I went to an intra-club practice match several years ago and was impressed when a strapping young rookie took a fantastic pack mark. I thought that he could become a very good footballer and I think that Levi has finally become that very good footballer. His chase and tackle in the last quarter was a great effort, and not something we would expect from Levi. It wasn’t a match-winning effort but it represented what seems to be a new found desire to be a more complete footballer. Well done Levi ... but I’m not sure that I can squeeze him into my best five players.

I don't know about you people but I have taken a major dislike against Blakey. I don't know if it's his demeanour or apparent aggrogance but he needs taking down a peg. Reminds me of a young Fletcher.... all elbows and attitude.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

They’ve become a whiney bunch, the Swans.
Make no mistake, to be in finals contention they needed to win this one.
The boys should be incredibly proud of themselves today, especially as they would’ve been disappointed after last weeks close loss.
Fan farking tastic!

Watched the game today on foxtel. Now I generally like Paul Roos but he is very Sydney biased.
Anyway great win by the boys. The change post BB pretty amazing. Yes the skill errors are still there but the confidence and belief has grown significantly and they just keep working away and are helping each other and you can see they are enjoying their footy and playing with each other.
That translates into a good team to watch now..it's not like going to the dentist anymore watching us play! ;D

Agree, listening to Roos was so Sydney biased it was really grating.
Yes there were stupid skill errors but not as many plus I saw something I haven’t seen for a long time - I think it was Kreuzer blocking after giving off to cripps in the 4th - unselfish.
And the tackling has improved 100%.
Newman said after the game, we have a lot of good young players and they’re being left to play. I would love to know what exactly has happened.

Will Sedderfield 9 tackles and significant forward pressure. Exactly what Teague said about ‘Just doing your job.’ Progressing very nicely......after 14 games!!

Went out to the game yesterday with my boy, just about the ultimate football experience for him.
I found out beforehand where the cheer quad were sitting and booked our seats with them.
We went to the pub beforehand for the pre match meet and greet, only downside for the day was not winning a raffle.
Legend bloke at the pub handed me an envelope and says to me “take your boy out on the field for the guard of honour”.
Lined up on the ground for cheers and high fives as the lads took the ground.
My boy had a ball screaming his head off and cheering at the top of his lungs with the cheer squad guys.
A win against my equal most hated team, a great win!
And As we are cheering for the boys down on the boundary after the game, Gibbons runs straight over to my son and hands him a signed ball.
The boy hasn’t stopped playing with it since we got home. He is pretending he is a Patrick Cripps & Marc Murphy running around the house kicking it and handpassing to himself.
Couldn’t have planned a more legendary experience for him.

Great stuff!
