Our midfield pressure and impact has been down for two weeks now, which puts defenders under the pump. We've never been had super defensive players like Talia or Scarlett, it's always relied on dirty balls (teehee) coming in. Once/if our mids get back on top, you'll see the points against start...

Umpiring has been covered, but I need to say it anyway. What an absolute disgrace. I refuse to believe that we are a such an undisciplined and unskilled team that the discrepancy was so large once again. Truly Horse has to go back and coach our players to hover around the ball instead of...

Kennedy, Hanners and Parker were playing forward for a lot of the match I noticed. Definitely an opportunity to play the younger blokes in there. Only noticed BJ was playing in the second half - I wonder if that was the plan, or that's just BJ

Always good to not get a win in pre-season. Means things are tracking along nicely. Fox and Cameron were finds, Florent faded after his great first quarter which is to be expected for a young kid. Hope he does a Paps. Not much else to speak of, young and inexperienced defence were always...

Foxtel Play has a two week free trial

Have't seen Cameron's marking yet...

Can you do one of just his goal celebrations? Especially in slow mo - always hilarious to see how close he gets to taking someone's eye out

Yeah that's fair enough. Shame that we don't value defenders as much as a good goal.

Had a look at the rest of your comps, plenty of attacking players. Reckon Rampe's defensive highlights stack up pretty well. And dat hair/mo... #nohomo

Why would you cut out his mum? She is BOG

fair point. We've been penalized on and off the field for toeing the line, may as well go whole hog. Cola removed despite following guidelines, trade ban for no reason, academy picks system amended cuz of whinging, and now hardness unrewarded in favour of "free flowing footy". Sounds like a...

Can almost hear him biting his tongue to tell us what he really thinks. Classy dude, classy club. Behind closed doors they would be fuming, but they're bigger men than other club's administrators.

Mad as hell about how this all panned out. Swans pride themselves on going hard at the ball and playing fair. Seeing teams like Hawthorn getting away with "unsociable football" and even getting lauded for it always pissed me off. When it came to the big dance, I was looking forward to two teams...

Farking excited! Going in with a smaller mobile defence will be key. Drop Laidler and Marsh, Mills hopefully fully fit to come in, push Rohan back to defence. McVeigh to be as far away from a one on one contest as possible if he comes good. Not even sure he knows what the word "contest" means...

My biggest fear last night wasn't anyone in blue and white hoops, but Papley taking someone's eye out with his enthusiastic celebrations. There's a big wind up and follow through on his high fives and tens, and just the smallest slip could end in disaster. Such an amazing team effort. Looks...

Just realised that I gave Aliir a serve when he is still a youngster. Goes to show how well he has been doing previously! Kinda like how we bag Kennedy for having a quiet night when he only gets 29 possies.

Would have been an even bigger win if it wasn't for soft frees giving the Crows free run all game, and our missed opportunities from unpaid frees. We played pretty poorly in patches as well, so plenty of upside. Allir was a bit off tonight for whatever reason, tried to be a little bit too cute...

Big fan, try to do at least one class a week. Great form of physical mediation, focussed breathing, and quite challenging when done correctly. Great "soft" way to balance out my "hard" weights and martial arts

Strength doesn't equal power either. Squats are awesome, and given your objectives, I'd suggest plyo squats and lunges, bounding jumps, and variations of those that require explosive power. Launching your body will again develop those fast twitch fibres, and landing will work those knee and hip...

Hi Bonz - I am by no means sports physiologist or specialist trainer, but I can give you some general tips from a PT and martial arts perspective. Looks like your goal is to build strength and explosive power without putting on too much weight and bulk. Given about 6-7 weeks there isn't a...

Party time in the crowds too, first time in my recollection that the Mexican wave went around at a Swams game? My two cents on Reid is that his best position is on the wing, we have missed having a marking target down the line throughout the year. Doesn't go too bad in the middle either, he's...

That's why I love the Citibank clappers! Also lets me hold the Chardonnay in my other hand

Happy to scout it out for the North match

Bit of a weird game, thought Horse might have mixed the game plan up by playing on through the corridor at all costs. So often we just handpassed it to a running player who got tackled immediately. Wasn't surprised that we played much better in the 3rd quarter, unfortunately couldn't kick away...

Not even mad at the boys. Tough to be in that position for the third time this season, but they couldn't compete against 21 men on the field. We played better for most of the night, put plenty of pressure and great tackling that never got rewarded. I distinctly remember one passage where 2 or 3...

1. Sinclair 2. only 3 of our mids around the ball, not 8. Only so many players you can daisy chain handballs to

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Good one! Never laughed so hard in my life! I'd be surprised...

https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/afl/a/32025312/mark-duffield-swans-rebuild-seamless/#stop Despite criticisms from some (in the media and this board), hard to fault how we have gone about this year. Full credit to the coaching and development staff

Hard man to please... The gap between our worst and best would be one of the smallest in the comp. Maybe around the Adelaide and Hawks or so. Not sure if serious? I just want to highlight Buddy's game too. Only one goal, but his role as a true CHF up the ground was great and had a few solid...

Gun midfield when they're on, helped by having a quality ruckman back in. Hope Naismith stays injury free as he is a bit prone. Loving our young players, don't worry about Mitchell, make sure the next contract goes to Beatson. A confident and fit Rohan is a joy, Cats better keep their hands...
