The ball bounces and ...
Good grab Casboult!
Hey we are in front in the first quarter????
Good to see us hunting in packs , certainly different to our recent opening quarters

We are looking hungry. If we can keep this up for 4 quarters, we are a good chance.
Getting inside 50s but not converting. Swans are hurting us when they go forward. Dow in the rooms concussion test
gone to sleep. ball watching now....
McKay is paid to kick goals. Not good enough.
Lang's been good today. ;)
Umpires overlooking a lot of holding on Cripps today

Lang gets an assist Fly ha ha

And a goal
Teague (or whoever) simply has to stop the promising attacks which come undone with dinky little kicks to no one in particular which result in turnovers.
Been killing us for years. Unacceptable. Make the players watch the video and fine them HEAVILY each time it occurs.

they just need to stop for 5 seconds a have a bit of a look before they revert to that stoopid cute option which inevitably results in a turnover....
Goddard in the rooms - elbow to the head ?
Hopefully back in the second half.
I would have thought the Swans would be pumped (even just a little) at the fact that Horse re-signed.
Ridiculous ground on which to have 36 blokes playing footy.
Looked like Dow and Goddard went to the rooms. Any news?
Feeling reasonably positive at that start. Now to go on with it ????????
Gee we are terrible when we haven't got the ball.....
Everyone stops and watches. That's it!

Elbow to the head... knee to the neck with force to cause a fracture....broken nose....
No problem.
That seems to be the theme for our boys atm ????
Hope the boys put in hard next half and celebrate Zac attack's 50th in style.
Go Blues
I fear this may be the ‘other’ type of loss where we’re in front all match only to be headed in the last minute or two.
Love the tiggy touchwood decisions going their way ::) and the stupid 3rd man up rule. Just get rid of it ffs.

Apologies for the double take
Interesting first half. Very winnable for us. Need to create cleaner forward entry & convert. swans easy misses have us in a better position .
Am I missing a new rule? The one in which CFC defenders get massacred in marking contests with impunity?
I wouldn't she'd any tears for if the likes of Casboult put his knee ( with 105 kg behind it) into someone's kidneys or other vulnerable body part.

A few quiet players so far...
Goddard done. Gone for scans
Fox reporting Goddard of for scans , done for the day
Poor Goddard, I just watched the vid of him telling his dad he was playing his first game :'(
Does McKay have ANY routine to his goal kicking?? Not enough urgency.
Anyone counting, how many posters in the game?
Goddard done. Gone for scans
Yep, cheekbone apparently. Damn. Didn't even complete his first game.

Yes tough start, hope we can pull it out for him
Sam Walsh, lower your eyes son....
Swans getting every soft hold possible.
Whistle put away for Cripps still
Plowman having a good game IMO.
Why do umpires hate us
Would be nice to get some free stuff like our opponents do sometimes.
Sorry, can't see us winning this.... Running out of soldiers and playing 21. Losing Goddard has killed our structure, when we were already short in defence.

Tall defenders isn’t the problem - we need to use the ball better, run harder and take some risks by working through the middle instead of being so predictable moving the ball down the far side boundary every time
Anyone's game. As said, we start using the ball better, we should win....
better 7 ahead than 30 behind!!
Tough when the soft frees all go one way.
The Swans get so many soft free forward of centre, not that many by number but where they get them is just rubbish because it's not reciprocated at the other end!
Why do umpires hate us
Roos going on about rampke body position - translation = tunnelling, blocking off the ball and holding
Not to mention being allowed to drop it when tackled
Tough when the soft frees all go one way!
We’re not even getting the clear frees!
We’re not even getting the clear frees!
Jack thrown out of that last contest in the 3rd q - swans defenders just know they can get away with it
Nice goal Levi.
Kieren Jack was the perfect in for this kind of scraggy game.
Hey umpires, you can pay holding.... sorry my bad, if they did that we'd run away with this.
Cracker of a goal Levi
Go Blues
better 7 ahead than 30 behind!!
You wouldn't know it reading some comments
19 points up now. Taking everything into account, a handy margin in the last.
Cracker of a goal Jack
Certainly won't be scoring 100 points today.
I know took a whack today and I trust he's A ok but he's a major. major liability right now.
Next goal wins
Are the umpires trying to hand it to Sydney ????
Umpires are trying to make sure it's the Swans, not paying any Carlton frees, paying imaginary Swans frees.
Alir Alir wraps his arms around Kreuzer in the ruck at our CHF and the umpire calls play on, Alir Alir wraps his arms around Kreuzer at our CHF and umpire pays Alir Alir a free kick! A handball misses Cripps at a stoppage and the umpire calls deliberate.

They have stepped it up in the last 5 minutes.
Lang in midfield. Older bodies there.
We're in trouble.
Is it my imagination or has the umpiring suddenly become very pro sydney? Wtf???
I’ve noticed their players complain after every stoppage tho similar to Geelong players that just continue to whinge and suddenly they’ve gotten 5 frees in a row, mostly dubious!
Dow mistake cost the turnover.
Now then!
Tough on Levi, should have been a free surely????

Surely not, he doesn’t play for Sydney

Oops sorry forgot about that
damn
A lot of love from Roos today.
Awesome hung on
A lot of love from Roos today.
Roos & Teague double I am thinking?
Teagueeeey!!!!!!
Horse out coached by the pretty boy !
Yes!
Ah listening to Roos barracking sydney on, no thanks - Teague doesn’t need him!
That's one damn fine win
Ha! We really showed those umpires. They tried hard but we just stuck in there.
Seriously, good win for the lads and Teague
OMG. If we had played better against Melbourne and won that too we would have Teague in a really great place. Even better if we had hung on against the Dogs. Coach of the year.

the umps tried hard to get the Swans up, very much agreed.
Damn good win.
Nic Newmans best game for us too.
Move to the post game thread guys.
