It was always going to be a grinder and the Swans did have patches of offensive brilliance but we saw off their challenge and played some of the best footy we've played since that night in September 2021. Let's start with the new guy Jacob Van Rooyen, couldn't have wished for a better start. I said to my mate that I didn't need him to have a barnstorming start, he just needed to compete and be physical, well he did that and then some. That bunp he laid in the opening minutes showed everyone he wasnt going to be a shrinking violet. Seeing that no.2 running around again was great and seeing a pack crasher reminiscent of a former no.5 has got me excited! Surely a Rising star nomination coming his way. Clayton Oliver, 150 up. I've never seen a better first 150 games for this club and today wasn't even really a typical clarry game. 2 beautifully taken goals and every touch just oozing of metres gained. You are a superstar, umpires do your job and give him the 3 votes and one day the Brownlow he deserves. Brodie Grundy, the opportunity was there, he grabbed it with both hands and then threw it in Ladhams' face and yelled "Catch". His taps cam still be a bit ineffectual at times bit I just thought this was a real taste of what is to come from Brodie. While a unicorn struts his stuff in the West I'm sitting pretty comfortably on this one for the moment. Long season to go though. Trac had a game that could have snatched BOG but he was a butcher merchant. Still won plenty of contested ball and had very important clearances when the game mattered. Thought Trent Rivers played a massive game and is starting to take some really good intercept marks when it was needed. Really should have drained that set shot but still a great game all round. Lachie Hunter, brilliant. Jake Lever, probably leading the B & F, Kade Chandler, that's why you're in the side! A few looks at goal and binned every one of them. Lingers was great and I was really happy with James Jordon today, I thought we needed him for this one and he didn't disappoint. Who goes out for Kozzie? No idea, that's tomorrow's problem. Did not expect to see Petty line up forward but its good to see Goody shaking it up. To make wholesale changes to the forward line might have unsettled other sides but not us! So Simon Goodwin needs a massive pat on the back. Longmire rarely gets out coached on gameday but this was a master-class performance. Loved Spargo's moments as well. Loved Judd McVee's game. What a find, Mr Composure. Best player in the no.41 since... It's still a bit hard to tell how exactly we turned the game when it looked like it was going to be another typical Sydney boghole game but we just had faith that if we kept working and winning that contested ball and turning the screw. The game eventually turned our way. I'm so proud, the Lions might have busted our hold on them but we just performed something big ourselves. Bring on the Eagles, bring on Easter, bring on a little time in the surf at Point Leo. Bring it on down as Noel Gallagher once wrote. GO DEES!

I wish First Crack was on right now.

Really hope someone took a photo of that mark.

There he is! What a great forward they have!

Taberner is so average

You gotta hand it to West Coast. Got 27 guys on the bench but still fighting
