Round 17: Swans v Bulldogs

[Maltopia]

Already said by most, but what a great response to the shambles last week. Some appalling free kicks given by the umpires, including some questioned by the 7/Fox commentators (other than Brian Taylor). A bit more accuracy would have been nice for the percentage too but a 53 point win is still sweet.

Anyone dropped for the Fremantle game would feel unlucky. Ladhams will be out due to surgery on his thumb.

I guess they might drop Cunningham as the medical sub and put in Joey.

Given our up and down form, I don't know what to expect against Fremantle. At least we won't be going in as favourites, so a win will be a bonus instead of an expectation where we will be let down (like vs the Bombers).

Are you talking about me ? I said Chad would be our best youngster in March of last yr when some didnt even have him in our best 22 ! Give it a rest

Unfortunately it often does end up being about you even when our team puts together a great performance like last night. Your self appointed position as resident site guru must weigh heavy on you.
Of course barely anyone else rated Chad apart from you (and maybe Bangalore) ????

Why do posters resort to this petty barbs and point scoring?

If you don't like the deliberately controversial comments of a certain poster then just ignore and the fire goes out, don't go throwing petrol on it because we end up with three pages of back and forward rubbish, clogging what should be a readable and enjoyable post win thread.

The Stephens free against for slight hold of the jumper, Johaneisen had clear hold of Stephens arm as the ball came in, stiff too for the running too far

Channel 7 commentary is excellent ............... with the mute button activated

Reid has been fantastic tonight....their expected ruck dominance after Ladhams went down has just not materialised.

Yes, Sam was great. A total soldier, rucking most of the night and scrapping it out on the floor like a bull terrier. For a guy who has had
his share of injuries I think he is one very fit footballer. One time he was running off for a break and he looked as fresh as if the game
had just started.

Whats going on with Harry , doesnt seem to be a place for him . Need his leadership out there

[Sandridge]

Just love the feeling of waking up on a Saturday morning and knowing you can relax and enjoy watching the other games because you've banked 4 vital premiership points against a hated rival on the Friday night!

GO BLOODS!

I know right? And not just banked points, but we spanked them. It was a much needed response after last week. Let's do it again next week.

[KSAS]

That was a stunning performance, however I have no clue which Swans team is going to turn up each game!

We're like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get - Forest Gump.

Why isnt Chad being talked about much . We have an unbelievable talent only 30 games and its taken for granted . He deserves more credit

We're used to that level of performance now, want him to go to Elite level.

We've only got half of our Warner quota, Corey developing in the VFL, now only two more to collect to have the full set!

He is his own player , his brothers will be lucky if they are half as good . Nothing against them , Chad is that good

We’ve come to expect excellent games from Chad, and he rarely lets us down. On the other hand, we thought Sammy was past it and he was clearly BOG tonight and has been very good all year. He deserves a lot of praise for this outstanding effort.

Such a change in mental approach by the team- we didn’t have a single passenger and with this attitude we can beat all comers. Can’t see why we can’t play like this next week in Perth!

TB, our worst player tonight btw was young Campbell- no possessions, no tackles- he’s a dud, as you would say.????

Who does he deserve more credit from? The media? He’s a star already and has the potential to be the best player in the comp. I’ve seen a few media articles this year focusing on him and all the supporters I talk to love him and always have.

You posted before that you don’t know why people respond to his controversial comments and then you do exactly that yourself. ????

Us on RWO ! We are the fans aren 't we , we should be over the moon to have him . Will go down as the best recruiting the club did since Adam . Going early but we are looking at a future great of the game , he is not just a rising star
