    May work in our favour if Hawks finish top an we finish 4th. If I'm correct, we would avoid them in a prelim final.

    Nail. Head. A big factor in the loss. I don't usually subscribe to the 6 day break theory but maybe it was a factor. Our intensity waivered as well. So may be it was a factor and may explain some tired players as well.

    I think our guys were saying gee its hard to tackle these guys when they hit targets and don't drop marks - maybe we should try that approach - as u say its the missed tackles that kill you !! not the ones that your expected to make !

    I agree with this. I know the easiest route to the GF is top 2 but my preference would be to have a crack at them weak 1 and try and smash them up and give them the hardest run possible to the GF. And I think we are the best placed team to do this, I really do think we have closed the gap this year.

    We really are being punished now for the Richmond loss that I just knew would come back and bite us. It's a simple equation now, win all our remaining six games, and I can't see why not, and we get top 4. Drop one and we need to rely on other results. Drop two and we are bottom of the 8.

    The season is in our hands after 16 rounds, we have played some good footy and brought on some players . I'm loving this season so bring it on!

    Hopefully last night will be our spark

    Yep.
    My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

    Sorry but this is garbage. It was nothing to do with pace. It was everything to do with quality of execution, which is his perennial problem, irrespective of pace.

    How good were Gary Rohan's marks last night..... he has such a great action, his timing was fantastic. And capped it off with four goals. The highlight of the night I reckon.

    Towers will stay and deservingly

    There was others who played worse but he has improved of late and as a matchup we need him to keep evolving as our outside depth is minimal

    I think he got way too much attention for the wrong reasons vs the Hawks

    Didn't horse allude to hugging the boundary was the play wanted by the team which towers did.......the sense of urgency on the next play was aweful by the swans

    They did not shut it down and Sam Mitchell kicked the bloody ball off the ground half volley 70m !!!! That ball could have gone anywhere and 7 times out 10 out on the full

    Towers soaked up the time tick !

    Towers hugged the line and Tom almost marked tick !

    If he did what he did previously ie bomb and the Hawks flooded forward after gaining possession everyone would have gone MAD

    Right call

    25 kicks
    37 disposals
    Sam Mitchell

    I wonder why we didn't try and nullify Sam the same way we did last game ?

    Sam Mitchell was head and shoulders the best mid out there and directing traffic perfectly again
