Game Day 2024 Round 22 Swans v. Collingwood 9th August 7:40 PM @ SCG

Mills looks exhausted

Why do we keep handballing it to someone surrounded by players??

Chad needs to stop bouncing the ball straight away. He could have run through then, but he got himself in trouble because he bounced.

 

[Mister B]

Warner has had 8 handballs. I dare say 7 have been to teammates standing still as he makes the ball someone else's problem.

Yeah, but keep playing him.... we'd be worse off with someone like Sheldrick or Hanily apparently.

 

[troyjones2525]

Why does Chad think you need to bounce the ball every 3 bloody steps! Infuriating!

Not 15? F*** right off umpire!

So there is a microphone in the members pocket.

 

[caesar88]

I can't believe all the guys so terribly out of form for weeks that were kept in are playing terribly

 

[swanssince2002]

Well, at least it's not 14 points in a half. Low, low bar but we have to start somewhere

Would’ve gone at least 25..

Not pretty, but 500% more effort than last week. I’ll take it!

Baby steps…

Not just standing still but also with 2 Collingwood players right next to him.

We really have turned into a shit footy team overnight - it must be some sort of record

BTW - does "not 15" only apply to us?

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Errol’s getting killed by an old man. Pendlebury is going to have a chat with umpWilliamson, let’s see how much he’s influenced bouffant boy.

 

[SSwans2011]

Little wins - the defence across the board was so much better that quarter. A few acts of desperation that just haven't been there in the past few weeks.

Keep that up as a bare minimum and the attacking side of our game will eventually start to click.

 

[ashep]

Gutsy half. I reckon we'll push this one all the way. Sidebottom is just killing us with his clean hands. If we can just sort out our exits from the D50 we will be ok.

 

[Punts]

Watch Warner

He is trying to get the ball going forward

Even if he gets under pressure

 

[Tommy221987]

A fair bit of negativity after that quarter.
I thought we steamed the bleeding of their scoring and looked ok.

 

[SSwans2011]

Amartey looks to have refreshed

People really underrate just how important he is to us. Even just structurally when he's not hitting the scoreboard.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

I’m going to stick with glass half full

• Players still trying hard. Warner slowly building traction and helping to make things happen. Amartey getting very involved and making second and third efforts.
• During our winning streak we were often down in second quarter / at half time. Can Collingwood keep up pressuring the corridor, or will it continue to slowly open up for us?
• Rampe still warming up. Hopefully Mills too.
• Only upside from Gulden in this game - let’s see if he can find a niche to contribute. Sidebottom doing a strong run with role on him.
• Grundy fighting like hell. He’ll want to this win and continue to the end.

 

[Punts]

Where’s gulden?

 

[lazy77]

People having a go at Amartey. It was Chad who had a bounce in congestion, put Rowy under pressure to just hack it forward.

Amartey ended up with it and had an age to handball, but hung onto it for some reason and got done HTB. That turnover was all on Amartey.

 

[ashep]

Heeney's ability to look beyond the first handball and release a player in space is amazing. The handball to set up Chad's goal was a thing of beauty.
