I just feel Sinclair is going to fall apart at this rate.

Unfortunately both Cameron and MacLean are getting towelled up by Nicholls. With Naismith busted, Sinclair might have to keep going by himself.

Not a good sign.

It's a bit like watching our seniors.

Yes....yes it is.

McLean looks OK I reckon - but he is playing mostly as a forward not a ruckman

We are back in front now...at least hey haven't given up.

Kicked a few goals clear now - showing good signs.

Well, they've come out blazing this quarter. Looking much better.

Funny how most of the scoring is against the wind. We will have it in the last quarter.....use it.

Don't tell me they are playing instinctive footy.

Maybe come is as third tall / ruck. Although Cameron did look much better that quarter.

Caught the last few minutes of Q3. Good run and carry on display from Swans and some reasonably accurate kicking. Q4 could be fun to watch, both teams moving well.

While the commentators keep mentioning the wind, if it's anything like the breeze 10ks north of Metricon, it's only a gentle, leaf rustling sort of thing. I doubt if it would be even worth two goals. Other than that, I've actually quite enjoyed the commentary today: better than others on Bar TV.
