Some very soft frees to the Pies at the moment.

The Rowy skill error then was costly on the break!

What was this free for?

[Blue Sun]

We’re getting a good run with these 50m penalties, but what’s going on with these high contact frees? The Pies have been punching our guys in the head all game but we get nothing, yet they get them all the time.

We were lucky there I thought it should have been HTB against Rowbottom in front of their goal.

[bloodspirit]

9 different goal kickers so far.

[troyjones2525]

Let's be honest, we should be up by even more! Great half Swans! Keep it going after half time boys!

I think we will be asking this a lot in the second half...we're not far enough ahead- and I'm sorry the commentators are so biased I just can't listen to it- I have it on mute...

There was an article in the SMH today from a Victorian footy writer asking why AFL is not more popular in NSW...I mean just listen to the commentators and look at these soft frees- isn't it obvious?

RB and Chad both among our best so far. Huge tick for Kin Beatson and co.

[dejavoodoo44]

So glad we didn't give up a late one. Especially after Papley could have almost snapped the leg rope.
Pressure was outstanding. Midfield doing very well. Huge quarter from Chad

Time the umps took notice of what was happening under their noses.

I just hope Sammy REID has been great today. Some strange umps decisions but the one against Blond Collingwood guy was ridiculous. Also the one against Blakey for blocking was also stupid. Wish we could have kicked a bit better for goal.

I meant I just hope Sammy reid is not injured.

62 more minutes.

[troyjones2525]

Really concerned about Reid. It's put a lot of pressure on Hickey as Sam hasn't rucked since his injury concern.

If we get through and he's not available who replaces him? Amarty or McLean? My pick is Amarty personally.

Reid subbed out; Campbell in. Go Braeden!
