    I've always liked Jones as a player but gotta admit - didn't know he was such a good kick

    What an amazing first half. Still in shock. Collingwood can't play the SCG, now wonder Eddie was sulking about the change in venue. Seriously, how good is Buddy?

    In my wildest dreams i did not expect this, I echo voodoo how did papley get to the rookie draft. Jack and Parker playing captains game just guns both of them, predicted Lloyd would break out this year good start so far.

    Props to the big man Longmire

    Where the hell did this come from Swans - superb first half. Pies are frozen cold, but thoroughly enjoying this (wish I could have been there, but have family visiting this weekend). Young guys standing up, and what a difference having a couple of genuine smaller threats up forward.

    Lets wallop them - 100+ please!

    That is the best first half of centre clearances from us for yonks. Makes such a difference to pressure on the opposition back line. The new boys are such great readers of the ball. All of a sudden we have incredible leg speed. It is so obvious, and the running forward of players when we caused a turn over was terrific.

    Yes, all have been great, but I especially like the look of Mills. It's been very pretty watch the way he hits the ball at speed, then immediately seems to sum up the right option and then hits it.

    Yes, mcs, a 100 would be nice, but I just checked: our biggest ever win against the Pies was 91 points back in 1987. So I'd settle for 92.

    Amazing but Josh Kennedy is the lowest ranked Swan for the 1st half

    I think we are looking fast because everyone is actually running hard. I still think the Pies are faster runners but that means nothing of you can't move the ball quickly.
