Richmond to play Sydney Swans in round 3 pre-season clash at Narranderra
Tuesday, February 19, 2008. 5:44pm
By Shannon Byrne
The Richmond Football Club will be doing battle against the Sydney Swans next week at Narrandera Oval in round three of the AFL pre-season cup.
Today the AFL announced the Sydney Swans will return to the Riverina for the pre-season clash with The Tigers. This will be The Swans consecutive year to play at the Narrandera sports ground, after they beat Collingwood by 56points last year in front of more than 10,000 footy fans.
It will be The Tigers’ first visit to the Riverina and they will be looking for all of their supporters to don the yellow and black and help them across the line against the popular Sydney outfit.
The highly anticipated clash will be a special game for footy fans in the Riverina, as it will be the only AFL game to be played here in the AFL’s 150th anniversary year. Although the game was originally scheduled for Lavington Sportsground, the AFL (NSW/ACT) did want to alternate a game across the NSW region, it was handed to Narrandera for the consecutive year after Lavington sportsground did not meet the standards required by the AFL.
The round three pre-season match will be played next Friday, 29th February, at Narrandera Sport Ground, and if last years attendance is any indication, to avoid disappointment you should get your ticket prior to the game and get there early – the game gets underway at 7pm.

#^$$%^$% that bites
-
Oh good! We get to travel to another remote venue. ::)
-
The price of being kicked out of the NAB Cup first round.
On the Murrumbidgee downstream from Wagga isn't too remote. We were up at Echuca the other week so just a bit further inland than that. Better Narrandera than Albany or Geraldton.
-
That's FACT
-
Pity about Lavington - great venue - shocking surface
I would have gone to Albury
Wont be going to Naranderra :'(
What this means is our last praccy game should be in Victoria - Melb metro somewhere
Well at least you'd hope that would be the case :pray
-
What this means is our last praccy game should be in Victoria - Melb metro somewhere
Bayswater looks in pretty good nik atm ;D

Nah, his name's CUB. :P
Casey Fields is a paddock compared to Batyswater Oval.
I went to Lavington for a Richmond v Essendon pre-season game a couple of years ago. It rained so hard and was so windy that it was called off.
Nice drive. :-\
-
We could end up at Princes Park like last year :P.
MX tonight said the AFL is forking out for a private chartered jet to take the Tiges to Narranderra.
-
They're expecting a crowd in excess of 10,000 in Narrandera :thumbsup

Narrandera Sportsground - Victoria Avenue, Narrandera
The Narrandera Sportsground is known as one of the top sports grounds in Southern New South Wales due to its high quality playing surface and facilities for both players and spectators. To further improve the facility, Narrandera Shire Council has completed the "Narrandera Sportsground Floodlighting Project" which now allows the Sportsground to host events at night. Currently, the Narrandera Sportsground is the home of the Narrandera Imperial Eagles Australian Football Club which competes in the Riverina Football League.

:-[ Sorry 632. I was only saying that for the players and travelling time stuck in a plane. IIRC the last time we played in Gero a couple of years ago it took the team 5 or 6 hours to get there changing planes and all.
-
mmm but only 4 - 5 hrs in the car for me :thumbsup
-
Is anyone heading to Narrandera to watch the game on Friday?
-
The Daily Telegraph says the Swans will be near full strength this week in bringing back Leo Barry and Kennelly. Only Ted Richards is missing.
Who should play this week for us?
We know Richo is coming back in but do we go with more senior bodies or do we go with youth like we did this time last year against Sydney?
-
would like to but work commitments wont allow me to.
does anyone know if this game will be broadcAST on radio or net?
-
If it was on a weekend I would have gone, but a friday night is a bit too difficult to get there after work from Sydney. :P
-
does anyone know if this game will be broadcAST on radio or net?
The first post comes from ABC Riverina radio but it doesn't look like they are broadcasting the game and it doesn't look like they have a web broadcast link even if they were.
-
I would rest a few of the older players as you'll want them playing in the final practice match prior to round 1. So this may be the last chance to give them a break until midseason.
-
Play as many as we can switch em round and then as MT said, last match - The captain serious mask goes on.
-
;D resting players during pre-season :rollin :rollin thats a new one
-
Play to win always play to win so play the best 22
-
Give Collins a game! :pray
-
Play to win always play to win so play the best 22
Actually bene boy, you are dead set spot on.
We have been so pox for so long, f the risk of injuries whatever we should go into every battle at the fullest of strength possible and eveyone to play as if it was there last game or day on earth.
Sick of soft c's that wont play for the Richmond jumper, time to figure who they are for sure and f them of.

That's how we roll in my humble opinion.
In the real stuff Polak would be ahead of Cleve for selection and Richo would be in a KP position but I want to see Cleve do something and let Richo gallop round the paddock like a stallion to leave some space in the forward line and to be honest I just want Polo in the thick of it so we can see if he still has it. :-\

Fairly close to full strength excluding Cogs, Edwards, Connors. No Hyde or JON either. Looks like Rainesy, Polak and Jacko have come in.
Mine would be very close to yours tigersalive. It will be interesting who we start on Hall. Thursty is slight for the big gorilla. We may experiment with Schulz or Silvester on him or even Kel.

Richardson in blockbuster
Daily Advertiser
26 February 2008 - 10:32AM
In a massive boost to the profile of the game, Richardson, one of the most respected and admired players in the AFL, will be one of the leaders for the near full strength Richmond line-up against Sydney.
“We are certainly taking this game very seriously,” Richmond media officer Judith Donnelly said.
“We are going to bring our strongest team available.
“Richardson missed last weekend because of a prior commitment but he will be in.”
In a major coup for the Riverina, fans will have the chance to see a legend of the modern era play for possibly the last time as Richardson nears the end of his career.
In a stellar career for the Tigers, Richardson has played 256 games amassing an incredible 742 goals.
The game at Narrandera is expected to draw a crowd of about 10,000 people, with Richmond fielding a strong squad.
Sydney has always been well-supported in the Riverina and last year more than 10,000 people converged on Narrandera Sportsground to watch the Swans tackle Collingwood in a trial game.
Richmond and Sydney both enjoyed resounding wins at the weekend with the Swans thrashing Port Adelaide while the Tigers easily accounted for Melbourne.
Matthew Richardson’s glittering career
- DOB: 19/3/1975
- Height: 195cm
- Weight: 104kg
- Position: Forward
- Clubs: Richmond Tigers
- AFL Debut: Richmond Tigers v St Kilda May 5,1993
- Career games: 256 games
- Career goals: 742
- All Australian representative: 1996, 1999

10,000 expected for AFL trial clash
Daily Advertiser
26 February 2008
The Riverina will hold its second major sporting event in as many weeks on Friday night when Sydney and Richmond do battle in an AFL trial blockbuster at Narrandera Sportsground.
Following on from last week’s NRL trial in Lavington, Riverina fans will have the opportunity to watch some of the best AFL players in action.
Habel yesterday reported tickets sales were increasing and believes the target of 10,000 people will be attainable.
“We have sold over 3000 already,” Habel said.
“All the outlets have been really busy today (yesterday) as well and we will get another update tomorrow (today).
“We expect there will be another big increase tomorrow (today) and in the days leading up to the game.
“It (10,000) would be great and we will go close.”
Last year more than 10,000 fans flocked to Narrandera Sportsground to watch Sydney and Collingwood in action.
Habel yesterday said Richmond would have just as much appeal as Collingwood – especially after the Tigers announced they would be bringing close to a full-strength team for the duel.
“We haven’t heard anything about what team the Swans will have but Richmond are going have a good team in,” Habel said.
“We are really happy with the two sides and we think both of them will bring some of their bigger names.
“The season starts pretty soon so most clubs would be looking to give their players some match practice and get some miles in the legs.”
Richmond yesterday revealed it would be playing superstar forward Matthew Richardson while Sydney are expected to name star defender Leo Barry, who is from Deniliquin.
Former AFL champion Robert ‘Dipper” DiPierdomenico will make the journey to Narrandera as part of the 150 years celebrations.
Habel also suggested people purchase their tickets before the game to avoid waiting and queuing on Friday night.

Don't forget Malceski who's probably out for the season. A very damaging player who the Swans will really miss this season.

Ticket sales hint at record crowd
Daily Advertiser
Charlie Whiteley
28 February 2008
This number of pre-purchased tickets is likely to see a record amount of fans at the ground, beating last year’s attendance for the Swans v Collingwood game.
With both teams selecting near full strength sides it will be great for fans in the Riverina to see superstars such as Matthew Richardson and Barry Hall in action.
“It’s a good opportunity for fans to take advantage of seeing some of the greats of the game play,” Southern NSW AFL Regional Manager Paul Habel said.
“Both clubs have been open in picking strong teams so it is a good opportunity for players to see the Richardson’s, Foley’s, Hall’s and Goodes’ play,” he said.
There has been a constant flow of tickets throughout the week, with fans from outside the Riverina looking at travelling down for the clash.
“People are travelling to the game from Sydney and Melbourne so I’m sure there will be a good atmosphere,” Narrandera ex-services club assistant manager Bev Ashcroft said.
“Last year was packed and the way tickets have been sold I’m sure it will be this year, tickets are running out fast,” she said.
Ashcroft said the Narrandera Sportsground was in pristine condition with the facilities as good as anywhere outside of Sydney and Melbourne.
“It should be a great night of AFL with some great football and entertainment on show,” she said.
Habel is advising people to get to Narrandera Sportsground nice and early so they can take advantage of the pre-game entertainment on offer.
“The NAB tour will be at the ground which will be fantastic, especially for kids,” he said.
“I urge families to come along and take advantage of a great promotion. There will be several competitions available, past players will be there, there will be music, it should be a great night,” he said.

SWANS ON ATTACK
Daily Advertiser
Matt Malone
28 February 2008
Swans assistant coach Mark Stone yesterday confirmed Sydney would field its biggest names in the all-important NAB Challenge game at Narrandera.
Goodes and Hall, along with Riverina-bred Swans stars Brett Kirk, Leo Barry and Ben Mathews, will all line up for Sydney.
In a big boost to the pre-season fixture, Richmond followed suit yesterday by naming a full-strength squad, including the likes of Matthew Richardson, Brett Deledio, Troy Simmonds and Nathan Brown.
Stone yesterday declared game-on to Richmond, revealing the stakes were high in the crucial lead-up game to the AFL season.
“Richmond is a pretty competitive team, and by the looks of it, they’ll be bringing a fairly strong side,” Stone said yesterday.
“They haven’t had a great pre-season so far so they’ll be looking at building up some confidence heading into round one and there’s no doubt we’ll be trying to do the same.
“They’d want to put a win on the board, I’d say, to try and give themselves a boost before the start of the season.”
Stone said the Swans were looking forward to giving more game time to Hall and fellow senior players as they look to fine-tune their game for round one.
“It’s going to be a pretty strong side. It won’t be full strength but it’ll be at least at 75 per cent,” Stone said.
“There’ll be a couple of guys coming out of last week’s side but the majority will play again – Hall, Goodes, Kirk and Barry will all be there.

True tiga. Roos said after last season the Swans needed to add more pace and help out the likes of Malceski and Kennelly (why they traded for Mattner). Losing him is a big blow.
whats the go with edwards, once again not named
Shane's getting over a slight quad. He trained fully on Tuesday but obviously they aren't taking any risks.
Petts looked like he copped a niggle at training on Tuesday so if he doesn't play then we'll know why.

sydney still have a good side and much better than ours, dont write off the swans and roos yet

I beg to differ there X, Schneider at his best is significantly better than Mattner. IMHO Mattner is a slight improvement on our own Rainesy. Honest goer who lacks peripheral vision and because of this often gets tackled. Schneider on the other hand has many Gablett qualities IMO. At his best he is hard to tackle, has beautiful kicking skills and is a genuine matchwinner.
But with your 2nd point I agree. Swans are far from a crap team.
-
Raines problem is that his team mates dont talk to him when his got the ball
that comes from players like Captain dumb dumb who dont talk on the field so the players follow the leader
If players talked it up more on the field Raines wouldnot run into problems & thats fact
l would back mattner over Snickers anyday

A definite blockbuster
Daily Advertiser
Paul McLoughlin
29 February 2008
The Tigers had an indifferent start to the NAB Cup going down to the Saints in its first round encounter, but that should be the only blight on a solid pre-season campaign for the proud club.
Last weekend Richmond showed more of its fighting spirit with a confidence-boosting 35-point victory over Melbourne, and goes into tonight’s clash keen to continue that form.
Coach Terry Wallace will be settling on a game plan for the “serious” season and with that plan on display tonight, the club and its supporters will get a much better measuring stick for the year ahead.
Former Rising Star Brett Deledio won’t find himself starved of opportunity in the forward line tonight – his outstanding skills will be used further up the ground to deliver to a revitalised Matthew Richardson who will enjoy cameo performances from the likes of Nathan Brown and Kayne Pettifer.
The return of Jay Schulz and the talented youngster Cleve Hughes will add another tall dimension to the line-up.
New recruits Jordan McMahon (Western Bulldogs) and Mitch Morton (West Coast) have already found their feet and been solid contributors in the club’s pre-season outings.
The blend of experience and youth has built a solid base for Richmond to begin its climb up the AFL ladder.
Tonight’s victory over the Swans will signal to all that the 2007 wooden spoon team can expect better times ahead.

Swans primed for AFL Blockbuster
Daily Advertiser
Matt Malone
29 February 2008
Roos yesterday heaped praise on his playing group, describing the Swans’ pre-season efforts as close to the best he has seen is his time at the club.
Both Sydney and Richmond will take near full-strength line-ups into the game and a crowd of over 10,000 spectators is expected at the clash.
With Sydney looking at wiping out its renowned slow starts to the AFL season this year, Roos yesterday told The Daily Advertiser tonight’s clash was a crucial lead-up game for the Swans.
“How we start the season really depends on the next two weeks,” Roos said.
“So far we’re in front of where we’ve been at in previous years but from our point of view we still want to get a lot better over the next two weeks.
“Given we finished last year three weeks early, we’re a lot more advanced for this time of year this pre-season and you can certainly tell the difference.
“All our guys have really impressed and in terms of this game, we’re taking in our 24 best-performed players that were available.
“I’m sure Richmond will be in the same position. These next two weeks you’ve really got to get your best team out there and get them going the best you can.”
All three Sydney co-captains, Leo Barry, Brett Kirk and Craig Bolton will take the field for the Swans, along with big-name stars Barry Hall, Adam Goodes and Ryan O’Keefe.
Richmond has also shown its intentions for the big pre-season encounter and will be led by skipper Kane Johnson and the likes of Matthew Richardson, Brett Deledio and Nathan Brown.
Roos encountered the Narrandera experience with Sydney last year when the Swans easily accounted for Collingwood.
The 2005 premiership winning coach said the Swans were again looking forward to their trip to the bush.
“Absolutely, we had a great time out there last year,” Roos said.
“The fans there were terrific and the town itself really made us feel very welcome last year and I’m sure it will be the same again.”

Don't be facetious or I won't ask how Collo is going ;)
:rollin
:lol
-
Excuse my rough notes :-)
Deledio best player – playing in the middle but resting up forward. Kicked a couple.
Is Schulz playing and if so where? Playing out of the square deep forward – but got cleaned up by Richo. Not standing out before being ko'd - he's unconscious
Are we being less Richo-centric? We’re going to him nearly every time forward. Cleve pushing up the ground. Polak up forward but is now back.
Barry hall their best player – 4 goal.
How's Collo going in his first game? Got one kick but keeping an eye out for him.
Tambo? Very quiet 1st quarter – about six kicks this quarter
Deledio, Newman our best
Rucks getting the taps but we’re not clearing – Patto in the ruck
10.7 Richmond
7.6 Sydney

Thanks Moi :cheers.
Onya Lids and Newy.

Geezus..Poor Schulz.

Has Richo ever heard of protecting the forward taking a mark?
Once is an accident twice is just bloody stupid.

stop ur whining ffs.
Thanks Moi,I just woke up - ha.
Keep it coming lovey.

richo is gay

Re the Swans line up and whether it's full strength or not. This from BF
I think it's fair to say the Swans are starting to approach the team they'll send out in round 1 - close enough to suggest the match should be very competitive. Other than the obvious absence of Malceski, the players missing who would be close to walk-up starts are Kennelly, Buchanan, Everitt, Richards, and Fosdike, with Schmidt also missing.
But only the first two of those are probables for round 1 in any case.

15.7 to 10.8
Richo 4
White 2
Pettifer 1
Brown quiet
Jordan Mcmahon been on for 2 qtr doing okay. Playing CHF by the look at it.
Hall got 4 or 5
Simmo and Patto winning the ruck
Swans seem to be playing a full line up

ouch

now we know why richo knocked out jay

Is that 3/4 time Moi?
If it's 2 weeks then Sarge will be fine by the time the real stuff starts.

Sarge wouldnot make the top 22 even if fit go figure

Everitt is out, might be why we're winning the ruck and probably the game.
Hard to judge really with Everitt out.

Thanks again moizy

did u miss the but hope not
big deal, we won bt 3 goals when it should have been 8

Hughes was quiet after first quarter. Played up back in the last qtr.
Joel Bowden didn’t play. Ball played in the ruck for Swans, pretty ineffectual. Newman very good. Foley serviceable. Raines quiet, but had a run in the midfield – played better there. Thursfield played on O'Loughlin who had no influence.
Patto was great according to Goricho12, was really rapt in his game.
Best players: King, Richo
Injuries: No inj apart from Schultz. Although Jordan McMahon looks like he’s got a hamstring problem but did well.
Andy Collins played a serviceable game. Played a utility role, wing and midfield. Wasn’t brilliant but played a serviceable game.
Thanks to Goricho12 for the scores :thumbsup :clapping :bow
-
A win's a win. I couldn't care less if it was 1 point or 10 goals. Anything's better than a loss, although sometimes here you wouldn't know it. ::)
-
Cheers for that Moi. Onya Collo lol.
Good news about Patto and Simmo in the ruck.
I guess we got through relatively unscathed although Jordy having a hamstring problem is a downer.
Newy sounds like he is in for a big year. Has been in the bests every week so far in the praccy matches.
-

Agree Julz, you can only beat who's put in front of you. Winning is better than losing no matter how you look at it. Make of this win what you will but the boys did what they had to tonight. Hopefully it will carry on to the season proper but for tonight there is no more they could have done. Yes it's only a practice match, but it's a practice match that we were victorious in. Better than a loss surely?

but at the end of the day its still feb 29

Schulz off on a stretcher, bruised sternum is the early word.

True the results are meaningless but it makes the media who claimed all gloom and doom at Punt Road based on one bad practice match loss look like fools.

watch out next week, when geelong beat us to a pulp

but at the end of the day its still feb 29
Well if thats what you think, then go away and come back in 3 weeks time. You obviously don't care so why bother logging on? :shh
I love any win. :bow Back to Back Tigers, there is nothing like mooooooomentum to start the year

Thanks Moi! well done Tigers! 6 goals to Richo...not to shabby, I'll take that and be happy with it as well! :cheers :gotigers

and we copped a few injuries.

Back to the topic folks ::)
Yep we copped some injuries rogerd3.
--------------------------
okay fox sports just said the score was 17.11 113 to 13.10.88
Polak injured with a bruised heel and Schulz hurt a rib when Richo ran into him and hit him with his knee. He was meant to go to the local hospital, but they decided to fly him back to Melbourne for treatment instead.

simmo hurt as well ive been told by sms, anyone else heard this?

Solid win today but not getting carried away given Roo's willingness to experiment with these matches.
I hope Schulz just has badly bruised ribs and they are not broken. :-\
Did Cogs have a run today? If so how did he go?

Stiffness in his quadricep according to AAP.

Wallace said the 22-year-old had pulled up okay soon after the match but would be closely examined tomorrow. "He'll get x-rays tomorrow".

I believe Cogs will play again for Coburg tomorrow Magic.

Simmo didn`t play after half time. No obvious reason to think that he was hurt otherwise

Good confidence builder for the squad. :clapping
Looks like Sydney played some of their experienced players by a look of their goalkickers, although it doesn't portray game time.
I look forward to seeing the Coburg game results and description tomorrow.

When it comes to us a wins a win - albeit a practice match.
Swans had a stong team and obviously out to win, so satisfied here.
Thank god we didn't lose, the way some people carry on ::) ......

Sports Tonight showed some vision from the game last night. A nice goal by the captain lol. Sugar got bumped as he tried to pass to Browny. The ball landed 10m in from of Browny, bounced over Browny and his opponent's heads and then took a legbreak through for the goal :lol :thumbsup.

there must be some more footage some where

Here's a match report from the Tiger Talk Yahoo email list
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/tiger-talk/message/84085
First Quarter
We started with the following team
Hughes Lids Brown
White Richo Pettifer
Howatt Collins Tivva
McMahon Moore Newman
King Schulz Raines
and Ruck Simmo Tuck and Tambling
Score 5.5 35 to 3.3 21
Rich: Richo 2, Tuck 1, Hughes 1,Polak 1
Highlights
A fantastic four bounce run by Foley from half back to half forward with
a swan on his tail but unable to catch him - Foley's fitness seemed good
Simmo excellent in the ruck in first fifteen minutes - looked slimmer
and fitter than last year but still tired badly after that fifteen minutes
Hughes took a couple of strong marks against a good opponent in Bolton -
had a good first quarter
Matt White was a surprise on a hff and did well - added pace and
defensive pressure and was a good move
Andrew Collins was tagging Kirk in the centre - Kirk didnt do much but
Collins never got a touch - depsite this i noticed he was loud on the
field and quite often was ordering more senior players to man up!
Moore was on Hall and simply wasnt strong enough - tried playing him
from 5m away and using his speed and that didnt work either
Schulz was on their resting ruckman and made a half a dozen terrific
runs into the forward line - worked hard which was a nice surprise
and finally Richo was terrific - forget thoughts of retirement - he was
running around like a youngster and his aerial strength was awesome - he
played on Roberts- Thompson and he was clearly outpointing him to be BOG
in the first quarter
interestingly Terry tended not to make interchanges in the first half of
quarters and then made a raft of them suddenly
whilst we were playing a better standard of footy, there were still 2
skill turnovers that resulted in goals
2nd Quarter 10.7 to 7.7
Rich: Richo 1, Lids 1 , Brown 1, Pettifer 1, Tambling 1
Highlights:
a few changes in defense - with Polak and Thursfield on at the back but
Moore still on Hall
two turnovers again for 2 goals to Hall
Simmo doing well marking around the ground and Polak exceptional in the
air in defense
King and Newman providing enormous run out of defense
Brown running up and down the ground - looks very fit and showed his
skill with some strong marking and stepping past the man on the mark -
showing real glimpses of his best
Foley, Johnson and Tambling in the middle - Johnson showing an
improvement on last year and Tambling exceptional with his pace but also
going in hard for the ball - played more of an inside role than ive seen
from him in the past and also tried to break through packs multiple
times - also some good defensive tackles - really good effort
Patto cant kick, especially short passes!
Schulz backs into a pack - he has no fear - and looked like he copped
someone slamming into his back/ribs - carried off on a stretcher - came
to the bench after half time looking very sore and sorry - i was
disappointed with the lack of attention he seemed to be getting from the
medical staff - the poor bugger keeps getting injured
3rd Quarter 15.9 to 11.9
Rich: Lids 1, Richo 1, Pettifer 1, Johnson 1, White 1
Highlights
Thursfield getting more game time on O'Laughlin and doing well,
especially with his run out of the backline
Foley and Johnson longs stints on the bench
terrific roving off the pack by white sets up a goal
Simmo taps at the centre bounce then runs to the 50m to mark - showing
his fitness was coming along
interesting first part of the third quarter where the swans for the
first time tried to bottle it up - but i was impressed with our pace out
of the middle (Foley when on the ground, Tambling) and out of defense
(King, Newman)
McMahon was quiet in the first half when on the ground at half back -
played the 3rd quarter on the wing - continued to be quiet - and his
disposal didnt live up to my expectations
Howatt played wing and twice got caught because he refuses to use his
right foot
Collins had a much improved third quarter - started to look a little
like he might belong - and unlike others, can use the ball well by foot
Polak came off limping after a fine game in the backline and some
excellent marking - didnt look too serious
4th Quarter 17.11 to 13.10
Rich: Lids 1 Richo 1
Main goal scorers Richo 5, Lids 3, Pettifer 2 (not Johnson)
Highlights
Hall didnt play and the swans had no presence up forward
mind you we had Schulz and Polak off injured
we played without a CHF (had richo and Lids in the square) and three
midgets across half forward
Patto did some smart tap work but boy he cant kick - another turnover
from him - he did ruck well but if he gets the ball, he seems to have
brain freeze
Tucky had been going in hard all night - hope they keep playing him in
the middle and not out of the backline
Thursfield very solid
Pettifer presenting well up forward and Jacko giving us a marking option
Lids took a terrific pack mark and Tivva getting the ball and using it
very well
mind you everyone slowed down in the last quarter
In summary, less turnovers, more pace out of the middle and much more
run out of the backline
Best Players: Richo, Tambling, King, Polak, Newman
The funniest incident was when Browny was coming off the interchange
bench - Hughes came off and Browny noticed the Swans player not looking
- so stayed off the ground as though he was waiting to be interchanged -
the swans player saw this and ignored him and Browny then snuck on once
the swans player turned away - very sneaky!
disappointments Raines and McMahon were very quiet all night

there must be some more footage some where
There's only been snippets on the news services. Ch 9 showed nothing from our game. Ch 7 and Ch 10 showed the Schulz collision. Ch 10 also showed Sugar's bouncing goal.
Foxtel is apparently where the footage comes from but they don't show it to the public ???.

but at the end of the day its still feb 29
