Saints have done well to snag a goal just before half time. I so wish we could have done the same.

Good response from the saints. It was looking like it was going to be a rout so fair play to them for getting back into this game

Nearly messed it up with another silly advantage call.

Umpires getting involved, haven't seen all the replays to confirm those Free Kicks were legit.

Usually they say on AFL site subbed out with injury if concussed. 

Doesn't say anything. But he was clearly unbalanced and his feet were buckling as he went off.

Would have to be concussed you would think, but it's Carlton.

He looked genuinely out of it when the team was singing the song in the rooms too.

We definitely need a couple of elite kicks in our list, they can make the difference by getting goals from almost impossible angles and distances.

Giants make our skill level look very ordinary.

Hogan and Bedford would be handy right about now for us.

How didn't the footy department see that Bedford was the more superior small forward than Chandler?

We did not want him to go. He asked to be traded. Was out of our hands.

GWS are quick, they’d expose us badly on the outside. I reckon they’d smash us.

We wont meet them unless they get to the Grand final.

Because there wasn't many opportunities presented to him last year.

We offered him a three year contract.

Popped into the footy. It's nice just being a neutral observer. 

Also the difference to our game. Both forward lines have open space 

Bedford is better than Chandler.

And Toby just nutts another one.

Toby Bedford (snags another) looks like the kinda goal sneak we could use.

Bedford ugh.  Still can't believe we let him go and went with Laurie. 

No offence to to the young fella but they are chalk and cheese in terms of speed & finish.

Even slightly ahead of Chandler imv and will probably jump ahead in coming years.

GWS will be a difficult opponent for port or lions. And they don’t seem to mind playing at away grounds. Tough on the inside, great spread, solid defensively and some real method going inside f50. They’re a well coached team and can’t be taken for granted

Every thread ends up as Team X would beat us. Without fail.

What is it with all the Bedford revisionism in this thread. He did not show this kind of form when playing for us. And he had chances to do so.

You know who wouldn’t beat us? West Coast

Love your work WCW but I'm sorry to inform you the quality of the crepe paper used in each team's banner does not portent the future.

Love your work too, Chook. Firstly, the Swans - like most other clubs - use plastic and not crepe paper; secondly, the problem wasn’t the construction of the backing, it was that the sleeve (the cylindrical vinyl attachment through which the pole is inserted) had split in two; thirdly, and most importantly, I wasn’t being serious anyways. 😁

just, just STFU

can’t remember many people complaining when we let him go
