Exactly. Frost went to cover Thomas and massively helped Nev out. Nev's reaction time to spot Simpson running past and get over to cover him, then out-body him and win the ball was outstanding. Great defensive team play that almost certainly saved the game for us.

Lucky you. My missus won't even sit in the same room as me while the demons are playing.

6. Jetta 5. McDonald 4. Oliver 3. Hibberd 2. ANB 1. Frost

Don't have time at the moment to see if everyone has been loving Neville Jetta or not but if I was female I would have his babies. Even if didn't touch the ball until those two contests in the final quarter he's still best on. Wow. I'll check back tomorrow to sift through the Jetta love.

Kent gets a bit of a beating on here, so will I be run out of town if I say I don't mind him? I like his pace, goal sense, kicking and ability to create scoring opportunities by using his pace to get it over the back. If he could bring some intensity and (vastly) improve his defensive pressure I think he could be in the best 22. I'd like to see him get another go at it.

In the last quarter when Frost was running way from buddy out of defence and Bruce was going 'look at buddy run. Look at the old champ'. While he was getting burnt off. Unbelievable.

It looked like we were running through knee deep mud tonight. Knowing our luck Viney will be a lisfranc or a navicular. Enjoynthe 9 day break, recharge and come out and smash the blues.

Do we have to use one of our emergencies? If yes, who comes in if Hunt out? Johnstone??? Trenners?? Hopefully it's all academic anyway and Hunt plays and tears it up.

Maybe Weideman in? Makes the White selection make more sense.

Please God no!

Toby McLean on track to break the all time record.

I have a children's birthday party at my place tonight, so after a couple of hours in the company of 6 year old girls dancing to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, I'll be shepherding them out the door at 7 so I can scream at the TV in peace. I haven't been overly impressed by the swans and their recent victories, however fantastic they look on paper. Our injury concerns and run of short breaks should even things out and I am tipping dees by 10. Clayton Oliver to be huge and give a big middle finger to everyone who questioned his hardness this week. Go dees.

The vitriol directed at Oliver has been disgraceful, whether he staged or not. Comment after comment calling him a dog, a weak c##t, [censored] etc etc has completely shocked me. And anyone who defended him was also ripped into, called a dumb c##nt, moron, and every other name under the sun. I didn't grow up with Facebook so can someone tell me is this normal now? Goodness me I couldn't believe it. he is 19 years old for God's sake. The kid is having a second year better than anyone I can remember, including Fyfe and J Selwood. Aside from a few 'experts' having him in their early AA side, he hasn't been given anywhere near the recognition he deserves IMO. But as soon as people think he's staging, the keyboard warriors and armchair experts come out of the wood work to tear shreds off the poor kid, quite often in a very personal manner. He is currently 6th for total possessions, 1st for total handballs, 3rd for total contested possessions, 9th for total tackles, 8th for total clearances, 6th for total centre clearances FOR THE ENTIRE COMPETITION!! IN HIS SECOND YEAR!! Just because it's a Facebook comment and not said in person doesn't mean it isn't bullying and borderline harassment. Some of these people commenting need to have a good hard look at themselves and imagine if some of the things they are saying to him were said to their children, or mother, or father. Tall poppy syndrome if ever I've seen it. I just hope he is mentally strong enough to put this behind him, ignore the haters and continue playing outstanding football. He is one of our most important players, without him we would have certainly lost the Carlton and West Coast games just off the top of my head. Go dees!

Slightly off topic but does it feel strange to anyone else to be involved in the match of the round for the 4th week in a row? vs Collingwood vs Bulldogs vs Eagles and now vs Swans.

Completely agree with this, Remember the JLT game against these blokes? They looked like they were trialing a new handball happy game style. IF they try that against the same pressure we applied last week I think we will do the same to them as we did to the WB. However if we drop the pressure even slightly and they play more direct I suspect we will get our pants pulled down and the reptile Jack Darling will kick a bag. As you said, drop off the pressure stakes we lose, and lose easily. Gees it will be hot early, I can't wait for this game! Watts a big out but Pedo to play his role shouldn't be too bad, very interested who comes in for Jones. JKH and Stretch the most likely for mine. Go dees!
