Round 14 - Sydney Swans v Footscray Bulldogs • Friday 27 June 2025 • 2:05 PM

[Mitcha]

Croft with just the 1 touch to HT (albeit a goal). He struggles when asked to play out of the goal square at this level. Hopefully he’ll get a run thru the middle in the 2nd half like last week.
Lots of missed/half chances from the team that qtr leading to a number of behinds from goal square scrimmages.

Yeah Croft is disappointing and can't blame a lack of inside 50s as his excuse. Have watched closely during the third and amazed how often he is where the ball isn't with Poulter and even Hargreaves seeming to be more proactive in working into usable areas. Going early but looks more like an athlete rather than having good footy IQ. Prove me wrong young fella.

Need to lift, as the Swans are playing better. Garcia a little quieter this quarter

3/4 time
Swans 6.5.41
FB 9.9.63

[Smads57]

Dogs 9.9 to Swans 6.5 - we struggled across half fwd that qtr

[ledge]

They did say the wind picked up then rain came . We have that advantage in the last and I expect us to out score them in the last .

[Bornadog]

Some nice end to end

[Bornadog]

Garcia a shocking kick for goal

[Bigdog]

I’ve had trouble watching the last couple of games so have only seen bits and pieces. Where has Jaques been playing?

[Smads57]

Dogs win it 73 to 59 - a hard watch for the second half. Garcia with 30 and 10 tackles.

[Smads57]

Without seeing any DE stats - I'd say Buss was going at around 50% - not a great game from him today.

[ledge]

We let ourselves down with our delivery into the forward line and our very lazy shots at goal , how some of our players miss goals is harder to do than kick them at times .
A win is a win and we continue on but we do need to fix these forward line problems .
Dare I say it but if JUH can end up playing VFL it could be scary .

[Bornadog]

Garcia must be ready for a call up

Yep I'd definitely like to see Buss impose himself a bit more after 40 or so games. I was more impressed with Walker's aerial game in his debut.
