    Goodes still looks slow.
    The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

    How good is Grundy? Very good is the answer - very, very good.

    We sure love playing at the Adelaide Oval. Three out of three now.

    Amazing pressure all night that's one of the best team performances I've seen from the Swans

    And we also do seem to love playing Port, that's eleven of the last twelve.
    I also thought that our defence was very good tonight, especially Smith and Grundy. While Pyke and Tippett did dominate in the ruck; with Tippett still doing a very passable Mumford impersonation.

    Yep, great effort from the Swans tonight.

    Goodesy is starting to show is age, such a champ though. Horse won't drop him.

    One of the best team performances I have seen in a long, long time....

    Only positives from me tonight for a change

    * Towers is worth giving an extended run I feel
    * Heeney just brilliant for a second gamer
    * Buddy worked his socks off
    * Rampe my BOG, just love the way this guy plays his footy and his story
    * The Reiad down back project should be perservered with
    * Rohan had a good game.
    * Best games for quite a while I have seen Jack and MvVeigh play

    Could go on and on. I think it will be very very hard to drop anyone from that 22 (except Goodes perhaps but that is a delicate issue). Clearly McGlynn is our best 22 but maybe another week in the twos wouldn't hurt. Our backmen played so well as a unit

    Next week will be another good test for us and I'd be hoping we get at least 40,000 there (including 329 GWS fans)

    We call that a Cameo appearance. Goodsie should stay as the sub.

    It was good to see the Swans show a bit of aggression tonight

    That was almost like watching the 2012 grand final again...apply immense pressure, soak up everything they throw at us, then make the most of our chances on the counter attack.
    Absolutely brilliant display of football, I wish we could bottle that and have it on demand.
    When was the last time we had such clean and effective clearances? Pyke was awesome tonight and Tippett is a seriously good ruckman, his efforts at ground level are - dare I say it - very Mumford-esque. Can't wait to watch the replay.
    Oh and that young blonde kid was pretty handy too!

    Among a host of fine performances tonight the one that stood out for me, especially compared with what we've done in some other games, is the ball movement. They were terrific at linking up, picking up the dropped ball, handpassing, kicking to advantage, all against a top four team. Ripping stuff to watch.

    Closely followed by the pressure: we were at their throats almost all night and caused handovers galore. Of course they did the same to us at times, but we soaked it up and got back down to work.

    And to think that only one person in the Fairfax papers and none at all in the Hun tipped us!
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
