Looking forward to watching this on replay, but in the interim, the Guardian goal-by-goal blog is pretty funny -The Cats are flattened, flummoxed and another thing starting with 'f'.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.
Just reached half time coffee break.
Need to sing praises of Big Sam. The amount of in and under work he is doing is terrific. Such a big man with a dirty jumper says he has done a lot of tackling and ground work.
You just have to watch the replay. Da hands, oh da hands. And feet.
If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhood
Who'd of thought it?
I've never seen the Cats look so disinterested.
Did they have a bout of the feline flu?

Spot on Big Al.
The whole team played well, but for mine the rating goes...
1st - Midfield
2nd -Defence
3rd- Forwardline

Most impressive and satisfying night at the footy. Were the Cats that bad, anyway The Swans were good, not without blemishes but able to cover for them pretty effortlessly.
Would like more Swans capable of selling the dummy when about to have their kick smothered ala Macca, Whingaurd, etc... It's such a good skill.
Kick to kick... What a fabulous and joyous spectacle.
Yep was quiet for the most part but did get louder towards the end of the third quarter. A mixture of non-contest and massive disbelief in what was happening.
The long, drowned out SYDNEY chant was amazing last night though.. it's one of the main reasons LIVE is always better

Very appreciative of the role Sam plays. Not getting the goals as I expected him to but his pressure acts and marking are creating those goals.
And he's probably overtaken Goodesy as our most versatile player - Ruck, Wing, Forward, Back

Also recommend the link. Right up your ally big Al.

Goodes, Reid and Franklin rotating for parts of the game up on the wing is a treat to watch !!!!
bags playing a run with role on any of those three !!!

"be tough, only when it gets tough"
For the first time ever I'm seeing the Swans intimidate their opponents.
Coming out like an unstoppable wave, and maintaining that to half time at least.
Midfield is making the big difference in the last 3 games, everything else is reaping the benefits.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
As a certain commentator (who I think is terrible) would say - WOW WEE.
I have been a Swans supporter for a very long time and have seen the worst and best over many years, but I believe this team and this style of play right now is amazing. We stayed right past the end to soak up the fantastic win by the boys and I couldn't be prouder supporting this team. As we were leaving a dejected Cats supporter said to me "The Swans tonight played some of the best football I have ever seen. Congratulation to you guys".
I agree with the comments above - the midfield last night was superb.
Get around this team and support them like crazy over the next few months as this is going to be a very interesting and exciting time leading into the finals.
