Mind you, it is more probable that we'll play like we did in the first 3 quarters, but even low probability events do happen.

It's very difficult to play loose and fast at the SCG - every game I've seen there (which is plenty) looks like Under 8's. You could throw a handkerchief over the players most of the time. The AFL should mandate that any game on that ground should be 15 per side.
Anyhoo, Swans by 4 goals.

If Cripps, McKay and Cuningham all come back we are a big chance up there

Hopefully Jones can recover some of his pre concussion form. If he plays on Buddy like he played today..............

Buddy won't be back yet, hammy will keep him out for another couple of weeks at least

Doesn't always go that way. Some weeks we are crap, and lose by less than a kick, albeit to crappy sides, other weeks we beat top 8 sides. Either way we've spent 4 weeks sitting on the end of our seats having heart attacks irrespective of the opposition.
Reckon we more likely would've taken a thumping if we won today with that performance for 3 qtrs. We'd have got away with it and carried that over to next week. Seeing lost it might sharpen them more.

This report says 3-4 weeks, and he injured it in R14 v Hawks, and we play them in R17, so he could make it, but certainly cutting it fine. Clearly, Buddy missing helps not just the team, but Jones as well. He seemed out of sorts today, and Buddy is the last thing he needs.

Maybe McGovern should be tried there.

McGovern's OK, he's creating space for the others but not getting it in return.
The kids keep taking their opponents to his marking contests, while he drags his opponents away from their marking contests.

I noticed LOB doing the same...
He is very unselfish player and his running patterns are all about making space for the others...
