Review Round 19 - Sydney Swans vs Essendon - Match Discussion Thread

[DST]

Still issues with our spread , and other teams cutting us up at times

Not so much of an issue if you get first hands on the ball at clearances and control the game from there.

Hannabery has a big say in our spread when he is back as well. Another midfielder being able gut run at an elite level just spreads the workload and we have missed that in the last 6 weeks.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Towers was better than Shaw.

 

[Punts]

Grundy showed why he should considered for all aus

 

[Cadsky]

If you were at the ground towers worked hard of the ball , probably more thanjetta

Every time he went near it he fumbled it. Its like he gets to the ball and the gets a sudden rush of stage fright. Have seen nothing to suggest he deserves a spot in the side.

 

[Number37]

It is absolutely terrific that the team is playing shite at the moment. Let's keep our best footy for September. If we play our best in September nobody will get near us.

 

[Punts]

Reid was beaten by Hurley

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Reid was beaten by Hurley

Hurley took some very good marks, but we kicked to his advantage a few times.

 

[Millky95]

Did anyone else want a head count during that third term? I swear at every contest they had an extra man. Alright win but still have some more work to do. Reid looked out of sorts in the game. Towers was fumbly. Parker, McGlynn and Rohan very good. Tippett, he is getting there. Two more games and he will be in full swing

 

[The King!]

Hawthorn and essendon fans back to back is an interesting look at humanity

, bring on the port fans a decent bunch of people

 

[Punts]

Horse has already confirmed hanners , let's hope anyway

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Was gonna go and give a positive message on the Essendon board for their performance but looking at the title think i might stay away hehe.

 

[DonsRule]

Well played, better team won on the night for sure.

You always seemed to have more numbers around he ball. Pressure caused us to panic kick long, you seems and you guys had someone sitting waiting for it al night.

 

[Faysals Swans]

quick question, apparently less than 1,000 tickets were left for sale to the public, which begs the question where the f*** was everyone?

 

[The King!]

Anyone keep membrey in?

Crowd of almost 37k reckon a few stayed away due to the extreme cold!

 

[The King!]

Free kick whinging is getting tiresome every time we play these pricks

Their fans need to accept they are middle of the road

Though i think we will take a hit in the power rankings

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Anyone keep membrey in?

Not sure mate i reckon we might go for Hanners, Buddy in for Membrey, Towers.

 

[Millky95]

Anyone keep membrey in?

If Franklin is out, yes. I wouldn't mind him in for Reid if Reid is sore from the night or is just out of form.

Possibly:
IN: Hanners, Franklin
OUT: Towers, Reid/Membrey

Was still more than both Rugby games put together

Thats pretty pathetic

Yer in the past i have just rolled my eyes but tonight ok ok i will say no more you will probably kill me

couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, prime time game against another top 8 aspirant, and with all the talk during the week thought we could get the 40k again, dont think we will ever pack it unless its a final.

 

[The King!]

If reid didnt chop out in the ruck id be tempted to give membrey a go

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Thats pretty pathetic

Maybe they heard the news Buddy was out and went back into their cars

 

[MF]

I thought Towers looked overwhelmed against the Eagles, looked promising last week but tonight... He looked like a 24 year old athlete who was playing his first handful of games of footy at any level. I hope I'm wrong but he looks like a waste of space on our list at this stage. Great pace and agility for his height, good effort, terrible football ability.

Ur right dont mind me

Theres a difference between a rub of the green versus tin hat idea they were robbed when theu never even lead
