Paddy is out for the rest of the year. All the best young man, bloody hard road back from here. From the swans website: “Sydney Swans defender Paddy McCartin will sit out the remainder of the AFL season as he continues to recover from ongoing concussion symptoms. McCartin has been working with club ...

Funnily enough, this could have been happening on the north Melbourne forum a few years back, talking about mason wood.

I guess for every mason wood, there’s plenty we don’t hear from again.

Another handball over the top from the Swans Seriously, they fleece us every time. We should veto them during the trade period. Schneider and Dempster say hello Those two came courtesy of RtB in 2007. Since Longmire has coached the Swines, they have absolutely fleeced us. Didn’t we pick up membrey ...

Feel like Roos have bought us down to their level. Phillipou finally got the mark he’s been threatening to take.

Perfect game to have on in the background while cooking dinner and feeding the kid - no need to watch too closely!

WHAT A SHOOTOUT

All throughout the week, I felt an uneasiness about going into last night’s game. That whole Horny Frank media beat up over booing that petulant little flog felt particularly foreboding. Not to mention, our record against Port in the last 12 years has been utterly atrocious (1 win during the lockdo...

I’m not so sure… Byrnes has generally been good albeit he had a down performance tonight. The kid is still developing and the feature that’s emerging is that he’s a player that at this point… can still be neutralised. Hopefully with more games/development, he can close the gap btw better and worst ...

How about the sliding doors moment close to the end?we ran down Ollie wines and got him holding the ball, took the advantage - Steele streaming forward with a saint either side, gets mowed down!

If I recall, we had the momentum too

He might look like he stinks of ciggies, but he came with a good plan.
Looked like the 5 day break cooked us, too many bombs i50 when the game was on the line.

Too many high kicks i50 - did they forget we don’t have much tall timber??

Fkn Malcolm Blight acolyte and hates the club.

Hinkley looks like he would stink of ciggies.

Not sure why I think it, but it’s there.

Field kicking is good - WOOD IS GOOD

Bring in Bytel, Billings for a start ... It’ll be Really interesting to see Billings under Ross- I don’t think he’s ever seemed to have that real toughness/killer instinct. Can Ross bring out a version of that in him? I guess there were similar questions over brad hill in recent years - maybe it’s ...

Upcoming friday night game off a 5 day break. How do you approach match committee? For me, you make some changes and rest a few. I expect to see a few (managed) in the outs this week including Philippou. Do we have enough cattle to rest blokes? Who comes in for Phillipou? (Haven’t paid a lot of att...

If a ruckman gets you holding the ball - that’s embarrassing! Cop that Sam Walsh.

Owens you absolute legend

Yep - The beauty of the butler/Higgins combo. I guess they’re putting time into Higgins today, so Dan's getting more opportunities

We are getting on top (for this game anyway)

Brad hill with a great smother

Mason wood. Just pops up doesn’t he!

Double post

Wood is good. Thank faaaaak for half time!

If it’s still an arm wrestle at start of last quarter, do we back our legs to beat their big guys?

Feel like they’ve started better than us. We need to lift and holy hell, that Gresham Clanger was hard to watch.

Byrnes runs like mad and is tough as anything.

From memory, Jack didn’t do a lot, so perhaps that counts for Ben.

13 touches, 2 contested possessions, 1 goal. Don't know what his usual output is.

Ok so not too bad, I remember him fluffing a couple of kicks out on the full.
