We can't catch the Tigers but the Bombers can catch us. Go Tiges!

When you explain the game to Americans et al you go : once tackled you must try immediately to dispose of the ball by handball or kicking it.

However the Tigers have really evolved the tap or slap to advantage (not talking about ruck contests) without ‘taking possesion’.
They are very good at it in tight situations, it saves time and expedites their rapid charge towards the goal.

It’s more like volleyball movement of the pill really and it’s entirely legal and prevents being tackled.
It looks like they practice this .

We were huge underdogs with everyone last week. Suits the Swans.

Games of note this round.....tonight could be interesting plus over the weekend, Magpies v Power, Us v GWS, Eagles v Dees and Crows v Norf.

With Kelly and Shaw out, we are a fair chance to beat the Giants I believe. Hun tipping was I think, 22-4 in the Giants favour......where's the faith?

Not much other news going on atm.

Have a great weekend everyone......Go Swans!!
