Round 14: Sydney v Port Adelaide

[ScottH]

Hey Scott,
Cunningham & Towers are also quite fast, so there were other options, but I was glad it was Shaw up there in the forward half and not back in defense. I would like to see Shaw go to the reserves and mentor the young players just like Ryan O'Keefe did last year as as a consequence Jones to be kept as Shaw's replacement.

I haven't really seen those two use there pace much in the games i've seen.
I just take everyone else's word on it.

Thank you to members posting on this forum. I was in an area last few days with no Wifi, no working satellite and only one WA channel 7 to watch. Apparently there was no game on Thursday night. No mention on the news, no mention on sports update during the night. Had to wait until next morning for Sunrise for a report. These West Australians are so bloody parochial. All that was mentioned were the ins and outs for the WA teams. Aargh! At least I could feel the drama, frustration and excitement through your posts.

WA stands for Wait Awhile.

I've heard 4-6 weeks. Grade 3?

Has anyone heard how bad Rohan's hamstring tear is? Hope it's not a bad one.

His @@@@ ups would be less costly up the ground than in the D50.
Given that most of the team were back in defence, we needed some one to get the ball away from trouble, otherwise a quick kick out of defence usually comes straight back in again. He and Jetta are the only speedsters we had left.
And his plugger paddle did the job by getting the ball up the ground and out of the way.

Try the Footy Live app. On a tablet you can see a lot of the advanced stats. On a phone you'll have to click on each player for their detailed stats.

But not on the phone APP.

Yeah, I was hoping for something I could view on my phone.

... After 60 years + following the Swans I am very comfortable with cautious / realistic assessments.

If you have followed the Swans for that long I would think you would be very happy with the Team at the moment. The period of (relative) sustained success has not happened for long time. We are being/have been spoiled and it is great.
Sometimes we need to just step back and go wow, how wonderful it is to have my team be a very strong chance of winning every game it plays.
This is not the feeling the majority of teams supporters would have. It would be tough being a Blues/Saints/Dees ... supporter.

You may be right, but that would be a change from the Swans general mindset (most sides I guess) when 4 goals up at 3/4 time to structure up to try and kick more goals rather than go with your #1 defensive structure. We'll know about Shaw soon enough I guess...

actually thought they were trying to keep his pace as the closest swan to our goal to open up the slingshot

My thoughts too.
Same reason Jetta was up there for a long while.

Thats what I thought to, felt the contact and launched himself forward to accentuate it. Looked pretty silly once, was filthy on him the second time.

Staging happening more and more across the competition over the past few years in my opinion. I worry that the stigma of being associated with it is diminishing too, unfortunately.
