Soon some is going to rip his daks off him in a tackle.

Twice giving up strong leads suggest so.

How many goal have we given away with free kicks in the last two rounds? I count 9. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Their key forwards McDonald and Reid 6.2 from 32 touches. Brown and Brown 0.1 from 12 touches. Big fail from our tall forwards.

Because we are still on top of the ladder, I won’t just panic yet….just.

Petracca and Oliver well down. All disposals mainly junk.

Still contracted till end of 23 I believe. Only worth as unwanted steak knives ATM. Still if Tmac is out for a long time he might have an opportunity for a Lazarus of Bethany revival.

Same as last night. There was a lot of throwing from both sides.

Tanking for sure. They want the No 1 draft pick and No 1 pre season draft pick to land an un contracted big fish as a back up if they can’t do a trade. We should be nervous.

Smith should get a suspension but Toohey should get grief also for applying the first headbutt.

I have said that about Buddy several times. The Swans play through him too much and their other budding forwards don’t get the opportunities they should. If Buddy plays and he doesn’t get the ball they struggle. I would be very wary this round.

Win win, Cotchin gets slapped and Buddy gets a week.

I thought our first half was excellent. But Gawn, Oliver, Petracca and Viney left their mojo in the change rooms at half time. Big fail in the midfield.

What’s with Petracca, did someone slip kryptonite into his muesli?

At least we do didn’t concede a 100 points.

Dr D or watsaname licking his lips.

Tigers were robbed!!!!

Commentators already angling to get him off. Saying it was an open hand. Looked like a fist to me. They have too much influence on the tribunal and MRP. Seems to be a pattern.

Swans kick the ball to Buddy more than an any other of their forwards even when they shouldn’t and there are better options.

Matt Taberner reported to be in doubt for Freo. Could not finish training today and has to pass fitness test tomorrow morning. Huge out for them if so and hard to replace.

Frustrating thing with Tmac is he has been getting injured when just hitting good form and it takes him ages to get it back once he returns from injury.

Delete.

Three things are certain in life: death, taxes and confusing Tribunal and MRP decisions.

That hard tackle on Langdon when he was vulnerable and in no position to absorb its force did not have the potential to cause injury?

If Ginnivan showed signs of injury, pain, discomfort or irritation because of the tackle then fair enough a suspension for Switkowski. What he did deserved a fine maybe for the bad optics.
