Did you watch him? He was shocking - today. Doesn't mean he's better / worse than T Mac but that he was really poor. Today.

T Mac is not that far off where Rance is; both make mistakes. I think Rance is incredibly overrated. I'd probably rank him ahead of T Mac, but not by that much.

Damn, you do know that if Adelaide kicked one more goal, we would have slipped back into the top four!!!

hawks loss to power was interesting - their key mob in mitchell, o'meara, smith roughead et al got enough of it, but port were cleaner with the ball and if vickery is their second key forward / ruck they'll soon discover how limited a footballer he is, like richmond before them.

bombers look seriously quick with ball movement and foot speed.

Swans have managed to get through a half of footy without letting St Kilda's tall forwards kick a single goal.

Partiularly interesting as Sydney don't have a large contingent of tall defenders.

I'm sure Goodwin is watching closely and taking notes.

they play the zone defence that we try to play superbly.

their mids are also slaughtering the saints - steven, billings, and dunstan completely cut out of it.

mccartin has been hit from pillar to post; he leads with his head every time.

Well, here you have it. Another big preseason and not one team undefeated. Those last 10 minutes on Thursday night were the difference between first and fifth places.

Hogan should have a day out if Carlisle is playing on him.  Their next best defender is Brown.  If we get the ball up forward then like Buddy tonight it will be easy pickings.

Just have to stop Stevens.  No-one tagging him tonight. 

Hickey is the one to worry about, 16 contested possessions as a ruck.  Max will have his work cut out.

swans have taken the foot off the pedal big time?

this is the big issue with the jlt; it's really 'just like training'.

saints do run really hard.

Have you seen who is lining up against the saints. I would say at least 6-7 players who won't be there round 1. Saints playing a full list minus Monty. 

Cameron, heyword, fox, foot, melican. Hewett, smith, marsh,florent

We'll lose round 1 by about 35 I reckon. 

Saints more consistent, better runners, taller and stronger book-ends and will make us pay. 

Swans played an undermanned side however if the saints bring the same pressure as they did in the second half then we are going to struggle.

the is no room for errors at etihad and saints tackle in packs, causing pressure on our disposal and turnovers.

our skills aren't good enough yet to stop these turnovers. Saints however are also not at top level for disposal.

if we can out match their intensity then we are every chance of winning. 

Any less then our best won't get us over the line

    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.
