Every shot of the hawks box is like a Dees reunion... Clarkson, Bruce, Neitz, Yze...

James Sicily has a punchable head. Possibly top 5.

Hawks getting most of the 50/50 decisions

I actually flicked it over to watch the last half of the nrl game between the 2 qld teams. Very exciting. But will now watch this final quarter as its now close. Swans will be furious if they lose another close one again. 

I reckon Hawks will win this game.

Another loss would be horrible for them but what other region of Australia can we give them to ease the pain?

Score review for a hit behind post or point for Hawks yet they don't do one for the 'point' not touched by Mitchell. Should have been Swans goal

Great goal by Buddy. Only he could do that with such ease

In scary good form, the kick earlier to Rohan's advantage was superb (after a strong contested ball win, too).

Zac Jones plays exactly like Dean Terlich.

Swans demonstrate how important a good half-back line is. Midfield lost it for them last week, and half backs holding back Hawks fight back this week.

They play a superb brand of defense-attack transition football. The Bulldogs are almost their protégé.

We need key backmen.

Not sure this post flows logically...?

Sydney's winning from half-back, so we need a FB/CHB?

Chips man Blitzes again...

Can't be long now for the Dawks to start getting the umpire love, right?

Sideney really move the ball well from the HB line. 

WTF was that deliberate - bloody disgrace.

Agree 100%. Like I say, Hawk forwards are covered. Fluck off this diamond shite

I still think he's a bloke we might be able to get on the cheap.  Hasn't done a great deal for the Swans so far, but he competes and is good defensively, so would still be worth a look if he became available.

Nice handball to a teammate under direct pressure Chip

afl really need to put the foot down about these short kicks less than 15m being paid as marks.

if the umpires can't judge 15m change it to 20m

Disagree. Swans played a good zone tonight.

Being a good backman isn't just about minding a man. It's about good defensive awareness, whether you're minding space or a player.

He fumbles too much under pressure and has poor awareness plus his kicking is poor. 

Take away the romance side of things i hope the club steers away from him.

Swans showed tonight that the zone works.

You need 100% commitment across the ground and players that run both ways. 

Good defensive awareness in the backline, middle and attack wins you flags. It's not just about "manning up".
