Review 3 things you learnt v tigers

[The King!]

1- close games can be awful
2- buddy carried the side tonight
3- good teams win playing awful and you cant sneeze at 9 in a row

 

[Chaisa]

1. It's good to see we can win despite playing poorly.
2. Buddy, WAG. Been a star since missing the Brisbane game.
3. I'll move on....

 

[MarkP]

1. Jones can play. Cool under pressure and has a crack.

2. Buddy is a beast. Any whorke flog that deludes themselves they are better without him I lol at

3. We are a great team. can play shite and still win. That does take some doing.

 

[Superstar swan]

1.did what we needed to win, after such a massive game game last week, it's good to see that we dug in to get the points.

2.buddy was sensational again tonight, cannot get a free but just does it himself . Where are the critics now?

3. Jones was very good. Very composed. Knew exactly where his team nets were and was able to stand up in tackles and find them. Great tackling pressure

 

[stimpy870]

1. People talk about the best kicks in the competition but I tell you what kennedy is the best handball in the competition, in the middle of the pack he nails a handball out the side and we are away, just amazing to watch.

2. Franklin worth every cent worked hard off the ball and really earnt his goals tonight.

3. injuries are starting to become an issue, tippet, hannerbery, mcglynn now Shaw....... Starting to add up too quickly for me.

 

[Cadsky]

1. ZAK JONES! Absolute beauty! Finally a first round pick that isnt a spud.

2. There are some sore bodies that could do with a rest. Shame they spudded up the first 4 weeks.

3. Sticking with the spud theme. The umpires. Need I say more?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

1. Really worried we seem to be picking up a injury per game heading to the deep end of the season...

2. Pyke and Derickx in the same side just cant work.

3. Buddy won us another game of his boot.. thats 8 points we would not have without him.

 

[Dan87]

1. Franklin worth every cent. We seem to be backing in his ability to take on the game. Great idea. Seemed to be suppressed a bit in the last few seasons- you beauty!

2. Kennedy putting in a Brownlow season, pending the master of course

3. Great signs from youth.

4. Longmire can spray.

 

[MickyG]

1. Ugly is a very good description sometimes
2. Richmond are very ordinary, they should have buried us in the first half. Half our best players had below usual games but the young guys stood up and showed some stamina and fortitude. Well done Cunningham and BJ - best games?
3. I like Zak.

 

[base615]

1. Buddy is killing it. He was scragged and tripped to high heaven yet still made the difference
2. Zak Jones looks like a great pick
3. Worst umpiring performance I've ever seen, both ways. Just incompetent

 

[MARK In TIME]

1. Buddy once again saved us on his newer model left pin - the accurate one. I don't know what you've done to him Dicky Navis, but its working.

2. Zak Jones looked so poised. Didn't do a lot, but what he did do was smart, clean and composed.

3. Injuries are starting to really scare me. We're probably 1 or 2 more from looking really fragile.

 

[Punts]

1 : Cunningham showed again that he can find the Footy when not doing a run with role and is a very versatile player ( best game to date and stood up when the chips were down ).

2 : Got smacked on here all summer saying we couldn't play 2 rucks and Tippett like last year , pretty sure last night shows that again ( even just the 2 rucks last night wasn't right let alone Rex , Tippett , Pyke in the same team.

3: Midfield has been down for a few weeks now which is a little concerning.
3a : Grundy is in career best form and cops far to much shit on here at times
3b : Like I said when I saw Jones in the pre season that he is a hard nut

 

[Swan Dive]

1. The accumulating injury list is a major concern.
2. Last week's match against Port took a lot out of us.
3. Richmond have matched up well against us for some time now.

 

[Faysals Swans]

We can play shit an win

Pyke an derickz are not fit to tie tippets shoelaces an can definitely not play together

Jones looking good, as was cunningham, great to see the youngsters step up

On a side note the swans crowd at the ground was amazing, wouldnt be surprised if we had them outnumbered, out of the 35k there id say we had about 15-18k

 

[Grongey]

1. Buddy had a tough opponent, but still kicked 4 to get us home. But we'll need Tippett back for the finals

2. Special mention to the contributions of Cunningham and Reid (2 goals), young players getting better all the time

3. Bird, who shut down Cotchin after half time

 

[LukeParkerno1]

3. Bird, who shut down Cotchin after half time

This....but I will say this...why wasn't he on Cotchin from the first quarter? Seemed like the logical matchup all week.

 

[momentbymoment]

1. Hawks are a better team without Buddy.

2. We are a better team with Buddy.

3. A win/win trade. What are they complaining about???

 

[Bonz]

1. Goodes can still run in the midfield (didn't get the ball a heap but it was nice to see him at a few centre bounces)

2. Didn't know Cunningham could find that much if the ball (was very impressed with his performance)

3. Really think the D-Train needs a bit of a rest looks tired and sore.

 

[The King!]

This....but I will say this...why wasn't he on Cotchin from the first quarter? Seemed like the logical matchup all week.

Umm longmire was tired from the port game

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Umm longmire was tired from the port game

I couldn't catch the first half was Jack on Cotchin?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I couldn't catch the first half was Jack on Cotchin?

Whoever was in him wasn't on him! Had 20 disposals halfway through the 2nd term

 

[The King!]

I couldn't catch the first half was Jack on Cotchin?

He seemed alone

One stoppage kennedy noticed he was alone and went to him

We were switched off

 

[momentbymoment]

1. Kennedy needs help in the midfield.

2. We need Some hard bodies in there - guys that can move their weight around and dish out the ball.

3. Mitchell's time has come. Or Jones??

 

[strauchanie59]

Yeah he had 20 possies in the first half, but how many of them were backwards or seagulling on the outside? Was hardly damaging with them.

 

[momentbymoment]

1. The last two weeks, teams have shut down our running game.

2. It is the running and quick fire passes that is the Swans brand.

3. The running game comes as a result of our pressure. We surge forward and build momentum which blows the opposition away.

The key to success - is pressure. Absolute pressure.
