Watched the replay, gee our 3rd qtr was poor, was like we were stuck in the mud at the clearances.
Can't afford to drift out like that again next week.
After watching replay, just want to say Great Game - so impressed with the way the Swans played. They really stepped up to the intensity of finals football with lighting run on play and intense tackling. I can't recall them playing with that intensity since 2006. It's a bit of joke the way the press and Carlton supporters blame the loss on their missed opportunities and seem oblivious to the number of times the Swans hit the post or how well we played. Even in Q3 when momentum was with Carlton, there were several scoring opportunities that could have stopped their run. One in particular where the ball bounced on the goal line and then directly backwards into play. Also in the first half there were many passages where luck was against us and we could have been 8 up at half time - that interchange incident for example.
Anyway, the young players have now experienced extreme finals footy and if they can all come out like that against the Doggies it will be sweet. Looking Good.
Just something else I remembered from the game...
Did anybody else think TDL went a little too close for comfort to the goal line when running into the open goal to level the scores???
For a minute there, I thought he was so excited he was going to forget to kick the bloody thing. We saw earlier in the year with Shannon Byrnes that goal scumps can make huge blunders, so in future TDL, kick the bloody thing from 2 metres rather than 20 cms!!!!!

Looked fine to me

I liked how he took ran towards goal after being second to the ball. Most players would have hovered around the pack trying to lock the ball in.

I watched it again last night.
Mummy's slam into I think it was Handley (?) five minutes before the end of the first was just beautiful.
Dead set, if you see him coming ... move out of the way.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
What is it about our 3rd quarters?
We've won 7 3rd quarters & 17 4th quarters in 2010. (& it's not a new thing)
