I won't be at all surprised if we have lost him for the season.

If that is the case why did they allow him to come back on the ground to potentially risk further injury? Where is the duty of care to the player here?

I thought our midfielders allowed themselves to be dominated by Bolton and Mitchell who basically ran around all day collecting possessions for fun with very little opposition. When Swans actually lifted their intensity in the 3rd quarter they demonstrated what they can do and clearly had Claremont rattled in that period. The Swans players obviously had nothing left in the tank at 3 quarter time.

A typical Swans performance at Claremont...with everything on the line at 3 qtr time we go missing!

That grounds really tricky with those apartments surrouñding the ground.Richardson kicks them at training he showed us that today.Watched the game at Ch7 telecast.Swans looked to be getting on top in the 3 rd qtr.But looked to over handpass the footy through the midfield.Numerous klangers coffing up possession.With all players running fwd.Claremont Oval is Swans horror ground now official.After we beat the Ferals at Medibank a few weeks back.

Very nice stand, no atmosphere with all those apartments though. No outer to speak of....... Hope Bassendean doesnt get turned into something like this.

Yes Mike good point.Need to learn from what they have done there.It just looks to closed in now and doubt they could hold 5000 fans there. The Wafl can get those crowds on long weekends and finals.Swns could only fit 2 apartment blocks one behind the Old Perth Rd gate.And one down the bank where TOGS toilets where.Behind the Black Swan Bar.

If you bogans want to increase ground attendances then just add a Centrelink and TAB in the SD members bar and it'll be standing room only.

Good comeback victories for the reserves and colts which proved that Swans teams can win at Claremont! Clutterbuck and Maguire would have to be pushing for an league opportunity next game given their performances today. Yukich would also probably come into the frame as an extra tall if Blakely's injury is serious.
