Yep he is working into the season nicely. If we are to get anywhere near winning the flag, in particular performing as we should on the biggest day of the season (no one can argue in 2014 and 2016 we were not near our best) if we make it, we need players like Parker to take it to the next level. Thought he was really, really solid tonight.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
How important was it to have Lloyd, Reid and Rohan back? We looked a different side.
I know Buddy has had a couple of quiet games, but to be fair this week he was on Lonergan who always plays well against him even when he was at the Hawks. It actually annoyed me when the commentators were going on and on about Buddy. We were clearly in front and other players had stepped up which is what we want. We don't want to be reliant on him.
Really liked Jack's game. He seemed to move really well and gave us some zip. Parker and Hanners also stepped up in Kennedy's absence. And of course can't forget McVeigh.
Papley must really get under the opposition skin because they keep wanting to punch him!
Cal Sinclair's last couple of months, including time in the twos, have been really good. I admit he was down against the Hawks but if all our team played with his determination and heart and 100% effort we'd never lose. He is a true blood.
Yep I thought he had a real crack again tonight - and I didn't think Tippo was awful either. Sinclair's attitude has always been top notch since coming to the Swans. He is far from the most gifted footballer going around, but his heart and determination is right up there. Has a crack every time, even when he has a bad game like he did last week.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Are you seriously making an issue of this? I know you love attacking me but at least make your allegations realistic.
Your exact original wording was; "Utterly delicious that Selwood doing his usual drop and duck garbage caused the injury ". His "dropping and ducking" was not the cause of his injury. The injury occurred when he jumped for a ball and twisted his ankle on a teammates foot.
Even dejavoodoo44 admitted "First one was jumping onto his own player's foot. The second one, which ended his night, was in the Franklin tackle."
Fair dinkum. If you are representitive of Swan supporters our opponents are justifies in their criticism of us.

He's an exciting kid. Have you noticed just how excited he gets every time we kick a goal. Will seems to live it big time. That mark he took tonight was just sensational. I don't have a clue if people understand just how hard what he did is?
By the way the umpiring was mixed tonight. Down one end it was good but on Nichols end it was toxic.
We can still be better than we are.
Seriously, what are you on about? My initial comment was a response to a post by dejavoodoo44, not you. You chose to take issue with it. You initiated the exchange with me. What on earth are you talking about when you say "I know you love attacking me but at least make your allegations realistic."?
My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
