Great quarter by the entire team. Aliir is growing in confidence before our eyes, COR doesn’t look as if he’s playing his first game, and all the lesser lights have been composed. Disposal efficiency has been pretty good. And all without JPK and with Parker not dominating.

I don’t think they’re going to square it up, Danzar.

Allir has been epic , every time I saw him come into frame I felt confident we’d get it back going our way. COR looking pretty solid and Ronke is that good ! Good to have Heeney back to . Just need to fix up the poor goal kicking and fluffing around inside 50

We've found some this year, McCartin could be anything, Ronke is a ripper and now COR. More to come too :-)

Only 2 years late. He was the 2016 LFS and Ronke was 2017.

Aliir not a LFS, but a well-known Ludwig favourite.

It really is a next generation team we have out there now. No Kennedy, McVeigh, Hannebery, Jack, Grundy, Reid (plus the younger injured guys).

The umpiring really is baffling. I thought Cunningham was dragged off it and had won the free and it went to them for HTB. This was moments after the non-free against Goldstein. Then COR takes a clear mark on defensive 50 that was spoiled by a North defender after he'd marked it and nothing.

Great quarter young Swannies. Love Aliir's long arm work. COR doing well. Hope they can keep it up.

The umpires and the league 'could' but it would be incriminating.....so they won't.

If Horse did a 'Woosha', he would be called a whinger by the Vic hordes and the AFL would give the umpires the 'obligatory' tick of 'approval'. So @@@@ing predictable.
