6 - Bennell 5 - Tapscott 4 - Moloney 3 - Trengove 2 - Martin 1 - Sylvia

There must be a reasonable chance that Frawley might be fast tracked in - I think they would like to have him available considering our backs will have to deal with two big power forwards. Also, Jones seemed to suffer some sort of shoulder injury, so even if it's not too serious, they may be tempted to give him a week off.

One thing to come out of today that no-one seems to have picked up on and that probably makes the resulting draw a fair result... neither team had won a first round match since 2005 (I think it was) - and one thing that has me a bit unsettled... the lack of doom and gloom posts we usually get after the first round.

Yep, 3.6 to 1.4 for the quarter is what killed us... too many missed opportunities from set shots - those 4 Swans points were mostly rushed in the final minutes.

Yep, no doubt the kid can play and he has certainly proven he is no one-trick pony. Booming kick, accurate delivery, reads the play exceptionally well, strong mark, fearless and hard as nails! At least Roost It should now have the opportunity to reassess now that he has actually seen the kid play.

This is a case of stats not telling the whole story. What Bennell did with the ball when he had it, set us up for many good possessions. Moloney has high stats, but really he only provided a lot of value in the last quarter... he and Davey went missing for much of the first half of the game. Anyway, that was just my observation and of course I don't expect everyone to see it the way I did.

Can't argue with that.. and I would think Bennell came close to best on ground; he had a great game.

Proud of the boys for the way they fought back!! Shame about the result, but better than a loss at this point in the season.
