The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
One of the interesting things about last night's game, was the lack of soft frees for interference in the marking contest. It could be that the Fremantle entries were so poor, that our defenders were rarely under pressure, but I don't think too many, if any, were paid against the their defenders.
Maybe the umpires didn't appreciate being told how to umpire by Clarkson? Or maybe the alleged "blue murder" that we were getting away with, was just a figment of his anger driven imagination?
Two visiting American clients came to the game, surprisingly four of my rusted on Rugby League mates came as well helping to boost the Swans versus The Wedding crowd of 27,000.
A ten goal win was exactly what was required helped by the Dockers inaccuracy.
Buddy didn�t seem at all troubled by his heel.
Two significant milestones, but why was Nick chaired off and not Josh as well ?
The food outside was better than inside but that wouldn�t be hard.
I didn�t notice any HTB paid .
I guess it's just tradition that total game milestones are acknowledged in that way but not club game milestones. Joey will have his 250th overall game to celebrate in the not too distant future.
Speaking of milestones, they keep on rolling around. Papley is due to play his 50th next week, and then Hanners his 200th the week after and Grundy his 250th two weeks later.
I was slightly surprised to see that Hanners debuted a season and a half after Smith yet brings his 200th up just two games later. My impression is that Hanners has had more injury interruptions to his career than Smith. But I guess it took Smith quite a while to earn a long-term spot in the team after his couple of early games, while Hanners was pretty much a fixture in the senior team from his debut.

Does anyone know where (if it's possible?) to get stats of time spent in various positions/parts of the ground? Every now and then I'll see a telecast flash something showing a % for a particular player, but not sure if it's a sneaky Champion Data limited access sort of thing.
I'm really curious to see the % of Joey, Luke and Isaac's time spent forward vs. midfield this season (ideally compared to previous seasons if there's historical data).
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
I noticed a broad band of white tape around Kennedy's thigh, just above the knee yesterday. Can't recall if it's been there in recent games. Seems to confirm that he's carrying some kind of injury, that would help explain why he's not been as dominant - consistently - as he usually is.
Can one of our resident physio experts shed any light on what tape above the knee might signify? I presume it's some kind of instability in the knee ligaments?
