I thought today was another good win.. I don't feel we ever reached top gear.. I think we were somewhat sloppy and nowhere near our best in all areas of our disposal.. What is up with Jetta.. He seems to look quite down on himself at the moment.. When he kicked a goal in the last qtr a whole bunch of guys went to him to congratulate him like it was his 1st ever goal.. Is there anything in that ?
I think he has been no where near his best the last couple of weeks - even with his stats and a couple of goals. I have been quite impressed this season how much he has improved winning his own ball inside, showing a lot more composure in close and laying some strong tackles. I get the feeing that he has been tasked by the team to improve in these areas as opposed to being just the slingshot man. If he rounds out his game a bit more and adds that consistency - the sky is the limit.
Looking at the video of the Buddy bump, I think he should be okay. It seemed that the contact was made to the body and Cameron's head then landed on Buddy's shoulder from the recoil. I think it will end up as insufficient force. But you never know with these things. Buddy should give up the bump.
Look at the scoreboard. If they kicked straighter, they would have blown us out of the water.
yes, we won by heaps, but jeez it was a scrappy win. We should have won by heaps more.
Got to bring the Geelong game to Port. Percentage is very important.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
I agree that Sam had a dirty day. But I was very frustrated with Shaw, a number of times his disposal was dreadful.
After last week I thought Shaw had turned the corner, but he is now back a long way from the corner. Many times he was out in the clear and with stupid kick turned the ball straight back to the suns.
Seriously people? That was one of our best wins of the year against an excellent side playing good footy on their home turf. Great team effort that took us to 7 straight wins. Should be celebrating not taking unwarranted potshots at players.
A professional performance by the Swans. Never got into to top gear but it got the job done and that's a sign of a good football team.
Hope Tippett is okay and Franklin would be unlucky given the MRP has only suspended bumps lately when significant force has been applied.
Bring on the Power.
Tippett injured his knee, landing awkwardly, after an attempted mark.....not rucking as you earlier ranted.
Clearly Horse ( that moron of a premiership coach) doesn't share your wisdom Re :Reid.......
"Sam's a pretty versatile player for us - he can play in a number of positions," Longmire said.
"He's held himself well in (the ruck). He took a few contested marks and dropped one, so he should have ended with four.
"He played well at the back then as we saw he can go a bit deeper. He's a disciplined player but also extremely flexible and important.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
