The most intersting thing I noticed, was the hush as the game started. Usually the crowd buildings into a roar at the first bounce. You couldv'e heard a pin drop.
Norf may regret not moving north already.

Yeah, Swans supporters easily outnumbered North, although I do wish that Melb based Swans supporters would make a bit more noise at games.

If you want a copy ROK, PM me.

It would have been nice for jetstar to kick a goal but his disposals are so good it doesn't matter. It don't think he had one bad kick today, he was all class

The good:
Goodes took the game by the scruff of the neck in the 3rd Q.
Kirk much better this week.
Kennelly as cool as it gets. Very good.
Hanners is a star.
Jetta is Mr 100% efficiency. Outstanding use of the ball as was Hanners.
The rucks are playing very well.
2nd half centre clearances was the best for a long time. Was it a conicidence that Goodes went in there?
Bradshaw is all class. His contested marking was superb.
Thought Jack stuck to his task on Harvey.
Moore (2nd half) McVeigh, ROK, Shaw (improved), LRT, Mattner were all serviceable.

Not so good:

Malceski was worked over.
J Bolton struggled.
Craig Bolton is not moving as well as usual. Gave away yards today and slower off the mark.
Kennedy does enough but not convinced yet.
Jesse - please don't play for a speckie.
Grundy - first half looked like he was believing his own publicity. Made some bad errors. Pulled the finger out somewhat in the 2nd half.

You are kidding about Jude ?????
As far as Jesse goes , only to happy to see more of those hangers.

WE did, 23000 there I reckon nearly 15000 Swans fans.

Melb swans fans sounded awesome on TV. Well done!

Thanks Jeffers.
We tried hard but it was hard to see in the last quarter as my view was blocked by departing North supporters !

I never leave a game early .... always look for something to take from the game - the efforts of players when you are behind tells a lot about their true character.
