Observations

[Leg End]

1. Structure - it's taken 7 months, as expected, but back, middle, forward now have a pretty good structure - post CBolton/Bradshaw losses.
2. Intensity - take a 80% flashy team and watch the Swans nail them to the wall. To beat Sydney, you now need to outmatch their intensity, toughness, tackling, effort in contests - and you need to do this for the full game. No-one wants to play Sydney in a final - especially not now.
3. Ray Chamberlain - disgraceful showpony lime-lighting tinpot hero. The stage is for the players, not for the umpires. Malcolm Blight cpmmented that, when Chamberlain explained one decision, that umpire doesn't even know the rules.
4. Eddy Maguire - got it so wrong. deep down, everyone wants their club to have the character, guts, belief, team philosophy of the Swans.

We're still in the finals. we're a big chance against the Hawks. If we get to play the Pies, well, I wouldn't write us off. Only 6 points last time we played.

Go Bloods!

Time to 'fess up Leg End. We both know that you and razor ray are actually the same person and that you're merely using this forum to further promote your own notoriety.

Mmmm - if that were true, my posts would be along these lines:

"Did you see that little legend control the game last Saturday. Man - he knows the rules like no-one else AND he has the guts to make the big decisions and explain them perfectly every time. Wow - the game has never been better since we started noticing this guy. Sometimes, i just find myself following him around the field and completely ignore where the ball is or what the score is! The AFL needs to throw some serious dough at him because we need Razor in our game. He rules!"
