Saw that, wondered why it wasn't a 50... deliberate and professional delaying tactic.

I think that Charlie and Phillips also went in! Used to be in the past that opposition players could rough our boys up and no one would go in to fly the flag...

Sumner's effort to provide support was also as impressive.
Too cliched.
He can improve, but he'll have to.

Only thing that would turn that into a true Carlton hating selection panel would be Gerald Healey...

I reckon that we might see DVR, McKay and Cuningham all play in the last couple of games of the season.
Will be awesome to see them play, good for the club and the fans.

Understand what you're getting at, but I'm pretty sure I read after his bags of 4 that he led all afl first year players for goals kicked in the VFL. I reckon more than a few sides would reward that with a call-up.
I thought Boekhorst was pretty good in his first game back after being out for so long, really loved that chase and tackle, reckon Bolts will be showing that a few times to the boys this week.

Great efforts blues.
Sumner with a pre season will be dangerous. Boek did * all in my opinion...sure he chased and tackled that guy and all. but ball wacthing for the most part and yes I know he isnt an inside player but having to tackle someone isnt part of a choice someone needs to make - they just need to DO IT.
Kerridge if he ever slows down his possessions and hits targets 100% of the time will probably be better than most players in the league as he does get to everything.
The rest ... did what I expect them to do when they are fighting for position/pride and self respect as a club and individual. Sydney as a team and location are just s**t holes so I dont care about them at all.
Who is next ? oh the hawks..
chalk up a win there for us

Can't stop watching the Boekhorst chase down. Starts off just inside 50, then in the blink of an eye he's in the centre square, maintains pressure and it's some sort of magic. I mean I know he's fast, but everytime I watch I think no way he can catch him then all of a sudden. Bang. Loved it. One of the best highlights of the season.

yeah was awesome... probaby his best game for us so far... he has a lot to work on though.

Boeky seeing an arm guard that obviously affects his ball handling and Han allying. Pretty good effort all game and that was best chase down I can recall.
We have to find somebody better than Graham.
White doing better than I thought he could well but is redlining.
Sumner is close but needs to do more.
SOS is impressive. Will soon have a breakout game goal wise, but I would assume match committee is happy with effort and pressure acts.

Sumner just needs the preseason.
He is star material.

Sumner - he doesn't get enough of it at this stage - but if he stays fit and does a preseason he could be anything .... Bolts clearly loves him and says just keep playing him
Same with SOSOS - i'd rather him be quiet in AFL, but show glimpses and get an education than get some easy kicks in VFL
Agree with thoughts of Crouch over Prestia as off season target.
SOS going after Marchbank from GWS it seems - wonder if he has cooled on Tomlinson (who hasn't impressed this year in limited chances)

For me best thing about the game was our ability to control momentum.
I felt that the Swans were pressing quite hard in the first 1/4 but not always going at 100%. We defended well and every time they had a lapse we took advantage of it.
They started the second by dialling it up a notch and again , we absorbed what they had and then started cutting them up with our own attacking effort.
The first 20 minutes of the third was all Sydney, but again we managed to pressure them sufficiently to the point that they didn't bang on 5 goals in 5 minutes at any one point . That was the underlying threat with the Swans, you could tell they had been stung . But they couldn't maintain it and we snagged some late ones to keep us close.
Last quarter was an arm wrestle and one we won, but couldn't finish the job.
Enjoyed it immensely . My daughter and I were walking around the house with our chests puffed at half time and pretty happy at the end.

I'd say the same with Plowman as well Lance.
Upon reflection of yesterdays game, I reckon that was our best game for the year behind our win against Geelong.
Really does prove what we can do when we switch on and play 4 quarters of footy.
Next week will be a fantastic challenge to take on the big boys at their fortress in Tasmania.
couldnt agree more. be nice to see boekhurst sumner silvagni plowman charlie weitering mckay & cuningham all afl fit and ready

been very impressive for me. calm and assured and can play. imagine when he's fit.
That was my line of thinking as well Soapy. He and Weitering are going to make a pretty impressive duo down there for the next decade or so. Would love to be able to add Marchbank to that equation as well.
i dont know much about marchbank but a lot of people really like him. i think our defence is looking really good. weitering g-mac plowman maybe jaksch & marchbank supported by rowe & white then add byrne docherty simpson tuohy buckley lamb curnow maybe sheehan could compete with anyone
a gun midfield will really help
