I missed the last 3 goals.
Is it just me or was Hale giving Mumford a bath?

They look a bit better Hawthorn. Still another 3 quarters to go but if Hawthorn kick away a bit now Sydney will be gone. Great passage of play from Jetta in that qtr in taking on those Hawks players.

Sewell reminds me of Mitch Hahn so much sometimes!

Half Time and the Swans have a handy 16 point lead. If the rain starts up that will hurt Hawthorn's kicking game and goals will become much more valuable.

Alex Johnson playing a massive game down back for Sydney. They killed Hawthorn on the spread in that qtr.

How was the stupid deliberate out of bounds, fair dinkum, the AFL needs to get serious about these Mickey mouse interpretations of the rules.

Loved the run by Jetta in the first, Rioli had no hope of catching up.

Hawthorn looked second rate in the second quarter.

Hawthorn looked second rate in the second quarter.

That was truly brilliant to watch. Jetta is close to the most exciting player in the AFL, if he isn't already.

Morton snagged two nice goals - nice to see a 'lower ranked' player step up on the big stage. It would have been an easy decision not to play him, let alone start him, but credit to the Swans and him.

I really enjoyed the first half of footy. Swans up by 16 but they're going to need every bit of that with Richards/Goodes/Mumford struggling a little.

Goodes' injury could be a huge blow - he was BOG in terms of effectiveness for mine.

That was a hell of a lot better than meatloaf or the usual crap they serve up at half time.

I could have done better than Meatloaf.

Are goals kicked on the rain worth more than 6 points?

Only kidding...

Obviously still worth 6 points but they are a lot harder to come by.
