How did Andy McCleod play?

Pretty poor. He was well held all day and rarely got near the ball. Ricciuto didn't have a huge one either, which is why it's so impressive that Adelaide led for the entire match until the last five minutes. Neil Craig has put a whole new gameplan into effect which involves heavy flooding and a running midfield. It worked very well early on and then the eagles managed to counter it over time and scoring became very rare. Perrie had a good game at CHF with 8 marks or so, and Edwards and Burton were great in the midfield. Most of the stars on both sides failed due to the restrictive gameplay and heavy tagging. Judd barely touched the ball either.

McLeod did have a decent defensive game though. He kept Stenglein from touching the ball much, and had 8 tackles.

Hmmm Interesting.

This isnt looking good for my fantasy footy team, my whole team is based around Judd and Riewoldt...... i spent up big on just them.. haha that hurts...

Guys, i've got a confession to make. Since the footy's been back, i haven't been able to get into a cricket match

I got 1342 in Dream Team, not a good start.

thats the biggest ****ing pile of **** ive ever had the "pleasure" of watching. the sydney swans, who ive supported since bloody `96, have a made a **** up of their game against main rival Kangaroos.

they handballed at the most stupid of times anf the kicking! how ****ing inaccurate! it ends up being a 23-point win to the Roos... ****ing disgraceful.

 

[Slats4ever]

i echo ur thoughts precisely nnanden. the swans are quickly becoming the most frustrating team to support. They should've killed the kanga's twice in that game, when they had the run of play in the second quarter and were up by 15 and again in the 3rd when they were up by 17. Barry Hall played woefully, Kenelly did nothing, the only defenders who stood up were ablett and bolton, the rest of the team if you ever read CW hang your heads in shame.

C'MON ROOS!!!!

Great stuff boys... the better team won! lol

hahaha ahhhh that was great!!

Go roos!!!!!

 

[Buddhmaster]

Don't worry Swans fan. It was a stupid game, played in a stupid place against a stupid team. We were just building up for a huge win next time we meet.

Just don't be so harsh on all the players. It was one bad game, no need to dump on everyone.

Did anyone watch Before the Game? That was classic! Carn the Lions

For some reason they aren't showing it over here.

 

[James90]

Maybe because if they were to show it live in Perth it would clash with the news?

 

[Buddhmaster]

They could atleast show it after the footy.

 

[James90]

Then it wouldn't be "Before the Game" would it

 

[Robertinho]

Carn the Blues, awesome fight back there. I tipped Sydney, so their loss comes as a huge shock to me...

Go POWER!

 

[Jono]

I got all the picks so far this week. What a win for the Blues. That was amazing!

Now if the Richmond can beat Hawthorn in the match of the losers.

Which I think they will do quite comfortably.

Now now dont be a sore loser, its not our fault that Sydney has a population of 3 million and they still put 22 losers out on the field every weekend

Go Roos!

For the record... how CRAP is Manuka Oval? It holds a mere 15 000, and the field is about 15-20m too short in length.
