Round 21: GWS v Sydney Match Thread 5 Aug23

[Danzar]

Absolutely pushes the boundaries, how many cheap shots has Buddy done and how many times has whinged to the umps ! The best players play on the edge - the fact the opposition supporters say the same comments about buddy as some say about Green should tell you that

Wot? That's an almost bannable comment! Lucky we're a democracy here on RWO....to a point of course.

Carry on!

I repeat...WTF? Wash your mouth out.....seriously. Completely pathetic to put Bud in the same grub level as Green.

+1!

Buddy nothing like Greene. Tackled hard, used his weight within the rules and has/had a sound temperament. Crap comparison.

Errol isn’t much of an orator, but he’s one hellava footballer. He’s having a ball he reckons , hey so are we - witnessing his sensational magic .

What a beast Errol is becoming. Love how he plays the game.

Great effort again tonight - all we can keep doing is winning. It's been a good last several weeks - we may really rue that draw and couple of close losses, but boys giving it a real crack on the run in.

According to the tracker, Errol ran 16.6km tonight in the wet, which was the best for the round, so far. Heeney was second best tonight and third best for the round with 15.6km.

He played 95% time on ground, the highest Swan tonight, which is an insane stat for the position he plays in

[Merdo5555]

Well he started with being MIA in the first half.

He inserted himself in the second half though. Applied key Greene skills such as face slaps, elbows to the neck, knees in the back, stomping, overall rolling his bodyweight onto players on the ground while kneeing them.

Gave away a few cheap frees in the final quarter and there you have it. Classic Toby.

You can make a dog a captain, but it doesn't change the fact that he's still a dog.

You'd be sorely disappointed if your dog was as unruly as Toby. Woof!

What a difference Tom Hickey and straight kicking makes.
We are right in the log jam for top 8 spots, and I feel like the team feels liberated from the buddy selection issues.

[Hotpotato]

I have $100 on Errol at 150 to 1 - getting more hopeful

And Sydney are still $51 to win this yrs Premiership .

If Tom Hickey can stay fit and recapture his 2022 form, swans can go deep into September.
Never has so much depended on one man.

ABC Radio votes from Mark McVeigh.
Errol Gulden - 3, Hayden McLean - 2, Jake Lloyd - 1.

Fair.

How excited was Rampe in the rooms after the game? I thought he was going to break his teammates hands the way he was slapping them! He even joined in the song ????.

Nice stirring of the pot there Barry.

I’m happy that without Buddy we were still able to turn so few inside 50s (particularly in the first half) into so many goals against what had been such a stingy defence.

Our coaches come in for a fair bit of stick on here. I think they deserve credit for our forward efficiency, if not for our contested/clearance work.

[barry]

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I think buddy stayed a year too long and or forward line of Amarty, McDonald and McLean will enjoy a clean run at it.

[Auntie.Gerald]

They are ready when they are ready

Amartey and McLean las night showing us a glimpse into the future?
