The Swans Nest

We go down at the Cattery, just didn’t look up for most of the night, and had to drop one soon.

Good game to lose, gain some insight into our game-plan against some of the best in the competition. Some sore bodies after today and lots to take into consideration as we move closer to the bye.

Thoughts after the game? 🔴⚪️

Lucky to only be down by 20 the way that we are playing at the moment 😬

Cats have been strong through the midfield and not allowing us much room to breathe. Need to take a moment when we can to find the best option. Often we are blasting it forward and not using the extra handball for more space.

Elite game to watch in terms of pressure and intensity.

You want to see what Rowy offers to this team? Just watch this match-winning tackle 😤

Hard as nails, and never gives up. True bloods culture in the way he goes about his game.

Well done on 150 Rowy 🔴⚪️

Had to bank the 4 points no matter what, and we did it 🔥

It’s a good day to be a Swans fan.

Enjoy the weekend faithful 🔴⚪️

We win those 😤

33 points down halfway through the game. We get it done.

Rowy’s tackle to seal the win. Bloods footy 🔴⚪️

Roberts out for 2-4 weeks 🤕

This explains the reduced game time on the weekend but we have some players returning from their own injuries including Tmac, Curnow and Serong all being tests for the game against the Pies 🔴⚪️

With the likely return of Curnow this Friday, do we see a 4 forward setup, with McLean helping out Grundy in the ruck?

It’s been floated before and with good VFL form from Dos and good performances in previous weeks from everyone, it’s definitely a possibility.

What do you think happens? 🔴⚪️

No Curnow or Serong 🤕

Charlie is sorting out an abdominal issue while Serong is dealing with some hamstring tightness. Hopefully both of these are shorter term that can be dealt with across the next few weeks.

Does McLean get a go? Who comes in for Serong? 🔴⚪️

Swans to be big prime time players 🔥

Love to see us be awarded for our great start to the season. Looking forward to more prime time games 🔴⚪️

W in Brodes’ 250th.

Got challenged in the fourth quarter, responded as we knew we would. Massive win 🔴⚪️

Rosas with 5 and the Swans by 22.

Real hot start throughout that first half, finding ways through Melbourne when they shut off one avenue. Mids picked up after the momentum that the Dees’ midfield had throughout centre clearances.

Defence holding up well and able to restrict the influence of importance players such as Kozzy.

Thoughts at the half?
