Match thread: Swans v Hawks.

[i'm-uninformed2]

Heeney and McDonald. Just freaking pure strikes

[dejavoodoo44]

Wow...what a kick by Heeney...

He and Gulden are just elite

Looks like an interesting battle between the two, for the three Brownlow votes today.

Some really weird umpiring decisions this quarter, many to us too, which has me absolutely befuddled.

[Dow]

Grundy ! Silly !

[Dow]

Jeez the umps love us today lol

[Daisi]

Swans need half time ...it's a four quarter game where anything can happen..

[Blue Sun]

Jeez the umps love us today lol

They’ve missed a few for the Hawks, that’s for sure.

Let’s hope it’s a repeat of last week and Swans put the foot down in Qs3 and 4 after an underwhelming 2nd quarter.

[Mel_C]

Is it wrong that I'm disappointed even though we are 7 goals up? I didn't like the second half of that 2nd quarter. A better team would have punished us.

Taylor Adams doesn't look fit. Hayward could hardly walk at one stage and McCartin was off with his knee issue. I hope our fitness holds up.

Grundy has given away too many frees today.

Blakey needs to stick to the basics.

Good start Hayward.

[Mel_C]

Ok something is up with Blakey. Has he had a needle in his foot/ankle? He is constantly miss timing the ball today..

[Daisi]

Good win but the opposition wasn't very good. I fear for next week, I don't think we are performing brilliantly.

Well we will see...

[Blue Sun]

Well we have the highest percentage by a wide margin. Doing well, Swannies. Who goes to make room for Parker, Mills and Rampe?

[Dow]

Solid win ????now for a test against our arch rivals - what we can take out of today is we have a lot of contributors at the moment and premiships sides are built on this in my opinion

A funny game given how poor the opposition were. (Boy, they are years away from it and have probably nailed McKenzie and Weddle as recent draft picks, and that’s it.) But we were clean, chock full of pressure and did it easily despite never really getting out of third gear.

Ollie, Heeney and Warner probably 3-2-1 for me. The double act of Ollie and Blakey bouncing out of defence and through the middle of the ground is a sight to see. Our run was helped by the fact that it was probably Lloyd’s best game of the year, and I say that as someone who’s been dubious about his form this year.

As for Warner, that’s the best defensive game he’s played. He was ferocious at the tackle and it adds a whole new dimension to his game. All credit to him. It’s never been his one wood and he was brilliant today.

McCartin and Melican weren’t against much, but were fantastic. It was probably the most all round game Logan has played. And Jordon is making it exceptionally difficult for him to be the one squeezed out when Parker and Mills return.

And meant to say, loved Wicks’ game. There were three or four times when he simply got a hand in to scruff or release the ball from an opposition defender who was trying to start the spread from the contest.

We’ve got a big five or six weeks ahead with a tougher draw, but you can’t ask for anything more to date.

Really proud of Sam Wicks. Having come through what he has and performed at a high level the last two weeks is impressive. Well done Sam.

What the hell is happening with the crowd. 38,000 on a good day for two popular teams.

Should be an enquiry and alarm bells ringing at the AFL.
