Just finished watching the game again. IMHO in was only skill errors that cost us, no more complicated than that. Critical skill errors at that, and from people who should know better... a few howlers from Simmo and Kerridge who were both, otherwise, very good. Attitude, intensity, game plan... all good. We certainly didn't embarrass ourselves which many 'experts' predicted.

Probably O'Shea's best game for us thus far.

Cuningham is just about confirmed as Kane Lucas Mk III. What a waste of sublime talent.

SOJ imposed himself on the contest though tired somewhat in the second half... he'll only improve further as he builds his tank and strength.

O'Brien needs time in the twos.

If we continue and build upon that approach and intensity, and with some experienced blokes back, I reckon we'll win a few in the back half of the season... and how you finish a season is really important.

Sinclair and Rowe both fined.

Franklin twice handed out high forearm fend-offs, as well as one blatant high tackle that wasn't penalised! Yet escapes scrutiny!

I’m surprised that you didn’t mention Daisy Baggers.  His third quarter was perhaps the worst football I’ve seen from an established player and virtually handed the game to the Swans. 

Some of our other players had moments that they’d rather forget but none of them came close to Daisy’s profligate efforts.

We should appeal Rowe’s fine and show the footage of Menegola sinking the slipper into Rowe’s head as the basis of the appeal.

Much was made of Daisy's defensive role in the game. Was this more so than in previous games? If so maybe it was a case of him getting to grips with a different role. He was pretty bad though.

I don't think he was a bad as people make out, they are influenced by the commentary during the game and come to permanent conclusions. Other than a couple of obvious mistakes he played a pretty good game, far better than O'Shea who also sold several team-mates into trouble, yet O'Shea gets praised by some!

I thought Daisy was pretty good, apart from his error-ridden third quarter.  O’Shea was no worse the Simpson, Jones and others in turning the ball over and giving teammates no chance of equalising contests.

I’m sure that Daisy will be determined to make up for that quarter.

Well I'd certainly like to see Daisy get fully back to his previously good form and perform well in his defensive role (or whatever role he gets for that matter). He is a terrier so I think he will and he's important for us this year.

Daisy is a stop gap in defence whist Marchbank, Byrne, Doc and Willo are unavailable. Much prefer him as a high half forward.

One of them corrected me, told me it cannot be true because the earth is only 6500 years old and flat, what more could I say, God Bless Help America!
