As a ruckman I can tell you that you don’t know who is where and doing what when you go for the tap. The midfield needed to give Clarke a bit more help on where to tap.
Only watch a final quarter replay.
Consider this a health warning.
Zlarke building nicely. Stays in for structure. If the swans midfielders can shark his taps, our players should practice reading his taps all week ffs.
He’s been bitter ever since Gary Moorcroft immortalised him
True, but Allir played a great game.
And yeah I think Hepp back will help put Clarke.
Skills deplorable, clean that up and we can go somewhere. Fark it was terrible to watch.
And even better, if as expected Adelaide and West Coast win, we stay there.
McKernan late in marking contest - sternly condemned “almost reportable”
Saad shoulder to the face - he ran into his shoulder Nyuk nyuk nyuk
Salty
I’ll live it through the week on Blitz.
Highlight of the game was Stringer’s chase that ended up with Zaka’s goal.

No one got to see any replays of the ■■■■ decisions!

Couple of my observations.
A mobile ruckman can make such a difference Aliir smashed us. If we can find somebody who can play a decent Ruck role and be crafty and smart about it but really explosive around the contest.
I’d like to see a replay of Parker’■■■■■ on Saad, looked high and late.
I’d rather be going with another medium or small forward rather than our current setup. Lav, Stringer and Smack is enough talls.
In the last Qtr Roos actually agreed with one of the free kicks we got. I think it was one for Stringer. I think he must have briefly forgotten the Swans were playing. He’s more biased than blitz
Great to see McKernan follow up arguably his best afl game last week with another fantastic game today. Hopefully can continue this form for the rest of the season
Zaharakis best for us
But Zac Clarke although bad game had a good last 5 minutes when it counted.
Zac Clarke played well last quarter.
Thought the interviews were refreshingly honest.
A lot of bad players out there today. Zac Clarke probably gets a reprieve, McKernan might be at risk of suspension.
If so, Zerk-Thatcher in and Hooker forward.
Outside Z. Clarke; Fwds probably our worst, but delivery to them was horrendous. Any changes will require a VFL “bang the door down” type performance.
in ruck contests itself he may struggle, but i have said all season i reckon hartley could be a decent around the ground added midfielder if he was to be played in the ruck.
his long kicking could help get it over the back, seeing our forwards constantly seem to want players to kick it out hte back despite it being a 70 odd meter kick
No chance of Smack being suspended
