Autopsy 33 point win against Adelaide

[Heeney2Franklin]

Absolutely blistering first quarter then the Crows scrapped and fought it out extremely well and we were ordinary.

Kicked 118 but conceded 85 as well.

Game was over after the first quarter it was just about the margin in the end would of been nice to continue on but ehhh.

Main thing? we banked the 4 points after a tough trip from WA.

Take it anyday of the week.

 

[RUNVS]

I am relieved for the win but the fact we only played well in the first and maybe fourth quarter is concerning.

 

[MF]

Can't complain with that. We're a 6 to 8 goal better side than the crows so close to the mark in the end and we bank the 4 points.

Blakey, Papley, Stephens, Franklin all very good

 

[sr20]

Weird feeling when you kick 9 goals to 2 in the first quarter, win, and feel like you’ve got more negatives than positives to talk about

 

[Punts]

I have shat on Stephens but he was very good today , might just start get going

Chad speed from congestion at on the run is just about the best

Our inconsistency over quarters is frustrating

Blakey is becoming a defender now , not just a running hb

Hicky imo had a purple patch last year and looks finished

Some run of hb at centre bounces from Florent are good

We still need a clearance machine to win the flag IMO

I would like to shout out to Andy Maher, who I usually like, on SEN's coverage for still perpetuating the 'Sydney crowds are new to AFL' rubbish that has not been relevant for probably close to 20 years.

When Dawson was taking his shot at goal he started hearing the crowd boo and went something like "that's a fair dinkum boo isn't it? Good to see the Sydney fans embracing what makes our sport uniquely great" and it was as condescending as it reads.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I'll take that. Crows played well and kept us honest after quarter time. We showed we could turn it on when firing, we showed that we were able to hold them off and lifted in the 4th.

The Liz was very influential.

Great performance. No criticism from me.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

I think that was a good win off a trip to Perth.

 

[RUNVS]

I also think Hickey is lacking match fitness.

Wow

. The definition of a diamond in the rough. Had an amazing game.

I also think Hickey is lacking match fitness.

Hickey is lacking fairly critical parts of his knee.

 

[Millky95]

I hope Hickey is OK

Votes were hard, no real stand-outs no real flops either

I did feel like they were able to score really easily. Not sure if we just had bad match ups in defense

Pathetic comment from him, and deserves a good blast.

Commentators also mentioned the crowd getting vocal whenever the liz touched the ball. Surely us clueless swans fans would only cheer bud and Heeney, and fall in silence when the other 20 unknown players touch the ball.

I also think Hickey is lacking match fitness.

I'd almost just give him 3Q in reserves, need to get him right for finals without overdoing it. Thought McLean looked alright in reserves, and although I favour Logan, could just play the 3 part timers against the Giants.

 

[Ticky009]

Pressure was elite in the first quarter. Took the Crows out of the game and they struggled for the rest of it.

great game and Stephens is really starting to settle now. Papley & Franklin both strong today.

Ladhams can't come back quick enough. JMac is still not right and if we had someone who had his speed in the twos I think he'd be close.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Think Hickey is close to done that knee must look shocking internally.

To be honest I don't think his comments are that inaccurate. Our home support is pretty lacklustre at times. We don't give it to the opposition or the umpires like other non Vic crowds do.

Having attended many, many scg games it's more of a social atmosphere than games anywhere else in the country.

And that's to be expected in a non traditional afl state really. It's amazing what our club has achieved in NSW.

 

[Bloods86]

Also seconding others, Hayward has impressed me the last few weeks after wanting him dropped. Pretty much a repeat of last year.

Who would think Stephens gets better with consecutive opportunities

 

[SwansProudly]

11 goal kickers, Franklin Hayward both 3, Heeney and Papley 2, one each for Amartey, Clarke, Gulden, Mills, Reid, Stephens, Warner.

Really agree about JMac. Just not able to kick well, and seems hesitant with kicking and running.

I was sure we would lose this, even more after the second and third quarter.

Blakey fought with fate and won.

Very happy.
