Just watching that replay, in the 2nd quarter that Blakey poster could have been one of the best long running goals I have seen in years. He looked so casual when running and no one was catching him

Great post.But that also must come from having confident players around him, having faith in the team around him ... it's not like he was crap from the off, he obviously had considerable skills and ability, but he must've lost a lot of self-belief in the past few seasons with things going wrong all over the field, mistakes, breaking down under pressure, different game style ... to have the confidence to know now that someone will be on the receiving end, in the right position, will hold that mark, rather than be pressured into more mistakes, that then have a domino effect on players' confidence in their skills, etc ... and as i've posted earlier, the more this group stay together and keep playing this way, keep building faith and confidence in each other, the better the individuals and the team will be ...
He kicks that ....and its Blakey for the lock.Just watching that replay, in the 2nd quarter that Blakey poster could have been one of the best long running goals I have seen in years. He looked so casual when running and no one was catching him
My favourite goal of the year so far. Non-preferred to boot as well.

This really is the big story. Where the f*** did our new-found accuracy come from?
I keep having to scratch myself. The Sydney Swans??!! Accurate??!!
Whichever coach is responsible for it, sign them up for a hundred years.
I’ve looked at Warner’s a few times. Kennedy’s work creating that space then scrap kicking into that space should not be underestimated.equal with Warners burst out of the centre!!!
I thought he was going the banana off the right, but when he kicked it I was speechless. I cannot comprehend that kind of skill and the courage to use it like that.My favourite goal of the year so far. Non-preferred to boot as well.

We didn't beat them at their own game. We beat them with our game.
Harwick can do one. Drinking his own bathwater.
Prestia and Cotchin out now, they are done. Won't be a factor this year. The new rules have done in their zone, and Hardwick the genius is seemingly last to realise what's happening. Even the Dons have figured it out.
I have to agree.To those defending Hardwick (C88, Bonz.....)
I apologise for calling Hardwick a condescending *******. It was in the heat of the moment and my wife was pulled me up telling I was wrong. Ive apologised to Damien and he's taken it as well as he could.
Bulls***.. What he said is condescending! We are the Swans,,, We played like the Swans. just as there are 17 other teams who play like themselves.
Hahaha love this.We didn't beat them at their own game. We beat them with our game.

First you develop a plan that doesn’t involve kicking it long down the line. Then you practice the plan. Then you play it.This really is the big story. Where the f*** did our new-found accuracy come from?

Part of that is set up too.Warner is a better player now than zak jones ever was or will ... i get the thing about hardness but jones also played with that macho dumbness that i think affected whatever skills he had ...
Seeing the analysis on how we blunted Dusty was really eye-opening.Fair enough mikey, but I think it actually sells ourselves short to not acknowledge that Richmond are a great side that we obviously did a lot of homework on to be able to nullify them. They have been the benchmark for team-wide pressure and work rate, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if we studied their blueprint to use it against them.
We exploited his allowance to not run defensively. I think I saw him kick to a player that marked it cleanly about 3 timesSeeing the analysis on how we blunted Dusty was really eye-opening.
JPK and Parky bumping him away from the ball at centre bounces. Not a hard tag, getting between him and where he wants to be and making a handball to him much riskier. Then George the magnet when he goes forward. Again, not a hard tag, just a solid defensive cover.
Sure he picked up 20 possessions but his effectiveness was slashed. He was tired too from the constant attention.
Great analysis and terrific execution.
This is going to give Dimma headaches for a while. For sure the Port analysts will have noted how it was done and they certainly have the cattle to do it just as well as we did. They may have to start Dusty away from the centre.We exploited his allowance to not run defensively. I think I saw him kick to a player that marked it cleanly about 3 times

He was also talking about how we were getting from contest to contest working hardI saw the Hardwick thing differently I think?
The comment about being Richmond like was after about a minute or so of talking about how good we were. He also said SOME of it was Richmond like and followed up with talk about forward half turnover and pressure being strong, which have been hallmarks of Richmond. It was also I think the third question posed to him, he didn’t come out of the blocks and go “oh wow, I just felt like we played Richmond”.
I am not defending Hardwick, I couldn’t care less about him, but I just didn’t find it condescending on first listen or again now trying to workout why people are upset.
