Great win .I am still pumped.A strange thing to say but I think P Burgoyne was put into the midfield to get away from Bevan who was keeping him posessionless(if Goodes can say outstatted I can say posessionless).
I would have liked to see how Bevo went on Ebert.
He was too fast for Leo but Bevo has a bit of speed and is pretty good overhead.Bevo has improved out of sight this year.
I have expressed my manlove for Moore in another thread but I choose to reiterate it in this thread.
Everitt and Jolly and were killed in the hit outs but Jolly was damaging around the ground especially when he went forward.
All in all a fantastic win.

I just wanted to add that despite what will be a few people saying we haven't beaten anyone in the last 2 weeks the way we have played has been awesome. According to the betting market we went supposed to win today,so thanks bookies and punters for inflating my collect .

Despite all this we are playing with fantastic intensity and great resolve. Like Roos kicked their butts after the bulldogs loss and has got something more from them. If we keep playing like this we are right in this season for the long haul and capable of going deep into September.

Please excuse me I am still on a high so I will conclude post 2000 with a big

GO SWANS.

Sorry, I'm still trying to work out how we conspired to lose to St Kilda. Other than that we have shown some encouraging signs but also some real head in hands moments - on a big plus our kicking accuracy was slightly better which was fantastic to see! Some great work from Moore and co, I would like to see Bird getting more time through midfield as Jack has started to thrive when given a chance.

Another example: a Port player throws the ball at a Swans shin and it goes over the boundary and they want out on the full. Shaw is a grade A blockhead.
ha!
tony shaw calls swans games like his family is playing us
i had to endure him with the rex hunt team last week, didn;t realise i'd get the same watching him on fox yesterday
i thought it was simply a pro-vic thing, but geez, against an ADELAIDE team
he must hate us

ah well, he can be this week's "Kleenex Tissues Sook of the Day"

That was the passion weve been missing. The ability to grind out a tough one and keep coming. That is our best win in some time and I'm happy with the team. Sure it's frustrating at times in a pressure game when you expect better skills but it's games like this that can make a season. It felt like everyone contributed, even if they got beat by an opponent they found a way to give something to the team. Jude Bolton's best game of the year and Moore continues to impress.

Great win.
i was waiting to see who finally gave jude a wrap
i know we had several winners yesterday, specially among the smaller blokes (moore, kirk, jack, bevan, buchanan, schmidt) but jude had a ripper, and he was one of the real key players who kept going, kept lifting us at the death

we lost because we allowed ourselves to fall into the chip-chip-go-nowhere stuff until too late
AND we kicked badly
bad kicking cost us in two losses (saints, dogs) and the roos draw
we've been going well, but yesterday i reckon we took another step
without much from our ruckman, and some really badly beaten defenders, and micky o being kept outa the game for most of it, we still led most of the day then somehow got out of the coffin at the end
mattner's tackle on pearce was probly the key moment

oh, and can i just say here (too scared to say it on the port board), daniel motlop is possibly the biggest pea-heart in the afl
yes, he has super talent, as shown in the last quarter, but if he'd played any of the first three quarters without his cloak of invisibility, they might not have trailed for so long
and he's got a nasty, whiny streak

Nice article on the AFL website. Seems Moore is acknowledging the fact that he could've kicked the goals in the two games (Saints, NM ?) and won it. Third time lucky :)
