"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Think we need to revisit the back 6, but we got on top amd finished comfortably- the three headed Aragon seems to be working in nicely together
Originally 'Dropping the Ball' was a stand alone free. If was not considered holding the ball at all. That came later. First throwing the ball then holding the ball. But how it could be holding the ball is beyond me as they do exactly the opposite. Both dropping the ball, now incorporated into holding, was taken from that and joined with the throw in Incorrect Disposal.
But what is incorrect disposal? The umpires sure don't know. Nor do players. Nor do supporters. In fact the rules do not explain Incorrect Disposal, only to say in an earlier explanation of Throw or kick & handball (what a is a handball?) It is not explained in the rules. A throw it says is illegal. But neither dropping or throwing are a part of Incorrect Disposal. In fact this is not explained except to say see previous explanation. But there is none. No wonder umpires don't know. The rules are so vague. Except on the AFL's big issues. The rest is so interpretive you could just make it up on the run

We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!
Yeah, five in a row is good. The first half looked like 10th playing 13th with some dreadful footy by both sides
but in second half we were cleaner and better.
Overall a very even effort by our guys. Which is what you want. 18.6 following up 15.6 last week is pretty decent
kicking. And who would have thought a soccer (a code that has largely passed me by) game could be so captivating.
Driving home after the game it was very quiet on the street. I guess everyone was inside watching the WWC.
It'll blow over.
It’s is bloody red hot kicking
The scoreboard pressure we have applying with quite often less entries far large parts of the game is brutal
I thought our second half was really good , started to win clearances . Paps done done nice work in tight and Rowbottom was a bull . He actually at times has more time to dispose of it than he realises .

Stephens: 16 disposals for 88 metres gained.
Seems a poor return.
I think down the track Rowbottom is going to going into the record books as truly great Swans player. He reminds me a
bit of Jude. He's clearly as tough as nails, is very consistent and his ability to jag a goal out of nowhere is a very handy skill.
Learning on the job from the best (JPK, Parker) has helped him get him where he is now.
