That was an amazing leap by Noble ,would have been mark of the year if he had been able to hang on to it.

Liked Italiano's and Daniel's game yesterday - both tough nuts. The pressure was fantastic, and I liked the way that Hampson applied the information in the chapter in G. Neesham's book titled 'The A-Z of pissing-off the opposition'. He had a few wet-toasters chasing him more than the football yesterday.

Not disagreeing with what you said SH. Hampson has a talent in annoying opposition players (and obviously some coaches as well) . He is a very good player to boot, so given all that why did he end up getting reported? I didnt see the incident, just saw Brody Grey on the ground so I don't know whether he will get a reprimand or a week. Just seemed unnecessary with Swans in control of the game and the Eagle players being overly focused on him as you said.
The challenge for the players now is to take the pressure and desire they showed yesterday to Lathlain next week and hit Perth hard from the start of the game.

Up until the incident I do not think they were taking much notice of him - but they certainly did after that point. But as you say, he could, however, have timed it better because it stopped momentum.
