McDonald another goal - great set snap from the pocket.

[MattW]

McDonald snaps truly from an acute angle on the boundary after a free for a high tackle. Third goal.

Ronke set shot from 47m after Taylor found him with a clever in bound pass. His second.

Ronke another goal after a good clever pass from Taylor.

Swans doing well.

[Foreign Legion]

Swans 7.2.44
Suns 5.5.35

[MattW]

Swans consistently outmarked in the Suns' forward 50.

[Foreign Legion]

As MattW said - we have been outmarked about 90% of the time this quarter. We look terrible right now - poor disposal and dare I say it don't look fit enough.

The last 15 minutes have been so one sided.

1/2 time.

Ladhams is a mile off I think.

[crackedactor 01]

Agree. Swans barely touched the ball in the last 15 minutes. Ladhams got beaten badly in the ruck and the back line of Gould and Melican look very ordinary. The seniors better not have too many injuries because everyone I have seen look ordinary.

[The Big Cat]

Agreed. Ladhams is being obliterated. I had big hopes for Gould, but I’m afraid he’s looking like a draft bust. Mr Inbeween, too short for key defender, too slow for a flanker. Melican also looking a mile away. When Clarke and Taylor our best, you know we’re not travelling too well.

Yep, Sinclair was better than Ladhams.

[Faunac8]

Tend to agree from what I have seen regarding Ladhams I felt Sinclair has offered more so far which is a concern let’s hope we get him into shape and quickly.

I thought they were going well for the first quarter and a half, but that second half of the second quarter was dreadful. The Suns' young skinny ruckman, Moyle, is making Ladhams look amateur.

Hopefully they can reset in the middle for the second half, because our forward line has looked pretty good when we've managed to get the ball up there.

I pray that the McCartins can keep themselves healthy, because their understudies aren't doing anything to impress. I wonder if moving Reid down back is a good idea - give him some experience playing in defence, just in case.

Although he hasn't had a lot of the ball, Rankin has let rip with some sizzling disposals. I've love to see them try to exit defence in the second half with the ball in his hands. He's capable of running it out and then kicking long and, more importantly, accurately.

[Foreign Legion]

Agreed. Ladhams is being obliterated. I was big fan of Goold, but I’m afraid he’s looking like a draft bust. Mr Inbeween, too short for key defender, too slow for a flanker.

I saw the game at Whitten Oval live last week and Gould looked great. He has dropped a couple of pretty easy marks tonight and then outmarked easily in the quarter.

Taylor and Clarke look ok. Reid is at least an option besides McDonald.

[dejavoodoo44]

That quarter started out well, but degenerated into a turnover festival in the latter stages. Though if it's any consolation, it was more our VFL listed players, rather than our AFL listed players, that were missing targets.

McDonald was useful with a few goals. Roberts got plenty of it. Clarke also was busy, and he wasn't making nervous with ball in hand, like he used to. Gould was best in the backline, but others were having problems. Ladhams was pretty good, and I do like the way he throws his weight around, but I wouldn't be hugely confident if he replaced Hickey. Taylor is pretty well always handy at this level. Many of the others were good in patches: Bell, Warner Sheather, Anderson, Sheldrick, Sinclair, etc, but no one was close to dominating.

[Foreign Legion]

Bloody hell we have been outmarked so easily in the last 20 minutes

[Foreign Legion]

McAndrew just missed a goal from half a metre out - unbelievable - now he gets a free and has another chance.
