    A poor 2nd quarter there, we just didn't ever get going. A goal at the end to Buddy would have been nice. That last goal we conceded in particular was very, very sloppy - why were there no swans behind the contest (Doing our usual lets allllll jump for it instead of someone staying down for the ball on the ground).

    Jones, Mills and McVeigh's clearances have been poor. Jones running through the centre kicked it wide. Why? When he had players deep. Mills didn't kick through the footy that allowed an intercept. Any chance someone mans up Ziebell at centre bounces. Lot of work to do still.

    Big 2nd half coming up - we need to hit the ground running in the 3rd like we did in the 1st, and start winning it in the middle more.

    Midfield needs to step it up. North are zoning off well outside their 50. Horse needs to come up with a solution to that.

    They weren't behind the contest because they all went up for the marking contest, leaving 2 North players free.

    That was a bad error by Lloyd in the 1st Q. Should have given off to Mitchell.

    My point still stands though, they should not have all gone up for that - we do that far too often for my liking.

    Kennedy and Tippett have been excellent in tight. Our defence has largely been on top. Buddy, Hanners and Heeney have been threatening to blow the game open. I reckon they might in the second half.

    Yep, that stunk.It was as if he couldn't see the huge person standing directly in front of him. How the heck does that happen? An under 12 should have been embarrassed. Shocking.

    You didn't get the memo? Any form of physical contact whatsoever is now prohibited in ruck contests. That stunk even worse than Lloyd's effort.

    Those 2 consecutive frees to Brown (which resulted in a goal) were very soft. I thought we were getting the better side of the umpiring early on. But it's quickly turned around now, 12 frees for North, 9 for us. Have we won the free kick count in any match this year? It seems the Swans get the rough end of the stick more times than not.

    Great goal from Harry, no nonsense, just on the boot straight away. Good stuff.
