Perfect assessment, Sydney are not mugs, they have talent and are well coached. They threw the kitchen sink at us and we held up to it.
I suspect that’s why Horse resembled a stunned mullet in his presser ?

Great team effort. Really like what Cripps is bringing to the game. Might not have got any Brownlow votes over the past two weeks but he is doing some real heavy lifting in the ruck/follower role he has. Just got to get rid of his clangers. Kevin Bartlett always said that he use to hit Royce Hart on the chest every time, it was just that Hart was usually standing on someone else's shoulders, TDK is a bit like that. Not sure we can fit Big H in the side. He will probably have to come back through the twos and wait for an injury. Fisher has become a lot more effective since he has stopped trying to think and just started doing. Sydney has very few injuries and we have a fair few. As we play together more and we get more good players back I think we will improve. I am not sure where Sydney's improvement will come from. Tackling up the ground and in the midfield takes so much pressure off the backline. On top of that we have got a lot of good players down there. Weitering reminds me of Southby and Saad is as good as any half back we have ever had except for probably Doull. We have been able to defend our turnovers in the middle of the park this year better than previous seasons but we won't get away with it against Brisbane and Melbourne. We need to stop turning the ball over in the middle of the park. this comes down to the decision making of the person with the ball in their hands and the person who is calling for the ball. You can't afford to get too excited. I am sure the coaching staff will be working on it. Finally, if we had won by five two instead of two five, there would have been a lot less angst.

And something very poignant from BT late in the last:
"Winning was once and occasion, now its becoming an expectation"

You may have noticed, as the futility of the Swans revival slowly faded the likelihood of our victory grew, and in proportion the more depressive BT's voiceover became!

His best game in navy. His 1% were huge against Sydney.
I counted at least 2 smothers and a few spoils against blokes bigger than him. Might have ducked once but I can forgive the odd one.
