", you do an awful lot of it man.

This is a weird best list.

Not sure about Kennedy and Rowbottom being in that! Especially ahead of Dawson, J Mac and even Blakey who was on fire.

I thought Kennedy should be higher. He was our best in the final quarter and across the entire game topped clearances and contested possessions again.

Reid is a funny one. His experience and ability to read play remains good, but his kicking is terrible at the moment, and can't afford to waste gilt edge chances in front of goal come finals time. McLean did his chances no harm tonight - I like him, and Amartey at times has done well.

That miss from directly in front was heart-breaking - basically gave the Roos permission to come for us. That said, Sam did have a big week so perhaps we should be cutting him some slack. McLean did himself no harm with his excellent efforts however.

Second half just ghastly - feels a little like we're limping a bit just as we did to mid-season break. Let's hope we can find a third wind. Without Hickey, we lose that game - extraordinary!

I think you’re talking about John Blakey not David Noble

Ok thanks my error
