    I never did

    I try to be as patient as possible no matter the short term frustration

    The kiwi cricket team years decided to bring in young players to gain experience in the international standard before they were ready

    The kiwis felt they didn't have a domestic comp or academy good enough to develop the players they needed without more experience

    The strategy to make these players over time become who they needed to be by blooding them early was clever

    So to the swans with some of our guys

    Watching the highlights again, did not notice that Buddy passed 750 career goals. If they announced it at the game, I missed it?

    He's also leading the Coleman by 1, could be 2 clear if Lloyd hadn't stolen one

    I wonder if Jake avoided eye contact with Buddy after that one?

    Not that I think Buddy would have a problem with him but he could have had fun with the situation.

    Buddy ran over to congratulate him and seemed genuinely pleased for him.

    Advantage was paid whether he wanted it or not so no choice to give it back to buddy

    McVeigh watch: BOG

    Towers was great

    Looks like some Swans are frequenting RWO
    Swans v Suns, two weeks ago: Suns 119 tackles + Swans 135 tackles = Total 254 tackles

    I have no idea if this is a record but it is clearly both more than 190 tackles and more than the 89 + 155 = 244 tackles today.

    How do you pick what is a tackle in those conditions. There were so many missed and slipped tackles. You wouldn't know what was deemed a tackle, let alone how the statisticians kept up with the action in the packs.

    Watching a replay last night I thought Rose was a standout. Kennedy BOG, but Rose was in everything roving across the forward line and up and down the ground. Has a big tank will be a very good player for us. His wet weather skills were a delight and I noticed on a number of occasions he was tracking and supporting Buddy. Jones also played a top game.

    Towers is clearly a better option than Cunningham.

    At the airport last night a lot of the demons players were in the food court.
    One of them had a nasty black eye and some cuts around his cheek and nose.

    What i liked about Rose is he gave a contest every single time and didnt give up. A real "bloods" way of playing. Jones is another and he is our hardnut now.

    Towers was superb and for buddy to kick 4 on a day like that was why we pay him so much.

    My concern is our rucks, but i guess it will be like first half 2014 and Tom D where we already conceded the hitout but win the clearance by setting up our mids to shark the taps.

    I just love that we are rebuilding while being in the top 2, that is amazing. We are the now standard for this sort of thing.

    I'm with the ABC. They're certainly closer than Tony Shaw was!

    It just occurred to me that all 4 of our 2013 national draft picks played this game. That must make Kinnear Beatson proud of his work.

    So McVeigh is rock solid in the side now?
    A great game in the wet and he's golden again?
    Also, I guess you're implying here that you've never been critical of any player?
    For the record I didn't call or him to be dropped, but he was (and is) still under scrutiny.
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
