  1. Amazing last quarter. Turnovers disappeared and we simply bludgeoned the ball forward. When you would expect JVR and Jeffo to cash in it was everyone else. As a useful development game... 6.5/10. Would have got closer to 8 but for the never ending turnovers in the first three quarters. Unfortunately Tholstrup was middling but I'll keep an eye on Culley over the next few weeks. Might drop into Vic Park for next week's game.
  2. You can see our soccer skills coming to the fore as Tholstrup soccers a goal
  3. Culley is worth a watch given the Viney/Laurie issues. Casey scoring at ease
  4. Yze Strong ground play for a goal
  5. Great transition for a behind
  6. Blunt force giving the result but could do better
  7. Tholstrup having a solid quarter
  8. A solid game
  9. Great goal by Jeffo on the siren. System wise ... atrocious
  10. Great mark by JVR who kicks out of bounds
  11. wow strong marks by Yze and Jeffo Jeffo goals Impressive but no system yet
  12. Three missed tackles (unacceptable) and Swans goal
  13. Disposal is horrible
  14. Agree it's an audio issue with the ground set up. Nice to know that there's a mark before a player kicks the ball
  15. Yes we are but at VFL level the packs are often more crowded making it harder to break lines. Some of the players eg Tholstrup might be better trying to break a line and then handball rather than handballing at first instance. Also we kick laterally instead of at 45 degrees allowing opposition to flood back. All that aside it's promising
  16. The Sun is beginning to shine through the purple haze.
  17. Swans are flooding back which is making it particularly difficult to achieve any rebound plus Swans are entering on our countless turnovers which makes defending a nightmare
  18. Well the system certainly broke down that quarter. Handball chains that couldn't break free or went backwards allowing ample time for Swans to go forward. Kicks via the boundary line with up and under kicks into the forward line
  19. Casey going backwards with terrible handball leading to another turnover and goal
  20. Yet another turnover leads to a Swans goal
  21. Casey still on top. Very good play by Jeffo. I would like to see some of those handballs connect
  22. Bad miss by Tholstrup after a little bit of flair
  23. Nice looking ground. Is this Sydney's training facility?
  24. Another turnover leads to a Swans goal. Strong quarter by the Dees. Given our earlier drawn match percentage isn't a big issue but winning each quarter and finishing strongly should be the goal. Tholstrup has flashed in and out but not really setting the ground alight. Does he have the X factor? I'm not sure
  25. Magnificent reply by Ricky Mentha
