Review Round 16: West Coast v Sydney Match Discussion Thread

[Tedeski]

Season high 53 clearances despite losing hitout count 30-69
Equal season high 102 tackles
Season high 72 one-percenters
Kept opposition to season low 2 marks inside 50
First time this season we had more contested possessions than uncontested ones (192 v 184)

Season high one game clear on TOP OF THE LADDER grim too.

What a fantastic effort from our team after being 1 & 3 with the whole footy world, media and public, hating on us something severe.

I know we still have a long way to go but .................to any of those haters that read our threads, just stick it a little up yourselves, but just leave enough length so you can stick the rest up there should we win the flag!

We were comfortably the better team on the day, but I felt we were a little wasteful in front of goal (perhaps I am being too harsh given the conditions). Richards and Grundy were rock solid in defence again apart from one error by Ted (?) that led to an Eagles goal. Was sitting a couple of bays along from the Swans supporter group on the upper level at the city end who did a fantastic job leading the chants and making themselves heard -- incredible that Patersons/Subi has become such a happy hunting ground for us now!

Anyone remember that final from 2003 or 2004 with the lightning?

Yep, I was there.. Great spectacle by Mother Nature & for once, I actually picked great seats. The seats two rows ahead of us got drowned whereas we were dry all night. The only issue was that we sat next to the West Coast people.. but they shut up fairly quickly...

Basil commentating bugger

The only guy in history to have a bigger nose than Dean Cox & the Concorde put together... and as intelligent as ass end of the Queen Mary... (not very)

Actually im warming to the audio cuts, less Basil!

Channel 7 read this... You ARE A POOR QUALITY OUTLET PRODUCING POOR QUALITY FEED... even when we can hear the commentators... Shame Ch.7.. Shame.

I thought B. Jack was ok, same as Rohan.

For me, I want Derickz back in with Pyke out.

I thought Pyke did well against 2 ruck men, especially when Cox was having a bit of a revival of form. Last week he smashed The Mummy. What's not to like ? He'll get better as the games come.

I rode Pykey pretty hard during that game. Has to be said. But around half time I checked out the clearance stats and calmed right down.

It's a new kind of normal for me following a Swans outfit so accomplished with so little first use of the ball from hitouts.

I'm learning to love it though.

during the game i find it hard not to panic and get filthy

but of late you rewatch the replay and think what was the concern

we had that game controlled pretty well
