Autopsy Swans vs. Suns

[BarneyBent]

Ordinary game, particularly first half, but good to play the game out and really close it strongly.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

what bashing? hes the best and fairest winner, expect him to do more

hes played better than he currently is imo

I don’t know, the ‘cheap kick’ quips are fairly frequent...pretty sure they were last year too! He hadn’t won the B & F then either.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Fairly ordinary to send Sinclair back on i thought hope he hasn't done more damage.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

He could still drift back in defence a bit

just a nice agile ruckmen and gets him in the middle/fwd too

Absolutely. I thought he played a fantastic game!

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Strong win, but it's hard to gauge anything against the Suns though. I can't remember being at a game where the opposition were as lazy as they were tonight. Some of those efforts would get you dragged in suburban football, let alone the top level. Stewy Dew has a mountain of work to do.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Forgot to add Parker is in career best form and Mills has had a very good month of football.

Career best was when he was runner up to Dangerfield. Yes, he’s in fantastic form though, as is Mills.

lets not derail the thread after the win, we can chat elsewhere

i reckon hes better now,we might not win enough games, but he might go one better

He’s built for it!

Big call. Play the season out and I’d be willing to put a very, very rare wager on Charlie

A lot of positives from the second half. JPK got a hold of it despite not being the JPK of two years back. He Hewett and Parker won it in the trenches.
Rowbottom with 21 disposals, 8 tackles - has to be nominated for RS. He is just a great link up mid in tight.
Heeney really must've got a rocket at half time.
Dawson maybe BoG.
Reid put together a nice game without being dominant. 2 goals, 14 HO, 5 marks, 5 tackles.
Wouldn't mind seeing Fox back in next week for the guy who couldn't kick or tackle today. Selectors should reward form over favouritism.
Might as well see what Grassy has got against the 2nd or 3rd string ruck of the Dons. Yeah his form isn't great in the 2s but it would just be funny to rub their nose in it considering they really wanted him - and now they need him. Getting some taps would be a welcome change too. I think he'd rise to the occasion.
McCartin back is a just worth it - can punch. Please can we keep doing that.
Maybe Hayward to a wing, seems to have lost his form in front of goal, but I'd absolutely keep him in the team.


In: Fox, Grassy
Out:Sinkers (inj), Golden bollocks

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

I thought that was an excellent mid winter win.

How’s Naismith looking?

 

[1980GFVideo]

Please go on and beat the Bombers next week.

If you do is anyone here prepared to see finals as possible?

whose golden bollocks?

agree with a lot. though not sure on fox

i thought McCartin was good down back,

 

[momentbymoment]

Still think Mills to the midfield.

I'm guessing Florent.

 

[ashep]

We're a lock to finish 9th. We're playing like a finals team but just too many teams ahead of us.

 

[stevie26]

Couldn't watch the game. How did Rose go?

Solid. Not a standout but did all the basics well. Should definitely retain his spot

If you're looking to run the Bombers' noses in it, surely NOT playing him when our only ruckman goes down is a much more spiteful way to do it!

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Just ok. Keeps his spot.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Rowbottom 20+ touches is a great sign for a couple gamer

 

[CD__]

Rowbottom is a young Luke Parker

 

[ashep]

Rose was ok but I'd prefer Ronke. Rose is a selfish footballer for mine. Demands the ball in disadvantageous positions and often plays with blinkers on.

Couldn't believe the way he cut off Ronke when Ronke had a clear path to goal. Thankfully Ronke nailed the snap after having to sidestep his own player.
