So Dane Swan will almost certainly be the first player...

..to reach 800 disposals in an AFL season next week.

I'm not really sure what happened today, he played well in the first half against the Saints' much more fancied stopper in Jones but Ray stopped him in his tracks Anyway, here's hoping for a big game from Swanny next week!

Guys just on Swan, I had not idea how fast the bloke was. There times yesterday where he burnt Montania on the wing. He may not have Ablett tricks but is just as much a frick'n gun.

You wouldn't pick it but he is the 2nd fastest at our club over 20m thanks to the retirement of rusling.

Who's first? Thomas? Toovey?

Just on the Jones/Ray difference - Jones was standing "on" him or between Swan and the contest, whilst Ray started 1m or so to the outside or behind.

Swan gets most of his touches on the move (ala Judd) rather than stationery (eg Mitchell) so the extra space Ray gave him meant he was allready closing if/when Swan took possession - contact was at the contest with Ray - whereas with Jones, Swan was able to 'wear' and break the contact before going after the ball.
