    13 frees for Richmond, 11 for Sydney. I agree they've been calling ones that aren't there, but they haven't been too bad. Richmond are electing to play boring, keepings off football in an effort to frustrate the Swans. It means we have to go 1-on-1 for the rest of the match. Contests must be forced. I'm sure Horse is telling them the same thing. The Swans are a contested footy team, Hardwick knows this.

Boy, the raps on Parker sound / look a bit hollow when Kennedy isn't there to do the grunt work. Kicking especially McVeigh is woeful.
    Parker is one player I wouldn't be targeting in this pathetic display.

    In the Adelaide v Geelong game last night I couldn't believe how poorly Adelaide played. They were a shadow of the team that beat us a few weeks ago. Now I understand how quickly things can change. We are a shadow of a shadow of the team that played that day. We are terrible in every aspect of the game, kicking, marking, inside work, tackling. You name it.

    Ahh, my mistake. I was looking at the AFL website, it must be delayed. In that case it is rather lopsided umpiring. I'm not surprised in any case.

    The Swans would be in big trouble if not for Buddy's three goals. All goals were ones only really he can kick.

    The 70m was awesome to watch. Now if he can do that against the Hawks next week it'd be great

    The Swans won't win next week, not in great form despite wins in recent weeks. But tonights match is still up for grabs. The Tigers are notoriously unreliable.

    Re Parker there were several clearances late in Q2 that Parker, and the rest, simply failed to put in a fair dinkum go.

    Parker can potentially enjoy a week off after that elbow. *sigh*

    Wow, so casual. Tigers should have had 3 goals by now not just 1. We are asleep
