So THAT's who is on him! Couldn't work it out because I haven't seen a Swan next to him often enough to tell!

Reid looking hte goods against a less than experienced opponent. What about the hit on Jude, no worries back into it. we should win this from here, if Bird gets back to his job

Bit harsh on bird. He prepared to play on black all week then found out 5 mins before the bounce black was out

Everitt and lrt need to offer more to the swans for swans to move forward as a club, id bring in another small dennis lane. Lots of big bodies upfront and when the ball hits the grond we are slow.

That's 10.7 to 7.4 at half time.

From mid=way through the first quarter we've been on top, moving the ball really well. Goodes is dominant up forward. Reid's playing his best game for the year. The game's a bit scrambly but the buildups for some of our goals have been immaculate.

Not saying he isn't the best option to sub off, though.

Very poor handpass 10 metres straight to a BL player. Should have had a goal from that play.

Who in the heck was going to play on Rich if Black played. Maybe they should revert to that person.

Our defence has been pretty good but we have turned it over a bit. Mumford and Pyke not really playing standout games but our midfielders are doing pretty well. It is easy to forget how good Parker is - especially for a 20yo.

Would love to see Reid get a bit of space in the 2nd half and kick a few more. Jack stepped it up a bit that qtr - seems to have broken free of Raines.

Looking forward to a good second half.

I can't believe that the fossil sitting behind me just tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to stop whistling because it was "a bit too loud" !!!! Seriously??!!??!!! I can't believe it.
