7 were fine--no reason to believe they won't be agiain. 10 has always been crap--no reason to believe they won't be agiain.

If 4 marks to Maguire in the match is 'most of the time' it only supports my assertion the Hall was denied supply. I also dispute that any of those marks were in a contest against Hall (maybe one IIRC, but that was becasue Hall was so badly out of position due to the mis-direction of supply--and...

It's the nature of the game--defenders have an advantage. What's the average ratio of Forward 50 entries that result in goals? My guess, it's probably about 1 in 5. For example: Gehrig 8 possessions. Barry 16 possessions. Gehrig was a more important player tonight, than Leo Barry. Actually...

IMO criticsms of matchups (ie Barry Vs Gehrig) and game-style (ie playing possesion style football in the rain) are implicit criticisms of Roos. You'll have to explain this, but yes, Roos made mistakes and yes, we have some bad players (Barry on the night, Chambers always). Then why did they...

Don't we usually agree? Can't say I pay particular notice to usernames, but the only time I remember disagreeing with you was over trading a contracted Saddo for nothing. Anyway here's my position: 1. Hall is an elite player who had a poor game. 2. Maguire had a good player who had a good...

Hall didn't have many chances. Riewoldt took 'a' contested mark. I think that's within the statistical margin of error, so to speak. ;)

Trust me, there's more than a few Swans supporters blaming Roos' for that one. Leo Barry with no support at all? Insane. Gehrig had much better supply, too. Saints players adjusted to the conditions much better. Got the ball to him faster and therefore with more space. Still, did Gehrig take a...

:D LOL ...and you think I'm bullshyt-ing?

Hall's problem was 90% supply, 9% weather and 1% Maguire.

Re: Game of the year! St Kilda Sydney Good loss for the Swans. Will teach us we can't play one quarter of football a game and win (at least all the time). Should be a useful wake-up call. BTW did anyone else get a laugh out of Tim Lane (in the last quarter) constantly talking about last...

Agreed. ..and the bizarre thing is everyone who follows football knew it was ridiculous. How could Kanagroos' recruitment, not?

That's correct. Goodes touched the ball 48 times, was BOG by every newspaper and commentator, considered by Swans' fans to be the only one from our side actually trying--and gets no votes. Buckley (17D) was tagged by Kirk (19D) and got one vote. Which was totally bizarre, because both those...

Re: Scott Stevens Found it: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,19421241-2722,00.html So, in summary, Swans' fans are unlikely to be upset that we let one go?

Scott Stevens G'Day Crows... I notice Scott Stevens is getting a game with you guys at the moment. I always thought he had talent when he was at the Swans, but he looked a little intimidated at seniors level. (IIRC correctly his last game with the Swans was the Port Adelaide upset final...

IMO Goodes' best ever individual performance was 2 weeks before that final, when he single-handedly kept the Swans in the game against Collingwood (28D, 20HO). Another was late last year against Adelaide, again in a losing side (I believe he received 3 Votes in the Brownlow). As for the...
