The tagger is slowly and surely returning to the game. Two of them in one team is even better. And no team does it better than Sydney. The Swans dropped the blueprint of how to stop Carlton. It’s not exactly splitting the atom to say that Cripps and Walsh have to be curtailed, but the proof is in the doing and not the planning. James Rowbotham went to Cripps and James Jordan went to Walsh. Cripps had 24 and five clearances and Rowbottom had 19 disposals, six clearances and 16 tackles. Walsh had 20 and four score involvements against Jordan’s 16 and six score involvements. The Sydney plan allowed Warner, Gulden and Heeney to play without really worrying about the opposition’s two best players. What we learnt was 1. the Swans have the perfect midfield balance and 2. any team which doesn’t try to cool Cripps and Walsh has rocks in their head.

Will update as the podcasts are loaded up - so dont forget to come back for another look.






Haha - Bucks talk about us hassling them for lack of Swans love. First up and then last item which includes a mention of JJ/Swans tagging along as part of the art of tagging.


The Ratings from Whately and King - Swans first Daylight 2nd lol

I'm not sure Rowbottom was exactly tagging Cripps. He was just accountable for him. Surely it's not that unusual for players to have opponents they are accountable for at most points in a game (even if the match ups change throughout the game).

What should be alarming for Carlton is that they didn't seem to think Heeney or Warner deserved any attention at times during the game. The footage of both of them standing on their own in our forward line in acres of space is damning for Carlton.

Sorry if already posted:

Revisiting the Papley non-trade to Carlton back in 2019
Yeah, a big sliding doors moment! Bombers could've gotten a good deal out of the entire situation had Dodoro not tried to play hardball as much as he did.

I remember this article which puts what each club could've gotten in different scenarios as well:

Essentially, they could've replaced Daniher with Logan McDonald, but instead they ended up with Nik Cox.

Every centre stoppage Heeney is held

Sydney looked scary. Two people haven’t caused as much carnage as Chad Warner and Isaac Heeney since Jake and Elwood drove to Chicago.
