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.

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).

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?

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

Zac Jones plays exactly like Dean Terlich.

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.

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".

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
