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

    Papley is flirting with the posts. Glad he converted.

    Paps....snuck it in. This game is too close for comfort.....and these umps make me very nervous.

    Hopefully we kick away in the second half.

    It's going to be some highlight reel.

    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!

    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.
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say
