Possibly the worst first half of footy I've seen for a while, yes it was a bit slippery but little or no breeze and no sun, both teams could not hit the side of a barn, first qtr a combined 11 scoring shots for 1 goal!! by halftime it was 23 scoring shots for 7 goals though Swans had their best qtr with 4.2 to 2.4.

Lots of fumbled ball and dropped marks but a shining light in Delahunty who had a day out, Simpson & Riggio were gathering lots of possessions as were Robbo, Horse and Bogensperger, Kitch was being well held with just 4 in the first half.

Obviously Schoey read the riot act at halftime and they came out with much more urgency, Twomey was moved up forward and worked hard to create chances, the tackling intensity went up several notches, it needed to as Swans had smashed us in that department in the first half, that pressure created lots of turnovers resulting in a much better 6.7 to 3.2 qtr, we kicked the first 6 goals of the qtr but Swans stuck at it and when we relaxed a bit they got 3 quick ones. Notte going back to CHB was a good move and that was the main driver along with Cary going into the ruck for their fightback. Clang chimed in with 2 quality snap goals and Kitch stated to break the shackes a bit but was not as dominant as previous games with just 12 disposals for the game.

The last qtr was another good one for us but again the goal kicking was atrocious with 3.6 to Swans single goal.

Dela and Clang were the dominant big men around the ground, their big fella Yukich did well at the stoppages with 22 hitouts but did little elsewhere, just a youngster though and looks to have a good future. Shep kicked 2.2 but was just shaded by Ames who continues to be the backbone of the swans side, they would be totally stuffed without him. Horse, Phez, Robbo, Dela & Boges all has 20+ possessions so a good input generally from the mids unit.

While it was an ordinary effort by the lads and only 2 good qtrs, the mids & forwards were still able to produce 35 scoring opportunities while keeping Swans to just 16, while Swans effort cant be questioned the final scoreline did flatter them. If we had converted at the same % as Swans (just 50%) the margin would have been doubled. but bad kicking is bad footy.

Good to see Broughts suit up, he desperately needed a run, looked a bit rusty but did attack the contests all day, Boges was very good, runs hard has some pace and his disposal was very sharp on most occasions, should hold his spot depending on match ups.

Many of the stats were quite close. we had 8 more disposals, they had 9 more tackles, 10 more hitouts but 42 more marks whil!! the really confusing stat was the frees with Swans 22 to us 13. Now I have no problems with most of Swans frees they got, its just patently obvious that the umps, and not just in this game, appear to just let a number of quite obvious frees go and call play on, that is the only explanation for the significant negative discrepancy in frees that we are subject too. Anyway just my thoughts on the issue.

There is no question that Subi are a very strong outfit but for all to state that it's all done and dusted is a bit premature given Souths stellar start to the season, they are also undefeated and sit clearly on top of the ladder with a massive percentage, we face them after the bye down on their paddock, should be a great game, hopefully a fine day so we can see two quality sides display their skills, and the winner rightly claiming to be flag favorites.

Great summation SS. I think Subiaco were a little in cruise control mode for most of the day but switched on when they needed to. I agree with your comment about the season being very open and competitive and there are at least 4 teams who could challenge for the flag this year. I thought Subiacos inaccuracy could be put down in part to the pressure the Swans defence was putting on the ball carrier. Apart from the first 15 minutes of the 3rd quarter I thought Swans tackling pressure was very good.

Who was tagging Kitch? Did a great job considering the form he has had the past few weeks

Mikeh, Agree Swans pressure was very good especially in the first half, but like your boys so many missed shots were from set shots or running clear with little pressure. In the second half when your pressure dropped off we still had trouble hitting the barn door!! Just one of those days I think.

jeez you seagulls are starting to worry me...double the scoring shots and flogged 'em by 39 points and the way you guys tell it the bogans were a good thing beaten. OSG...have you been given the word from the new owner to clean up your act as you're starting to some across like the Julie Andrews of Oz Footy?

Well its actually easier to comment when you attend the game rather than hide at home because you are too scared to drive to Bassendean!
Beneath the Southern cross i stand, on Bassendean Oval, can in hand, Swan Districts, you Farkin Beauty!

Great effort by the young bloke, Kitchen has been in red hot form but definitely lowered his colours yesterday

Mikeh interesting comment vis a vis "season being very open" as I see it this season it will be Subiaco followed by a very, very long stretch of daylight to the rest. Subiaco will go through the complete season with very few, IF ANY, losses.

The sad thing is next year it will be Subiaco, "East Perth" and "Peel" making up three of the final 5 positions and this will continue year in year out.

I disagree 42, South are the benchmark at the moment, just look at their percentage. I'm not confident going up against them in round 7 especially with us cold coming off a bye. Expecting a very slow start with Souths blowing us away early.
