Turnover costs us a goal  . Dusty mistake. His second in a minute  . 5 disposals yet not one has hit a target  .

Dusty a massive bomb from the clearance and it's gone for a point.

Seaby is killing us in the ruck around the ground. Point to Swans. Lucky they have missed a few.

Nice move of the pill down the ground by Edwards, Rance and Grigg but Jack dropped a sitter  .

Swans rebound and Seaby is too good for Browne pushing forward. Thankfully another miss.

Another Swans point.

15 - 19

Jacko caught dragging the ball in inside defensive 50  . Another miss. We've been very lucky. They've had 5 set shots for 5 behinds.

Browne has more hitouts by the stats but Seaby has had 8 possies and 6 hitouts and is dominating around the ground. 6 possies in their forward half. Our rucks have had only 1 possie and 1 clearance in our forward half.

[mightytiges]

Where's our forward pressure?  . I know the Swans are playing a loose man in defence but as soon as hits the ground we are getting burnt.

Free to Browne for Swans OOTF. Long to top of the square. Ball 20m out. Jack snaps a point.

Free to Jack - good tackle. O'Keefe holding the ball. Another good pass and finds Martin 47m out. Goal

Whitey you have to do better than that. Ends up with Reid who is also looking dangerous. Thankfully he misses.

Free to Seaby against brwone and Reid is owning Miller  . We are one tall defender short with Astbury off injured.

Good play by Martin bursting through from the centre clearance. A scramble up forward and it's rushed.
