It was so funny listening to the commentators try to justify the Buddy 2 hand shove in the back of Jones "well, he didnt really extend his hands too far... " "he didnt mean it" "he had his fingers crossed"
An the McKay stuff is spot on. As soon as he started to take a few grabs, bang, Swans plowing into him left and right, including taking his legs from him as he starts to jump. When Sinclair went off with the broken nose - that was a direct result of a Swans player taking his eyes off the ball and hitting the pack head first, in a marking contest, as 1 of 4 Swans trying to maim McKay, he just missed and got his own player. McKay got one chopping the arms, when it (or a tunnel, or a block off the ball) happens EVERY time............. hoepfully in a few years, when he is more of a name, he will get a few
That Buddy push was a shocker....no question there are two sets of rules. The umps helped them considerably (the age old AFL directive?)
The more I think about it the result wasn't a shocker - the Swans did play well - all their experienced heads TURNED UP.
Our experienced (older) heads were largely ineffectual - as usual. Will we ever see Murph swing a game or even be BOG - or close - again?
Won't see Ed kick 4 again in my lifetime. Why he isn't playing as a stopper bewilders me!
We blundered at the selection table AGAIN. Picked too many kids....Polson/LOB.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
