Our Italian physio friend you mean freeze!

will be a tough game -
Geaps on 1 leg last week
Simpson medalist in reserves as the coach thinks he is too loose in the backline, maybe he could play him in the forward line like the state coach did
Perth get a 4 goal start from Harding as he does that to the oppo every week as our game plan doesnt involve kicking goals in the 1st qtr

Hey anyone within the club knows where Luke Pratt is at?

Listened to it Mikeh: with respect to Twomey on face value there does not appear to be a major schism between the two, I expect him to play league this Saturday.

Harding thought better of the league's performance than I did.

Obviously Harding is in a parallel universe. No Swans fan I have spoken to was happy with last weeks performance

That's a bit tough on him SD. From what I have seen this year and last, his effort is pretty good and he would be playing to instruction as to how much game time he has/how much he pushes himself. He certainly wasn't the worst last Saturday

our players are also in a parallel universe where glory is attained when you win the possesion count..
Perth can take out deckchairs on saturday and wait till we kick the ball to them at some stage of the 1st qtr and then they can score at their own pace as we have no defensive plan.
and if they kick a point they can sit down again and wait for the 2-3 goals we give up each week from kicking directly to an opponent from a kick in for an easy goal..

Thats been our game plan over the years and thankfully (thus far) it has changed dramatically this year!
We used to be the "turnover kings".

Yeah funny that I was having a chat to my mate Swandog today and saying how Swans seem to be playing with our game plan from last year. Will all know how that turned out. For perth's sake I hope you continue that this week and continue an attacking brand with a few quality forwards we have now.
