"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Playfair said in the press conference Kizza hurt his hip. Could have played tonight if needed but obviously rested as a precaution.
I kept getting annoyed by Dwayne on Fox last night referring several times to this being Reid's first game in 12 months. I guess a week really is a long time in football.
Yep. Some stuff is unforgivable- like how could you not see as it happened that Mumford bumped Buddy who then ricotched onto the giants player. I mean it was so clear, if you were watching and had your eyes open. But instead they start getting excited about a possible suspension for a head high bump by Buddy... sigh - going to be a long year
Buddy is lucky that Mumford helped him into the bump, as he hit him earlier and lower (shirt full of sore ribs).
Possibly if Mumford didn't bump him contact may have been higher and then he would have some concerns.
To be fair the commentators after repaying it couple of times said Buddy would be ok as Mumford pushed or bumped him into the player.
It wasn't head high it wasn't late, it was in play - just a classic hip and shoulder - nothing to see here.

I don't think Buddy was going to bump, it was only Mumford hitting that caused impact. I didn't see the game but saw that bit later. To me it should have been a free to Buddy for an off the ball bump/block to enable Taranto to mark.
Pleased to see that our new captain & the 3 vice-captains were all named in our best players.
Also like that we stood up to GWS.
Agree Nico. That was sheparding at marking contest from Mumford.
