I want to know who was coaching?? I mean Brad shifts players around and finally uses Jack as a power forward??

Boomer!

I just wish Swallow could kick

 

[Jay-Z]

Was Huge.

So was Jack.

We still trading them?

Haha great thread.

Lucky Scotty listened to Arjen and played them in the back pocket... wait... what!

 

[Roos Addick]

Was about to start the same thread. Did what a captain should do last 5 minutes. Sensational.

This. So much this. That last 5 mins [emoji173]️

 

[Roos Addick]

Great bump. Such a captain in the last 5-10mins today.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Probably the best last quarter by any player this year.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Please burn this thread to the ground now.

 

[Roobound]

Probably the best last quarter by any player this year.

From a personal point of view l really liked Dangerfields last qtr

 

[Kanga1996]

Originally wanted JZ to take over the captaincy but Swallow is slowly reminding me why he was chosen.

 

[Kanga1996]

Dennis pegan said he wanted Carey as captain because the players would follow him .. The board wanted wayne schwass .. Pegans first request as coach was to get Carey as Captain ..

Not so sure it's that clear cut for us ..

Yeah well they don't call him Splatter for nothing. :stern look

Might get a late 3rd for them, do we have a sweetener? :stern look

 

[Kimbo]

Actually, the whole formal leadership group were good today. In the case of Dish and Spitta, when they are tackling well it makes a difference and sends a message.

 

[hotham]

Great captains game Spitta. Fantastic

 

[Zondor]

Would you guys do Splatter for Bennell? :stern look

 

[scooby1279]

excellent last 10 min of the game from Swallow exactly what the top captains do. Awesome.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Onya spitta!

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Spittake. Well, Spittakeover.

 

[Benno_900]

Stoppages in this clip: 8
Swallow gets first possession: 6
Swallow gets clearance: 4

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Was fantastic in the last quarter, but a lot of his clearances were the 'throw on the boot' kicks that Ziebell gets slated for. Are the different standards applied because Jack is probably the best kick in the team?

 

[King Corey]

Andrew Swallow played a great captain's game yesterday. :tips hat

I think the critics of Ziebell's kicking are probably the same people who underrate Swallow.

A few of the quick kicks will not come off, but the first possession and clearances are well worth it.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Haha great thread.

Lucky Scotty listened to Arjen and played them in the back pocket... wait... what!

He did listen to me.

I'm sure I said Ziebell should be permanent forward which kinda worked ok. And I said that they should be out of the centre square as much as possible early in games to allow us to throw them in there when we need it.

Ie: the 2nd half.

Not only was it a brilliant tactic which won us the game. It served to remind the world what a s******ing little turd you are.

Liked that post purely for the last line.
