They played their best, and Sydney their worst. Don't know how you read too much into this, given Sydney spent most of the night kicking themselves out of a winning score.

 

[DangerousD]

Florent saved them, just smart footy. Swans 4-0, who woulda thought

Would love him at the Blues.

Buddy looked underdone, but if they can get him fit (and Reid stops cutting off his ball) look the fu** out. Most games have been more open than that, and he thrives in one on one environs.

Buddy is not underdone Geth . He was playing a midfield role around the ground especially at half forward . And drifted down back . He was going in hard .
And kicked a couple .

He was a looooong way from the Buddy Franklin who demands the ball, the bloke who relishes contest and contact.

He looked resigned and tired, and old tonight. I do not think he's past it, but that was the loosest jumper I've seen in about 8 years, and you don't wear loose jumpers at AFL level unless you've something to hide.

If The Swans had their kicking boots on, they would have won by 5 or 6 goals.

Really enjoying the sooking and melting on the * autopsy thread. Very enjoyable.

I hope your right

I saw a tough buddy willing in tight. Granted he didn’t play deep and lead . His up the ground work was good / team

* will only have a future if they get 4 quality talls in. I’m sure they’ll make a play for a seasoned forward or defender in the next few trade periods. But otherwise, I’m not worried about them. Feel some of their more seasoned players can be very hot and cold. A lot of other teams would have put them away tonight (a WCE/Port/Dogs etc) with the amount and type of chances the Swans had I feel. They fought and played well tonight though, intercept game and pressure was great.

* * though

Always a great game to watch when Essendone get done.

Umpires helped the swans which made it the more sweeter

fu** off, Brownie.

Tonight was probably the only game of actual footy I've seen this year. Essendon were good, Sydney were good, and both sides brought their pressure.

Footy's more than clean scoring and good kicking. Otherwise, we'd be playing AFLX.

aflx..............it will be recalled as people recall y2k................but with less fondness..............

OP on the * match thread tonight:

I hate this ******* game.

Robbed by the maggots.

29-16 free kicks.
Hickey caught holding the ball at least 3 times, and wasn’t paid once.

The list goes on.

Jobe has a unique grasp of the English language...

Did I hear interpretate earlier?

His English seems fine...

"Intepretating."

Jobe Watson, everyone.

Dad hits cringe button at home. Mum and sisters hit collective groan.

You sure did.
He is so bad commentating it's actually hilarious.

 

[gandaal]

I still find the Jobe love from the media bizarre. The guy is a convicted drug cheat and yet he's getting jobs in the media to which he's clearly unqualified and unsuited.

Is there any other major sporting code that treats their convicted drug cheats with such reverence?

Argentinian Soccer? Columbian Soccer?

 

[footyfan1978]

Essendun lost narrowly last night?
Damn, missed it but feel sorry for them... not

 

[Sector 7G]

3 out of 4 games * have allowed the opposition to kick 5 goals straight.

Smashed in the midfield, lacking key position players ( they do have a lot of young ones on their list). Should have lost by 5 goals

Injections had side effects.
