Round 2: Swans v Bombers @ SCG

[dejavoodoo44]

Any hint of a free to Essendon and the whistle is instant.

Gulden's left boot should be framed when he retires.

It's going to be some highlight reel.

Wondering if Macartin is done for the night ? Hopefully we have the legs with 2 out for the game - let’s go boys

Interesting comment from Paps as he was walking off re: Essendon having a go at them off the ball.....Brad Scott all over.

Smash the thugs in the second half Swannies!

Has anything even been confirmed?

No nothing sorry his TOG is 90 % he was just benched

Not been a good weekend for boundary umpires - terrible actually.

I’ve finally seen Wicks this game on the TV. He hasn’t done much it seems…

We are missing Fox in defence as they are so tall, Cox, Wright, Langford, both their rucks.

Stringer hasn’t done much so we have to watch out for him having a hot 5-10 minutes.

Heeney, Papley, Roberts, Gulden, Melican, Amartey all playing well.

Not sure what is happening out there. We are getting smashed in clearances, we have missed many tackles, we choose to punch the ball rather than risk marking and we are giving them too much space. Nothing like last week. Thanks to some brillance from Gulden and others we are in front. Hope we get back to the Swans of last week in the second half.

What a frustrating game of football so far. Only a club with a crap culture would consider this 'edgy' football as something you want to aspire to.

We look lethal when we play calm and collected, but getting suckered way to much into their thug-lite football.

Just need to be calm in the second half and find a way to get the job done.

If we sort out the clearances (and yes, one of Adams, Parker or Mills would be handy tonight) we’ve got this. Our foot skills are just sublime.

The one worry is if they keep up the clearances and tidy up delivery going inside 50, they’ll do more damage.

As for the Bombers “edge”, if they keep playing like this they’ll have a bloke or two suspended a week. It is a recipe for decimation.

Awful umpiring. -Bombers are thugs - just horrible - Brodie being out bodied - I’m here at the SCG to see a footy match not a fight - the umps need to step in here

[troyjones2525]

Grundy struggling again is a bit disappointing. Hopefully, he and the rest of the boys have a big 2nd half!

Fox Footy reported quote from Papley at half time: "They are trying to get us and It's all off the ball".

Been a bit of it, can't be coincidental.

Yes, they are on top in clearances, but I think a fair bit of it has been luck. In that, so many loose balls have just been bouncing straight to Essendon players. If that evens up, our ball movement should cook them. Umpires penalising more of the cheap stuff would be handy, too.

Nice start....well done Logan.

Nice start Logan.
