    I’m with you Bexl- thought we were horrible in the first half, but fought back magnificently in the second half. Buddy lifted and brought the whole team with him. Great win Bloods!

      Oh and can we clone 5 buddies and 5 Mills please.

      Mills made a massive difference in that turnaround, but not playing in midfield.... The guy can do it all.

        Could have been a draw.
        Jonathon Brown claims it was the reverse, that he knows Stevic's voice and it was he that said the free kick was to be taken on the boundary.

          Mills is an astounding player. He's so reliably steady at everything he does. Calm, patient, skillful, unflustered. I'm so glad we have him at the Swans

            Thought O'riordan did well in the last quarter.
            Longmire is boring to listen to in post match.

                Maybe COR might stay in based on his effort tonight. Not exactly like for like but maybe Matty Roberts slides back to the VFL so Callum can move back to the mids. Matt wasn’t disgraced but 2 disposals doesn’t help his cause.
                Wicks under some pressure as well bring back Benny.
                Wicks did not chase. Will ended up taking Rioli because he was chasing him anyway. Wicks was on him early. But did not pick him up when he ran off. I think Wicks goes. Matt Roberts debut was forgettable. He has been playing well as an on baller in the reserves, so why play him at HF in Seniors? He is not a HF, he's a mid.

                Mcdonald was not good today. Went missing far too often. Had Grimes or Tarent on him most of the night though. Maybe he could go back to the reserves next week? Maybe. Reid was actually good. Actually kicked goals. Heeney was non existent tonight.

                  Absolutely common sense. The bigger question though is why the head high contact to Warner was not paid a free and what the bloody hell was the free kick paid to Prestia for. He wasn't being held, he was shepherding RB off the ball. That's all.

                    Would not have been any dissent had they paid the 50.

                      Bit of a flashback for you all here in regards to mills in the second half. waiting for Damien Hardwick to say it was hard to score with Sydney flooding 300 people back.????????

                        Also any talk that “xyz debutant is better than Rowbottom” is clearly deluded nonsense and should be treated as such

                          I disagree with your comments on McDonald and sending him back to.VFL. We have to persist as he is young and learning the role. He is our future and will only get better. Roberts will learn from tonight's game and will grow in confidence. The coaches obviously see something special in Roberts. Stats don't always tell the story of the role players play.

                              Agree Prestia should have been called for the head high contact on Warner. Straight afterwards, Warner can be seen pulling on the back of Prestia's jumper and limiting his run at the ball. You can see it when they show the replay.

                                Why did the last quarter go for 36 minutes ?
