Autopsy Groundhog day averted! Swans defeat Cats by 30 infront of a packed SCG

[Kirkswan]

Seriously as you know ive watched us for a long time and ive never seen a Swans player run that far and goaled

Did you never watch Jetta? What about Hanners? Franklin, maybe once or twice? Plenty of Swans players have run from D50 to A50 as part of an attacking run and goaled, especially in 2014, '15 & '16. Maybe not recently, but that 2024 team had some serious runners...

This site has quarters won and lost at least

Thought as much our 2nd quarter stats onwards is insane.

First quarters our weakness if you can call it that.

What looks like closing speed was, I think, reaction time and anticipation. He is one of the quickest guys in the club. The rest 100%. Great to see him doing so well.

Yeah Melican is very quick.

(PS. Isn't panicking a weird word, only has a 'k' in extensions!)

What about how the Yanks don’t put an extra L in “travelling”:

traveling

Always looks odd to me.

Or the way they write “stomach ache” as one word:

stomachache.

Now THAT looks weird.

Unless people use “loose” as “lose”, that’s one pet hate I have lol

Groan.

How does a footy forum become the lowest common denominator on the internet?

What the Hector with the popular use of should of?

Yer but your brain will perceive the sentence as to loose something regardless

The US does plenty of weird spelling, and I expect it from them now... but yes, every now and then you come across an extra weird one... and stomachache certainly fits that bill!

Go and split an infinitive!

Not sure maturity has ever been an issue with Lewy.

His issues have always been - for me at least - closing speed and/or ability to go with his opponent on a lead + injury/fitness.

Those with a good memory will tell you that in 2017 (when we started 0-6) that he was brilliant that season.

He has always been a bloody good defender - he just needs to stay on the park.

I guess I mean maturity in the sense that he doesn't drop his head after a mistake and keeps his composure .

Nup. You have to do a minute double-take.

As I never tire of saying, people who think this stuff doesn’t matter think there’s no difference between:

“helping my uncle Jack off a horse”

and:

“helping my uncle jack off a horse”.

Would love to watch Craig Bird do it again. One of my all time favourite players. I always looked at him coming off the field and I knew he had given everything he had.

Steady on, it’s an online forum. Don’t loose you sh*t over such a small thing. Sometimes you just need to let lose a little and these things don’t affect you so much anymore

Can someone please edit the title to averted not reverted. It still bugs me!

Me too! And I thought I was the only one (or had missed something).

Thank you!!

Even Avoided would be better still, or Sydney v Geelong Review .

 

[RubbaDuck]

I generally agree with you BUT (isn't there always one of those?) I hope that the team is looking at ways to blunt opposition fast starts without burning ourselves out. Perhaps an extra behind centre? A different setup at stoppage? Different CBA? I think Horse said as much in his presser.

Great point KC. Regards to the Sunshine Band

Agree.

It's annoying when people use the wrong words and terms.

I'll change it quick start.
