I think Francis is in trouble, getting benched while we were defending an onslaught. Did he get injured or did Longmire pull him?NO LUCK CATCHING THEM SWANS THEN?
Gallant effort from the dogs, considering their injuries.
Two weeks in a row though we've been challenged early but have ground the momentum back and run away with it.
Chad is a gun.
Heeney is a stud.
Gulden is a God.
Francis, sorry mate but I hope this was your last game for us.

I’ll have to watch his presser. Hate that prick.
Nice to hear Horse admit he got it wrong by not sending Jordon straight to Richards.
(He’s promised to read Bigfooty next time to avoid such mistakes in future).
Also nice to hear him give McI a wrap - he was very important tonight.

yeah, he always seemed like a good guy as a player ... i had a vague connection to him, well, my younger son did through his junior football years ago when thomas just arrived as a draftee to collingwood ...
he was just an anonymous kid in jeans, jacket and beanie and seemed good-natured even as the attention built around him in his early couple of years ... from what my son and plenty of others used to say

Horse looks as happy as the time I went to church with my in laws for a funeral of a person I never met.

Feel like people keep marking him like he's a best 22 player. Of course he has his flaws or he'd be playing every week. I think he's very serviceable as a back-up option.

Yer maybe im expecting more output on the scoreboard from him he was supposed to be our focal forward this season.

Given time he could become best 22 imo, Rampe won't play forever

His second half presence was what we need imo, he was poor in the first half. Real maturity to work back into it

but he's still part of our real core
heeney, warner, gulden, rowbottom ... he doesn't have the razzle dazzle of the other three but he's no less important, even if you think he wasn't at his best tonight

Second that if the Dogs showed as much guts as tonight they would be in the 8.
Or does everyone bring their best against us haha

Don't try to put it on the tackler. The issue is the umpires not blowing the whistle which will only invite incidents like this.

Yer i know just womp womp pick 5! waiting for him to become a 50 goal a season forward
Does Easten Wood usually take out a player's legs rather than going for the ball? Or only in grand finals
And do umpires usually pay those as free kicks?
Just asking for a friend.

Players are given way to much time to dispose of the ball which results in injuries like this.

Wouldn’t say he was good tonight though his opponent won that battle. Like a few they need the bye

Not enough love for Grundy IMO.
46 HO, 7 clearances (2nd most on the ground) and 7 tackles (= 2nd most for the game) and a significant physical presence around the ground throughout.
He makes a difference.
Admittedly not quite as much difference as when Warner goes full Chad.
And a call out to Will Hayward as well.
Last qtr an important mark on the wing, an important tackle on the wing, earlier in the game smother, chase down tackle leading to goals and kicked a couple of his own.
His workrate is superb.
Thought it was interesting that in the second half McDonald moved further up the ground and he just looks more comfortable and effective in that 'link' role.
The height of the Dog fwds troubled us, but when they have Darcy (208cm), JUH (197cm), Naughton (196cm) and can swing English (208cm) and Bontempelli (194) forward they are going to stretch every team to a degree.
Blakey was terrific spoiling the ball, but of all the players in the reserves it may even be Will Edwards (197cm and with good athleticism) who is the one we really need to develop into best 22.
I've said it before but can we please stop using Blakey for kick-ins.
He's much better as first receiver, where there is more potential for reward for the risks.
Subdued atmosphere, subdued game and as everyone has said take the 4 points, rest up and go again in a couple of weeks.
10-1, % of over 150%, I'm prepared to say we're travelling OK.

Not sure I’m getting quite enough Swans board notifications.
Any chance we can beat them up?
