hey scum flog...learn to spell you piece of shit..although understandable given year 8 was the best and last 3 years of your schooling life. why don't you go through your normal Saturday night routine and give your wife a belting, sit outside in the mission brown pergola of your house in Gosnells, drink a carton of VB, go through a packet of smokes then put on the DVD of your drug tainted 2010 GF and wonder where it's all gone....you'll feel better afterwards.

Peel did their best to keep us in the game for 3 quarters with their appalling kicking but even that couldn’t save the black ducks from another hiding. The defence worked overtime to pressure Peel so a number of their misses could be put down to the tackling of guys like Jetta, Elari, Faulkner and co. However 6 goals on a fine day is never going to be enough to win a game.

For the second week in a row, Swans had nothing in the forward line and as a result players just bombed the ball forward which made it easy for the Peel backs to clear. Elari was often the target and he had no chance against much taller opponents. Cary was often battling against 2 or 3 opponents and he had no chance. The midfield were overwhelmed as the game went on and it would have been 100 points plus had Peel kicked more accurately from their set shots.

I thought that Harding could have rolled the dice and put Ames or Notte in the forward line at 3 quarter time in the hope that they could bring down a few marks and put Swans in with a slim chance. That was snuffed out in the first 5 minutes of the last quarter and then it became damage limitation from then on.

As you would expect the Peel AFL based players were a lot more skilled and their fitness was obvious in the last quarter. I was amazed though at the poor kicking at set shots by guys like Tabener, Hannath, Grey and Mzungu. They all missed easy shots that professional footballers really should have nailed. Not sure if any Freo players would have really demanded selection next week but given the Dockers performance tonight you just never know. Darcy Tucker looked a pretty good player and don’t be surprised to see him in a Dockers jumper before the end of the season.

Jetts was Swans best by a mile I thought, Ames was his usual reliable self. Cary tried hard but he is lacking confidence in his marking at the moment. Faulkner and Elari were good possession winners but many of their kicks and handballs were under pressure and therefore turned over. Blight and Riggio are not contributing much at the moment and as senior players need to lift their rating. Notte was OK but I think he need to go forward when Simmo gets back. Yukich tried very hard but was out of his depth against Griffin, he will learn from that.

Positives for Swans today were the great wins by the ressies and colts and Ryan Davis being part of the first Gold Coast team to ever win in Perth!

Also well done to the Perth Demons on their comeback win today. Great to see and hope you guys are in for an improved performance this season

Come on BC don't sink to their level, we're better than that.

maybe so outer but its obviously appropriate on the SD thread given they seem to have carte blanche approval from the mods to swear and wish physical injuries on opposition players...when in Rome... or as you said last week when in Mandurah...

I put a fair bit of effort into that match report. I didn't want it buried in the utter garbage that has been written on this site tonight like what happened last week.
