Barlow kicked a good goal for the Dogs, looked mobile, 16 possies, better than half the side

I wasn't excited by Barlow's game today. He still missed targets when under pressure. he's part of the dogs fall not rise.

It was a wonderful night last night in Perth as the WA Swans supporters group hosted a tribute to Micky O'Loughlin. Micky talked about how he had grown into a man at the Swans from a shy aboriginal lad, and paid tribute to the Swans for making him the man he is today.
Obviously, lots of us have loved his footy, but he is now such a gracious, articulate, affable, successful man. He showed such respect for his Mum and his beginnings and his family.
One video had "Fitzy" claiming to be Tony Lockett. It was hilarious. Trent Denis-Lane's Dad, Gerald, sang a tribute " A Better Man" at the end. It was awesome!
If all the Swans ever did was develop a man like Micky O. they would still be the best team to follow.
Have to support the Goodes-O'loughlin Foundation whenever possible.Micky didn't talk specifically about "giving back", it just permeated his language.

A great review, thanks for sharing!

I watched Micky O in the legends game recently. Still looked good with the footy and his movement just has a sort of style. Almost looked like he could still play for us, or maybe just me dreaming.

Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but one N.Davis slotted a lazy 12 majors for the Balmain Dockers on the weekend in the Sydney AFL.
Fun to watch

Pat and Ed have just won the foxtel cup with Williams Town both looked very good today

Along with Dane Rampe, a Sydney product who played a few games with the reserves a couple of years back.

Williamstown, Soph. Those two are both spuds and will be bit players for Footscray. Vez has not learnt from his time in Sydney.

Willo named the Dogs' caretaker coach as another former Swan gets the chop.

I have no idea why but I find it difficult to see Williams in a senior coaching gig. it just doesn’t seem to fit.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I think he is a coach that a club could take on. Think the Crows would be a good option. Eade should go to the Demons.

Pats getting his 1st game for the dogs YAY

I agree Cas, doesn't seem to have the right mojo for a senior job

Thats how desperate Footscray are

Is he definitely in? On the extended bench

 

[SM]

Pat, Barlow and Hall in the team, coached by Williams.

Wow...

 

[Gus]

It's only Power, and we may as well give him a run.

I mean, you guys gave Everitt a run. And you found out he was shit. Now it's our turn I guess.

 

[.Shotties.]

Wouldn't say that. Kicked the winner over at Subi and two critical goals in a 9 point win.

 

[Gus]

but aside from that, what has he done?

I remember he lit it up for us vs Collingwood once, in the game where we just got 3rd spot ahead of them. He does good things but nothing inbetween.

No you're spot on, he is gash

 

[Gus]

Vesz is definitely playing.

 

[Dangas]

Gus is right, so far Dre has done nothing real special

 

[grimlock]

A vez report please. How did he go?

 

[baja]

4 kicks(1 goal), 3 handballs, 1 tackle from 30% game time..

Paul Williams begging to coach full time next year.
