Round 9: Swans v Pies.

[Thunder Shaker]

We weren't that far off last week. I'd expect a win by 20-30 points this week - a loss would be really disappointing.

Heeney a key.

Good call.

[Wardy]

Looks like it was a decent sized crowd too. A wins a win!!

[Legs Akimbo]

Great reponse after another turgid start. Maclean was great. Papley and Heeney played well. Hickey and Wicks both had four quarter contributions.

[Wardy]

How cute it Tom Hickey - he’s out there just havin fun.

[Mark26]

Like Hickey on the mic. He's refreshingly honest. Good win in the end to the boys.

Luke Parker has just raised the Lockett/Coventry Cup! Yey!

I think they said over 31,000 there.

McCleanhands

This suggests a new nickname for McLean: "Hands".

McLean growing into being a valuable focal point down forward he has great hands and works as hard as he can for a big unit.

McLean's breakout season, for sure. Will we have room for two Macs in the forward line after Franklin and Reid retire?

That was a seriously good game by McLean. Given Reid is probably out for a while and McDonald will be up and down being so young, there’s a great opportunity for him.

The amount of contests he got to, his marking, his tackling . . . all terrific. And I reckon he’d be a coach’s dream. Loved it.

[QUOTE=dejavoodoo44;818007]He's becoming a favourite of mine. Often seems to take marks near the goals, but at the same time, he often tops the team for distance run, according to the tracker. Often kicks straight, as well.

Impressive that he covered 16 km the next best was 14.5 km huge tank obviously

[dejavoodoo44]

Good effort to up the pressure and nullify Collingwood after quarter time. It must have been excruciating viewing for Pies fans. 1-10 over the final three quarters, might have had them wanting to poke themselves in the eyes with knitting needles.

18 disposals, nine marks and 6 tackles......great effort. Improving with every chance he gets. Logan must be thinking 'I have to really impress to get back' and that leads to a better list overall. You have to earn your recall.
