Honorable mentions to everyone. I think we all played well, it was tight and very congested at times. I felt our ruckmans were mobile around the grounds, especially Jolly. However, dishonorable mentions to Leo Barry, LRT and Malceski.

[grimlock]

5. Moore Bulldog you star.
4. Kirk Left on from last week, just kept going and going.
3. Goodes Getting better week by week.
2. ROK Started on fire, faded out before coming back at the end.
1. Mattner. Desperate tackle right at the end on Pearce, we were gone if Danyle had kicked the goal. Also plenty of brave stuff throughout the game.

5. Kirk - One word "Inspirational" - One of his best ever games
4. Moore - Went missing for a little while in the middle of the game (I realise he went off after the knock he took) but was outstanding in crucial parts of the game.
3. Goodes - Poor second quater but imposed himself on the contest throughout the rest of the game.
2. ROK - Was on fire early tearing apart 3 different opponents and was still very good in the second half as well.
1. Mattner - Showed real composure under some of the most intense pressure you could imagine. Did some game saving things.

Will post all 5 names when I catch my breath and have a think, but Moore's game demands immediate attention. Absolute ____ing star in the making! Massive game after a near best on ground last week.

Special mentions to McVeigh, Jack and C.Bolton and Mattner.

Also special mention to Leo Barry as i have never seen him play a worse game in my life. Everything he touched turned to coal.

[natlovestheswans]

5. Moore - What a game!
4. Kirk - Just kept it out time and time again.
3. ROK - Worked hard all over the ground.
2. Goodes - Good game but still got so much more.
1. Jack - Did some really good things and ran alot.

[Banyo Bloods]

I'm surprised Micky O hasn't been mentioned in peoples top fives gave off and kicked crucial goals got caught a couple of times but he was pretty good.

LRT Would be in the top five for Port :D

Nah gotta stop that great win over there and Kirk Moore were just fantastic.

Anyone think Nick Davis would be just as valuable as Playfair ? Perhaps even kicking a couple of goals to make the value a little more his way. I'm just not convinced he is right but has height on his side so doesn't usually get outpointed in the marking contest.

Might take time for Mal to hit his straps still two incident free games should equate to a bit more confidence.

Wow haven't seen that kind of finish where the Swans get up for a while it was phantasmagorical

[Sanecow]

:confused::confused:

Bolton and Barry could learn from his example. ;)

I think Mal needs to go back to the reserves to get match fit. He clearly is underdone.

[Jeffers1984]

Wooo!!

5. Moorey - S-T-A-R.
4. Kirky - Inspirational. Just got shaded for the 5 votes
3. ROK
2. Goodesy
1. Kizza

Apologies to Mattner, Ablett, Jude.

[MalceskiFan]

I think we can all agree that todays game was probably the easiest one of the year to select the 5 players (not so much the order). From looking at the votes so far it seems there were 5 players that really stood out above the rest.

So stoked with Smoorey the last two weeks, all year actually. Kirky was at his supreme best again. I'm surprised I'm the only one to give Bucky votes, I thought he was fantastic in the tough situations today. ROK could just as easily have five, my top four were all not separated by much. And finally the big man, I'm still spewing he didn't get a Victorian guernsey but he's certainly in the top 3-4 ruckmen going around for mine.

[CAS79]

I just wanted to add that despite what will be a few people saying we haven't beaten anyone in the last 2 weeks the way we have played has been awesome. According to the betting market we went supposed to win today,so thanks bookies and punters for inflating my collect .

Despite all this we are playing with fantastic intensity and great resolve. Like Roos kicked their butts after the bulldogs loss and has got something more from them. If we keep playing like this we are right in this season for the long haul and capable of going deep into September.

Please excuse me I am still on a high so I will conclude my 2000th post with a big

GO SWANS.

[ssfc0203]

The way we hung on was just amazing. If it was out of some of the other teams .. Port would've won by a bazillion.

5, Kirk - One of his best ever games, and thats saying something
4. J Bolts - tough as nails, his best game for a while, hope he keeps it up
3. J Moore- Superstar potential, adds ass and class we dont have elsewhere, blue collar, and genius in one.
2. A Goodes - picking up a lot moore contested poss this year, good to see, even if lacking in some other areas.
1. Jolly - Our MVP, we would be stuffed with out him, he was a great buy

ROK very good first quarter, but is more suited to the flow rather than the contested game. Mattner tried his guts out.

LRT, BIRD, PLAYFAIR, L BARRY, SPIDER were terrible.

How N Davis and Barlow arent getting a game, i will never know, sorry but drop Bird and Playfair and bring back Davis and Barlow now.

[SouthSwans]

I can't see how people can still defend LRT's woeful performances...

[MalceskiFan]

Barlow was due to come back in for Kennelly this week but pulled up sore mid-week. Should be back next weekend.

kirk was genius and the way he plays was showed in a passage of play when he cleared the ball twice from 2 stoppages in a row and then in the 3rd stoppage kicked a goal out of congestion. also, can i give negative votes? i wanna give the maximum number of negative votes to leo barry, wat has happened to him? he is totally useless...

He'd been playing pretty well so far this year after LRT came into the side and freed him up a little more, but LRT had a horrible game too. I'm not concerned, he's 499958566330 x better for us this year than last. I'm not even scared when he runs out of the 50 with the ball.


Well, maybe just a little :D

[mattf83]

im suprised there isnt a little more love for Jude, he was outstanding yesterday. Definatley in our top 3.

Anyone checked his stats?? 25 disposals, 6 Marks, and 9 tackles. The amount of times he dived (dove?) into packs was enormous. I have been a bit critical of him of late, but the last 4-5 weeks he has stepped it up big time.

Wow haven't seen that kind of finish where the Swans get up for a while it was phantasmagorical

i usually respect your posts, banyo, but the shot at LRT was unfair and inaccurate
he was important at various times, and certainly far more effective than barry or richards, who were both pantsed most of the day (just look at who kicked port's goals), and malceski, who's obviously still very tentative

i thought LRT at least provided a physical presence (yes, still looks awkward) and mattner and bevan were tremendous in defence

oops, just realised i never mentioned ROK, who was very close to getting a point in my list, was outstanding for most of the game, just seemed to disappear for a while in the middle, but he ripped them a coupla new ones early and came back late
great 150th

[SouthSwans]

You did give him a point :confused:

[EatBig Australia]

5. Kirk - Mark down 3 brownlow votes for Kirky.
4. Moore - Brilliant. His goal barging through 3 Port players in the 1st was awesome.
3.Mattner - Brilliant all day highlighted by tackle on Pearce
2. J Bolton - Best game for the year in my opinion
1. Goodes -Used the ball very well.

[Tuco]

I can't see how people can still defend LRT's woeful performances...

He filled the holes well. Sure he had the odd clanger. But it was one of those games. Barely a moment to breath for most disposals. But I think you're being a bit harsh. Malceski had a far worse game. That goal he gifted Ebert was like a dagger in Barry's heart. But we were still were a better team for having Mal in the side. And for me, same goes for LRT.

I still think you'll come around to the big doofus by year's end, though.

[Skystyler]

Best game either team have played all year by a long way.

I thought Jolly put in one hell of an effort at the weekend. Goodesy getting back towards his best was also pleasing. And Moore just keeps improving every week :thumbsu:

[rancidpants13]

You did give him a point :confused:

oh yeah, i did indeed
just covering my dreggy a.se

or some such excuse
sorry

Yeah I was a bit harsh but the way he gave the ball up to the opposition against Port highlighted his game to me as poor. I like LRT and would have him in my 22 but I really saw his game as poor this weekend. Footy is open for interpretation but I thought his decision making wasn't quick enough but then again I've played in three losing Grand Finals so what do I know :thumbsd:

Look forward to reading your contributions on here as always but perhaps on this one we just see it differently.

Keep supporting passionately:thumbsu:

no worries
i spose that as i watched the game, it seemed obvious that leo and ted were completely beaten, so by comparison LRT looked better (as well as doing a few good things anyway)

It's not like you to get fired up.

[is2SWaNz]

Ohhh Kritika.. what did you do??

[ssfc0203]

Some idiot on the main board took it too far and i retaliated .. mods are like umpires. Retaliation has to totally be within the rules, especially with what he was saying about Sydney and the Swans/Bloods - yes, that thread. And I got angry. I usually don't get angry but this was something you'd get angry about.

we are getting attacked everywhere this year for some reason,jealosy ?

[MalceskiFan]

Exactly right bedford.

Everyone expected us to quietly fade away this season and wallow in the bottom half of the ladder for a few years. Suddenly they all realised that our "ageing stars" weren't on the decline and we actually had a fair bit of talent coming up from the 2's. Supporters of the top teams know the sort of damage we can do in the finals and they fear us...... and rightfully so!
