Whilst Buddy has done well, I wouldn't mind seeing him out for a week, just to see how our old structures go. Plus it would flower up the opposition defenders' planning :P

Would have been good to give Tippett a game if Buddy misses next week. Maybe Reid will come in for Buddy.

Careers have to end at some point.

Nice to get another win, although not a whole lot to take away from the game.

I think Franklin will be fine, he was doing really well in the 1st quarter and got 0 delivery afterwards and got injured as soon as the swans kicked back into gear.

Goodsey looked good  8) better than Judd at least  ;D no doubt he'll be a starter next week up in Brisbane
Dont know about any one else but my heart was in my mouth when Goodes came on and got the ball straight away and went for a 50m+ goal. Was hoping he wouldnt do a Judd.

He has still got it the old boy but clearly didnt go at the ball 100%. Expect him to be a red or green vest again next week.

Great to see Lloyd keep his spot and play a full game as well.

What is it with teams having a go at LRT. 2 weeks in a row. Show no mercy LRT!!!!

Yeah that Melbourne defender seemed like a bit of a flog :P

Get amongst it LRT! hahah

are we back baby?!?!  :o   ;)

looks like Hanners is the barometer??
have been waiting a couple of years for him to become the consistent star he has the potential to be ...

we overpaid, but I say again, I rather overpay for Buddy than overpay for Daisy.  :P   ;)

Your midfield is certainly up and going now. And as much of a gun that TMitchell is I think you are more experienced and balanced through the middle without him in there.

Its all contested disposal coming out of the middle.

People scream about Buddy this and that but really we're usually 4th most contested in the comp but this year we're at 15th
Think you've nailed it here mate. As much as I can say being an outsider looking in anyway. Of the Sydney games I've seen you have been smashed through the midfield. Maybe Pyke isn't as good of a ruckman as people thought? Or the kids in there are given too much responsibility for their lack of experience? Not being a Sydney man I have no idea tbh. Just seems so unlike a Sydney team

ROK had 35 disposals on the weekend whilst Titch only got 20. Not too sure any changes are made for this weekend

Yeah Parker, JPK and Hannebery have been racking up the contested disposals and has made a world of difference.

Still some improvements for us needed. Obviously getting Pyke back is important and I think a little bit better disposal efficiency when kicking inside 50.

The Hawks only got close because they were able pinpoint their targets at least 80% and if we can get that right I think we can easily beat the best

And we couldn't kick straight.

Buddy was a force on Friday though. Looked the best I've seen him this year. Two crucial goals.

I'm hoping kicking straight comes with the better forward delivery :P

Stop buddy thinking about it lance and kick the buddy pill threw the big ones.

The monkey is off his back now, look away dons supporters.

No Rok again, Rooster on the Emergencies with Tower and LRT. BJack in for McGlynn who is ill. My guess is that he is still feeling the affects of the Roughie hit

Ricochet

This is why people are frustrated with the MRP. Guy that gets hit misses a week, guy that wacks him only gets one as well

Well Collingwood losing is certainly good, as it keeps Swans in the top 4.

Looks likely that Hawks will lose to Port and Geelong is even money vs Fremantle so if the boys can put up a win tomorrow we'll be in the hunt for top 2

Bring it home guys
