    The ball is slightly smothered as Dahl Kicks it. You can see the ball deviating as the Swans players hands come down.

    Well, if I had to pick one player in a foot-race, it would be a certain Mr E. Wood. Damn, that one handed pick up in the wet was sublime.

    Imagine if he fluffed it, oh my Rohan was ready to pounce. There's a fine line between genius and idiot and it's usually separated by success. Most backs would have soccered and chased to the boundary, which probably would have been enough.

    Just on Rohan watch him behind Boyd on the half back line, the boy has some toe for the closing minutes of slog fest. between the half back and half forward line he's well behind Boyd, catches him and then burns him off by 5 metres, Boydy actually tries to retard him on the way through and then thinks better of it.

    Not a bad player Rohan.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Good points. With two men on his tail, I think he had to pick it up. They are brutal on deliberate these days, and if he did, one would have scragged him in the chase while the other was free to get possession. Good work Easton.

    Did the umpire call touched? I don't know. If he didn't and it across the line without being touched it would be hard to overturn based on the evidence in that footage.

    Watching the game live on a big screen the guy standing next to me said the kick had been touched.
