Match thread: Swans v Cats.

[waswan]

Huh? We played brilliantly. We didn’t kick goals.

No positives?

When the ladder isnt dictated by score on the board ill get excited

[crackedactor 01]

Wasn’t that fun! Seriously, if they were trying to lose they even failed at that. Beyond pathetic. Trade Heeny to GWS as part of a deal for Himmelberg. Trade Hayward to anyone who wants him.

Heeney with 4 shots for goal and Managed one point. I am glad he at least got that one point. Why are they keeping on about that Dangerfield call to play on? If you look at the replay it came off the hands of Bliclav and landed in the lap of Dangerfield. That is no MARK!!

Absolutely agree with the positives already mentioned. We were the better team for most of that match. Yes it's a pity we could not convert more, especially with the chances so close to the goals.

We did not play like rubbish as some have intimated on here, we just did not finish our good work. No-one wants to kick 18 behinds and no-one is going to be harder on themselves for errant kicking than the players themselves.

I like what Melican did today on Hawkins. Also thought Francis played well too. Braeden just keeps getting better and McInerney is putting together a good stretch of games. The more Amartey and Logan play together, the better.

I think we can take a lot of confidence out of today. We didn't look scarred by our last two significant loses to the Cats.

Agree with all that.

Goal kicking aside, this was our best performance of the season. A lot to be positive about, even though the season is over for us. I felt that Melican and Francis held up okay.

Well said- I particularly like your last point- it's very important that we played that well against the Cats particularly after the GF...

Melican and Francis were pretty good I think.

Amartey was poor IMHO - Buddy may have an in next week.

Amartey needs to play every match he's fit. He's going to have some games where he doesn't win every contest. He's the future - Buddy is not. I'd use Buddy as a sub.

BS...it was a 93 pt turn around from the last time we played them! There is positives even though we kicked ourselves out of it....lots of positives but hey, be negative 'if it makes you feel better'.

Draw a game we should have won by 6 goals is not a positive.....

Of course it's hard to see these things through Vic coloured glasses!

[Hotpotato]

There’s a few Cats kickin themselves as well .. Tomahawk missed some v gettables.

We dominated a lot of the game, however without checking, more turnovers by us.

[stevoswan]

Not overall no....but within it, THERE WERE POSITIVES! As I said, if being negative makes you feel BETTER, go for it. Enjoy your weekend.....I'm going to.

Big kudos to Melican. It reminded me of a game he played against Riewoldt in his last year when he smashed him. He did a massive job tonight.

The other feature of the night was that was the best overlap run I’ve seen since the last quarter against Richmond. We used dare and run to take it on. We got trapped a few times in the last quarter in the middle of the ground, but it’s better than the alternative.

Good games by Sheldrick, Parker, Blakey, McInerney, McDonald and Gulden. If I had a slight criticism of Gulden he made a couple of errant choices in the last quarter. Campbell was very good first half, but drifted a bit.

The morons on Fox are trying to argue Blakey should get a fine for acting in the tackle from Stewart. I have no problem with the tackle. It was strong and proper. But the idea Blakey acted in response is absurd.

Typically positive Barry.

Ok, everyone played well, but we really should be happy with a draw after that last quarter.

Agree, it is not!

Melican was decent tonight. Whoever comes out for McCartin will be stiff!

Amartey needs to learn how to a take a chest mark. He has terrible technique. Keep you elbows together!

[stevoswan]

Seven now having an effing Tom Brown inquiry into the Danger thing....should have been a fifty, shouldn't have been called to play on....blah blah. Gee they're pathetic.
