Swans another shot on goal and hits the post

 

[Toffee Lion]

Lions: 11.7.73
Swans: 7.5.47

Clean skills from McCluggage just outside 50, sends it forward and Daniher marks. Misses from 50m out.

 

[Tom14]

Couple of annoying goals to give up.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Lions: 11.7.73
Swans: 8.5.53

Swans scrap it forward from a clearance, Lions couldn't stop the scrambling ball. Goal Swans.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Mug-lairing creeping in. If this game meant anything, I’d be getting irritated just now.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Lions: 11.7.73
Swans: 8.5.53

Lions losing a lot of clearances in the 4th quarter, pressure has dropped right off. First 10 minutes all Sydney. Lions look to slow the game down, holding the ball and kicking it around to slow the Swans momentum.

If this game meant something the intensity wouldn't have dropped off in this quarter

 

[Kwickhatch]

Playing kick to kick from the defence and then down the line

 

[Kwickhatch]

Oh yea the lions have put the cue in the rack for sure

 

[Toffee Lion]

Lions: 11.8.74
Swans: 8.6.54

Swans move it up the ground with ease, Franklin involved in the chain. Good mark from the Swans deep I50. Gettable shot but drifts it wide for a behind.

I was ready to call it a failed experiment 10 minutes in when he fumbled the ball and flew for one he really shouldn't have, but have to admit it looks intriguing.

I still want him forward of centre though - at least we always have the option of throwing him on ball or into F50 if we need a spark.

Why though? I like Cam, I think he has a huge amount of talent but he hasn't been great in our forward line other than some glimpses. I don't believe there is room for him in the forward line when we play 3 talls.

 

[Warwick]

The game doesn’t mean anything but this commentary is nauseating.

 

[Gadzorks]

I actually hate the easing off. It's practicing a behaviour that we never want to see.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Lions: 12.8.80
Swans: 8.6.54

Out of the kick-in the Lions go coast-to-coast with fast footy, catching the Swans off-guard. Cameron with great running, kicks it to Dunkley who marks it straight in front, 35m out and kicks the goal.

 

[scott_the_man]

Charlie with a bullet on his left hits Dunkley at the top of the goal square and slots his 2nd.

 

[Gadzorks]

I keep seeing Dunkley and my first thought is is Jarrod Lyons.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Lions: 13.8.86
Swans: 8.6.54

Lions out of defense, send it down the wing, good play from Fort who sends it forward. Linc to Charlie and goal! That'll be the game done.

 

[Kwickhatch]

I hate when we do it during the season. We really tend to give teams a way back in. I understand why we do it during preseason because we don't want any injuries, but I agree it's sets up the mentality that once we are up and about we can just coast the rest of the way

 

[Tom14]

Kiddy

 

[Toffee Lion]

Lions: 14.9.93
Swans: 8.6.54

First 10 minutes of the 4th was lacklustre but it's been all Brissy in the last 8 or so minutes as we found some extra gas in the tank. Lot of F50 stoppages for the Lions, ball spills to Coleman and just misses from 40m out. Ball stays in the Lions F50 from the kick out for more stoppages. You wouldn't believe it, it's Coleman again and this time he scores!

 

[KissKiss]

It does sound like an interesting one with Cam down back. Could be the absolute making of him - whether its permanent or just a great learning experience for a little while.

But it does seem to suggest he is best as a more medium third tall. And with our love of three tall forwards (and guys like Linc and Cameron who like to play tall at times) it makes it hard from him to play that role a lot

 

[Gadzorks]

We have as many goals as they have scoring shots

 

[Nathan Barley]

Maybe I was underestimsting him when I said Kiddy was our 2nd most important

 

[Gadzorks]

Harris is clunking marks. Looking good

 

[Tom14]

That's one of the most Joe goals you'll ever see.
