How good are GWS to watch at the moment? Fast, brutal, and most importantly, accurate footy

I wish we still had Jesse but we probably don't win in 2021 without Steven May in defence. Sliding doors.

You'd imagine Hibberd would be sub. Would be bizarre to completely drop him after his superb shut down job on Jamie Elliot last week.

With McKay out, would it be worth rolling the dice by bringing in Tomlinson and throwing May forward? Would certainly provide a better forward contest than Schache or Grundy. We're running out of options.

6. Gawn 5. Petracca 4. Bowey 3. ANB 2. Oliver 1. Viney

This feels too real now. I barely slept at all last night. Here's some great pump-up material I found on YouTube at 2:30 this morning.

6. Petracca 5. Fritsch 4. Viney 3. ANB 2. Brayshaw 1. May

You can't understate how impressive that win is. Swans were playing for a home final and had the emotional motivation of Buddy's farewell behind them. They were all over us in that third quarter and we slowly worked our way back into the match. Full credit to our leaders in Petracca, Gawn and Viney who kickstarted the fightback. Gotta mention Laurie as well. Had some important touches when he came on for Melk.

We looked much better in that last 5 minutes. Laurie having an immediate impact.

Love Chandler but he's having an absolute shocker.

Port running away with this now. Fourth spot and a match up against Collingwood in week 1 of finals looks all but confirmed. EDIT: Dusty goal brings the margin back to two goals...

Gee, Tex is so good to watch when he's on. 9.4 tonight takes him to 76 goals for the season. Sam Taylor has a big job on Curnow tomorrow.

At the MCG today to show some visiting international friends our great game but most importantly, the joy of death riding. Go Hawks!

In: Fritsch Out: Schache Laurie sub. Thought he showed some good signs today. Smith stays forward with Tomlinson playing in defence. Undecided on whether TMac gets a run or not.

6. Lever 5. Rivers 4. Melksham 3. Brayshaw 2. Sparrow 1. ANB

Brayshaw starting forward. Interesting.

Looking forward to seeing Laurie get a full game. Been very consistent in the VFL over the last couple months. I like the Schache sub choice. Gives us some added flexibility forward.

Great flashback to game number 1. Think this was Jeremy Howe's first game to from memory. Dennis Cometti at 2:13 😄 "Oooookay..."

One last roll of the dice for 'Gawndy'?

He looks like someone who hasn't played a game of football for three months. In all seriousness, he's competed ok in the air and ruck. Our inside 50's haven't helped.

Can he play as a key forward?

Beautiful coast to coast play. Mark and goal to 'Starship' Jefferson.

We have forward depth, but it's not Goody's fault that we've been decimated with injury issues in that part of the ground. TMac, Fritsch, Brown and Petty have all spent time on the sidelines this season. JVR and Jefferson are still raw but have promising futures.

Adams has been impressive
