I posted in the Ressies thread that I think Melican is going to be a key to our backline for many years - he impressed again today. McVeigh pretty good considering the time out. Hanners was Ok - if he is injured he is doing very well regardless. Kennedy was a bit down but deserves a crap load of credits.
Thanks! I can't say I picked that through detailed analysis but I did sit on the conservative side of ten goalsOriginally Posted by royboy42
Good to get a win, I still think we have a bit of work to do.
Zak, Buddy and Reg were superb.
EDIT: Reg

Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector
The interpretation of this rule seems to depend on whose playing. It's judged differently in just about every game and almost always poorly where the Swans are concerned.

Just got back from the SCG.
Buddy was wonderful, and I'm firmly in the Jones fan club, he has been playing well and was even better today.
I would also like to thank the ladies at the canteen who said they were praying for victory today. I don't know which deity they prayed to, but I thank him/her/it/them/whatever too...
Overall we needed the prayers, because from what I saw today, these wins are going to be few. The Swans have lots of work to do. We were lucky the Lions are just worse than we are.
I think the AA decision was simple
No one in ressies was going to miss a game due to AAs laziness !!!!
Hence him missing on playing in any team full stop
I'm sorry but I'm finding some of the speculation about AA to be borderline slanderous and frankly distasteful and offensive.
Mods?

I thought we pkayed well today. Particularly when the game was to be won in the 1st half. Our intensity and stack on the contest was a marked improvement on previous weeks. My top 5 were Jones, Franklin, Heeney, Hannebery and Parker. Papley provived a physical presence in the 1st half alla Benny McGlynnand contributed to a couple of goals. Melican was steady down back and McVeigh provided direction and quality disposal. Particular mention to Towers. He provided a contest and I was very impressed with a number of 2nd efforts. 10 of his 20 disposals were contested contedt and topped it off with a goal. We slackened off a bit in the 2nd half but i am so pleased with the win.
I knew there were a lot of negative people on this site, but i cant believe how little interest there is in congratulating our team for a win. When we lose everyone us lining up to bag them. During the game this week there were approx 40odd posts. Last when we were losing there were 170odd. Get behind your team instead of dragging them down.
Yes, but the exact margin of 54 points was a truly impressive bit of arse.Thanks! I can't say I picked that through detailed analysis but I did sit on the conservative side of ten goals

Longmire confirms that Aliir's tardiness was a one-off. When asked for the reason for Aliir's late arrival he said it didn't matter, he was late
Naismith and McVeigh spent most of the last quarter on the bench. I'm hoping it was just precautionary related to their long layoffs.
Yes, it's probably always been my least favourite free. Especially when the tackled player just drops or throws the ball, and then we get pinged for going on with the tackle, when obviously, the illegal disposal came first.The interpretation of this rule seems to depend on whose playing.
