    Then dropped a sitter on the boundary. I have never been a rap for him. Slow and makes so many skill errors. Why did they let him kick out.

    The plus was Thurlow. I reckon he could play midfield. At least he has a strong body. I reckon Taylor was much better. He started to get in the right places and was much stronger at the contest. Also I liked the way we kept pressuring.

    Well we all watched the cart take off Gary Rohan after an injury 10 times worse than that and it rocked off at warp speed compared to tonight’s snail parade. No one is not being respectful to the player, just the officials, who clearly had a strategy to give the players on the field as much of a rest as possible.

    Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

    Quaynor will be ok to play next week! It was disgraceful, took away our momentum and gave the Pies players the rest they needed. Be interesting to see what Quaynor has actually done that needed the hearse cart speed.

    Umpiring was dreadful, and I rarely complain about umpires, but what do you expect from Stevic and that Pie barracking chick.

    You just needed to look at the incredulous look on the player's face to see it was a con job.

    I really hope not, but he did seem to be smiling a lot. If you are right, that has to be one of the lowest of low moves. Regardless of the genuineness of the incident it left a sour taste in the mouth

    Very clever of them if it was. I look forward into the AFL's enquiry into the incident.

    Taylor got a 50 for coming from behind the mark. Mihocek did exactly the same in the last quarter. For an eternity 2 players were on the mark.

    A truly weird game.

    We should never have won it, and then we should never have lost it. But the umpires made sure we did. The Swans should at least privately kick up a stink about some of the non-decisions, particularly those in our forward 50.

    Having said that, Stephens has me loving life, and Rowbottom and Lloyd were terrific. And the way we tried to play after the first quarter was good.

    There were some clear teachable moments for Taylor, but that’s ok. That’ll happen with young players.

    Good on you Thurlow. I must admit that I thought his card had been marked. However, he must’ve worked extremely hard to regain trust and confidence in the tram to be given another crack. Just like Robbie Fox, I love how effort and perseverance can be rewarded.

    Other positives include Wicks and Stephens. Wicks’ pressure and tackling was fantastic. Nothing like a specialist small forward.

    I think Ling and ET might need to be managed even if we do have the bye.

    Overall, we were outplayed but so we should’ve when you look at the teams on paper. I’m happy with the effort.

    And lo and behold that mantra continued for the entire game.

    That Pie supporting chick had a real dislike for us. I counted only one free kick from her for the entire match.
