Yep. He's a Swan, and I am happy to have him.
And Lordy Lordy I was so pleased with BJ. He is such a smart kid. Was watching him practice those exact goals over and over at the early warmup.
Also, as an aside, the succession plan of a Richards for a Richards is looking to be progressing nicely. Its going to be weird but X moves just like Ted, and he is extremely calm and measured in his work.
I can yell invective at some of the boys, but I am not down at ground level and what I can see from above the top of the goal posts is not what they can see down on ground level. Also the ground was like glass a times, and the ball was also slippery. Probably hand balling like that (grrrrr) because the foot grip was too uncertain to be sure of effective foot passing. I don't think they can hear me ....
And just think. One day AJ will be back.....
the best bit is kind of like "I don't care whose playing as long as they beat New Zealand" and Collingwood. It was soooooo good. Don't mind most of the players, but......its the collective
And for what its worth, I have no voice today. Its been a long time since I yelled that much, so by all accounts that makes it maybe not a 'great' game, but a passionate and intense one. Fair enough.

Fibula much more promising (doesn't take a lot of weight compared with tibia), unless it involves any portion of the lateral ligament of the ankle. The more distal the fracture, greater likelihood and that would likely necessitate an ankle reconstruction of a ruptured ligament (like that sustained by Tom Mitchell early on & kept him out a while).
Yeah, I sort of agree, I think his effort earlier in the game was good. But a number of times in 2nd half he was walking and not keeping up (a few of these led to pie's scoring).
Mind you, same could be said for a number of our players, a result of the injury toll and a few carrying ongoing injuries me-thinks.
I guess I expect him to have a tank that will keep on going. Hoping Mikey Pyke will provide some relief.
Still can't forgive that over the head handpass tho'.
I called for the captains to be dropped last week, so I'm pleased it had the desired effect and fired them up. Hehe. But i will give credit where it is due and they were good on the night.
I actually took some good vibes out of the game. Some of the kids stood up and took on some ownership on the direction of the team. Rather than standing back waiting for the seniors to take us forward. Mitchell was outstanding, BJ is growing in confidence, Heeney gives us x factor and Rohan reinforced his importance to the team.
Other notables to me were Tippett's physical presence around the ground. Goodes was dangerous in the forward line. Cunningham did some good things across half back and Shaw and Grundy were safe at the back. These are all players i have potted in the past so credit to them.
Perspective us a curious thing. I have always been a believer and supporter of Cunningham and have thought criticism of him in here has often been unwarranted. However, this game I was continually frustrated by his mistakes more than any others but other posters have been complimenting him. I must be always out of step with public sentiment.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
