    No. Gaz does some amazing things e.g the mark he took last week against the hawks, running back which led to Ronke's last goal. He will never be a high possession accumulator but his tackling and speed especially in the forward half is superb.

    I haven't used it this year but the AFL app had a heat map that shows which parts of the ground the players go. I think you have to pay for it but it's free if you are a Telstra customer.

    I think it was the North game where he injured it. It happened in the middle of the ground and he spent a lot of time down on the ground holding just below the knee to the side. I was worried at the time it was a bad injury.

    I thought he was showing his age a few weeks ago, but he seems to be getting better with each game this season. He was very good.

    Maybe Gary does need a stint in the two's......I didn't see the game, how was his pressure and one percenters?

    I don't put too much store in the fantasy points, they don't factor enough of the quality of the contribution over the volume. Champion data points are a better indicator. For example, CD had Kennedy, Parker, McVeigh and Mills all ahead of Heeney, which is a much better reading of the game.

    Having said that, Rohan was 4th worst Swans player in the CD ratings, so you could be right about him needing a break. He wasn't great.

    Nice to sit back, relax and enjoy an easy win at least once a year. I don't think Freo are that bad a team, but we seem to have it over them in recent encounters.

    Hannebery looked very underdone to say the least. Franklin clearly some way off his best too, but did enough trademark fun stuff. The replays of the elbow incident caused some oohs and aahs around the ground. I didn't get a good look but seems like there's a good case for incidental.

    Enjoyed the "as big as Buddy's" cheer for Ronke at the start. More typical game from him this week, but still pretty good. Also enjoyed watching Sinclair, Heeney, Mills and getting a first good look at McCartin.

    Rohan was never going to shine in that kind of game, he only does clutch match-winning stuff

    I�m just loving watching Ollie developing into a senior player - essential style of player for our 22 if we want to match the speed at which afl can be played at in 2018

    Really enjoyed Ollie�s first half asa critical transition player

    Agree.
    He is coming on leaps and bounds in the middle of the ground.
    Again, something I really only noticed last week at the MCG.
    Very prominent, and full of confidence.

    Keeps looking to pass it off outside of 50

    Yep it really looks like it is starting to click nicely for young Ollie. He is a good user of the ball too - very impressive stuff over the last month, but in particular the last 2 weeks.
    "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

    Buddy in no doubt, but Swans will play it safe - AFL.com.au

    So the AFL site says that Buddy is "no chance" to miss the Brisbane game, so maybe Christian has given them a sneak preview of his findings for the weekend.

    More seriously, the same article reports that Jones has shown no signs of concussion from the game.

    Patrick Keane has tweeted that Buddy is in the clear.

    Easy to decipher the split this week. I prefer a more difficult puzzle.
