Thought we played with reasonable intensity for the first three quarters. Lots of good moments from our young brigade. Still can't believe that we went into the match unchanged given the conditions and 6 day turnaround. Swans were simply faster, harder and cleaner than us all day. We really need to learn how to play smarter wet weather football.

Just started a light drizzle in Chatswood

Going to the game today and looking forward to seeing a competitive effort. Dee's by 13 in a close one

3 changes given 6 day turn around and forecasted wet conditions. Matt Jones for Stretch Mitchie for Oscar McDonald Harmes/Grimes for Oliver Effectively replacing kids for some more seasoned footballers.

Watts with another!!!

Kent with the reply. Back to 31 points

Woo Hooo Jones kicks the first for the quarter

He is an animal. Can't wait to see how he develops in the next couple of years. Scary

Watts Hogan Stretch Petracca Jones Harmes

Great Mark and Goal from Watts 66 to 22

Really happy with this signing as he provides a point of difference. Looking for Hunt to continue taking the game on and providing some run & carry from half back.

Viney -Really hope is ok to play next week as he is critical to our team Gawn - fantastic contribution and some amazing taps to advantage Oliver - just seems to make it look so easy and I love his 1%ers Hunt - getting better every game and had some really high impact moments Bugg - A good all round game Petracca - done good goal assists in the first half and showed his potential in he 2nd

Loving this quarter. Vince with a goal

Now Harmes with a goal 80 to 51

Jones with a ripper off another Gawn tap

Viney with 2 in 2 mins.

Kent puts us in front

Gawn! Back to a point

Lynch with 4 is killing us

Suns back in front after a shocking turnover

Gawn with a poster. Dominating yet not getting scoreboard pressure

Sexton hurt and Oliver with a massive hit on Pestia.

Stretch paid the free for holding the ball and puts us in front !

In my opinion Hurley > McDonald and I would be comfortable trading McDonald to get back into the first round if we could pick up Hurley as a free agent. Oscar can be developed into the 2nd rebounded tall who has similar athletic traits. Clearly both TMAC and Hurley would be the best solution however I kind of like getting back into the first round in what is touted as a strong draft.

Looking forward to seeing Petracca debut. Still think Oliver and Matt Jones will also come in as we will need fresh runners. Not sure who goes out.
