Game Day Swans v Giants - Rd 12, 2020

[Skeparovic]

enjoyable

real team effort, always running working for each other

Reckon that's one of the best two quarters of intensity and pressure Swans have brought in years.

 

[Jeffers]

meliCAN today. Hope he keeps it up

 

[Citrus22]

Parker up and about with 18 after a poor game last week by his standards

 

[Ticky009]

I got a bad feeling about getting run over in the laat

Yeah, I'm thinking the same. If the GWS find their radar we're toast.

 

[Swansujelly]

I got a bad feeling about getting run over in the laat

no, the calamari has spoken. pro tip..mayo, sirracha chilli sauce and some lime juice is the business

 

[The King!]

I will take a decent lead but man footy is so defensive focused these days. Coaches trying to keep their jobs...

we are pretty attacking so far by modern standards, i agree overall re modern footy

 

[ScrewInStuds]

Stephens repeat efforts are massive. Have seen him bounce up and have a 3rd, 4th, 5th crack at it. A little bit excited at his speed of development.

 

[Mister B]

10 out of 10 to our backline for the last 6-7 minutes. Let's be honest, GWS shouldn't have a goal to their name.

Even performance across the ground. Disposal has been pretty good, workmate huge. Pressure all over the ground phenomenal. Dawson, Rowy, Parker, Blakey, Ramps and Meli some of the standouts for me. Sinkers, Stephens and Foot have shown little glimpses at times.

Really happy with this effort. We deserve the lead and at this point I will be disappointed if we lose. That being said, GWS have the greater talent available to them so if they switch on, we will have to work hard to hold on.

 

[Olian]

When are we relocating to Optus?

 

[JeremyVanHolden]

Great half, brought it all day. GWS will have their purple patch for sure soon, if we weather that and keep the pressure up we will win comfortably!

Rowbottom a gun and backs going very very well. More of the same next half!!

 

[mikey_san]

Florent poor again so far

Needs the Blakey week off. Will come back in Brownlow form.

 

[The King!]

no, the calamari has spoken. pro tip..mayo, sirracha chilli sauce and some lime juice is the business

i find it too chewy

 

[Bonz]

We have a young team, this is highly likely.

But we have shown a heap in this first half. Namely Blakey to be a permanent midfielder.

 

[swanssince2002]

Florent needs a stint if this keeps going. McInerney in.

 

[Dangas]

Impressive half. We need to keep it going in the second.

 

[Swansujelly]

i find it too chewy

my local fish shop has quality stuff, no chewy calamari here.

 

[Corpuscles]

MORAL VICTORY = ACHIEVED

they should be aiming at premiership. we are just learning their names!


MELICAN -champ - a block a hand pass a spoil and some other very good stuff.

Going cheap for some selective tasteful buyers!

 

[Punts]

Not sure on Blakey’s celebrations

Let dusty and buddy take care of that

 

[mikey_san]

Stephens repeat efforts are massive. Have seen him bounce up and have a 3rd, 4th, 5th crack at it. A little bit excited at his speed of development.

Amazed to see he only had 4 possessions. Seemed to pop up everywhere. 5 tackles is a great effort. Really pleased with him tonight.

 

[The Gong]

Learnt a bit this game.

Seen a new game plan. Looks far quicker
Rowbottom is it
Blakey is a mid
Stephens looks likely

It's been the gameplan for two seasons.

 

[Donza]

Iizard. You complete me

 

[The King!]

foot had some almost moments, seems like he is reluctant to kick

 

[tombomb]

Sign Rowbottom up for 10 years.

He’s that good.

Rather than 'reaching' for free agents (like Daniher), we should be using any spare cap we have to sign players like Rowbottom and Dawson to very long term front ended deals.

It is never that simple, but signing our good younger players up long term should be the priority.

 

[The King!]

number 20 has done his usual nothing

 

[Tedeski]

Sinclair playing his best game for the year & proving tgat we are a 100% better team with a ruckman just beaking even.
Still will be tough to hang on as we saw how their only goal was gifted by an umpire who thought he saw something that wasn't there. They will see things to bring them back into the game.

Need something more from Reidy & other forwards. Backline have been brilliant but can't do it for 4 quarters.
We always drop a quarter so we need to pinch goals.
We'll need to hit 70 points to win this one.
