Agree...Levi was out of touch and dropped a few easy marks and is lacking confidence.....
Josh Kennedy seems to save his best for us too.....broke too many tackles and was the reason they won IMO.
Thought we tried hard but when Charile Curnow went down we were lacking forward marking targets and couldnt keep the pressure
on the Swans who didnt impress me other than their usual star players...
Their defense looks rubbery pity we we didnt have enough equipment down forward to expose them....
Gibbs was great especially in the 1st half, Cripps consistent and I thought both Kruezer and Philips held sway in the ruck early but after half time
the ruck duels evened up and we lost some edge in that area...
The Swans missed McVeigh!
Great game from Kreuzer today. Naismith and Sinclair were well ahead in hitouts won in the first half but Kreuzer closed the gap in the second. We all know about his second efforts and clearances but he takes it to another level when he holds his marks and hits the scoreboard. Phillips wasn't as good as he has been but he's a long term prospect. The Swans' mids picked up their workrate and dominated the clearances in the third despite their rucks only breaking even. Our mids worked their way back in front late in the third and were level pegging in the last.
