I thought what was significant about that performance was the way we were able to change things to stop the Pies scoring and to find a way to move the ball through their defence.
We were playing some free flowing football at times again.
Longmire completely out coached Buckley.
To me it’s a sign that we have plans B, C and D and we may see a bit more of the rounds 1-3 Swans in the future.

I was non fussed about Hewett being in the 22. Hes a fine player but nor t sure he's one we should be playing when we could be getting games into others. But watching the job he did on Pendelbury yesterday reminded me he is an asset. Shut down the oppos best mid and get 20 touches @ 80% disposal efficiency .. you've gotta be playing . Dunno how we fit him in the midfield along with Jpk Parker Mills Chad Florent and Jmac though.
Yeah, that was good; on Kennedy and Parker in particular.
Josh will go again next year - he'll make 300 games (he's on 267), and should play 300 for the Swans (313 in total). Parker is having his most prolific year in terms of average disposals.
Liked the shout out for Lloyd. Most underrated by his team's supporters. His run out of defence is critical; he'd be number one for handball receives.

I thought Pendles was playing forward so Hewett was playing in defence, having taken COR's spot. I don't know if they'll play him every week or if it will be a horses for courses approach. Next week there's Fyfe who is probably a bit more of a de Goey/Heeney type, certainly much better in the air than Pendles. I can see Rampe getting the job rather than Hewett.
Dont see a role for him in the team. Hes not a defender. Good tagger but would not have him in there over Kennedy Parker Mills or Chad. Hes behind Florent and Jmac on a wing. If we are rebuilding id play Rowbottom as the tagger over him. His career is in limbo. Blokes in limbo look at their options and hes out of contract this year so you do the math.
