Bit tight to get to Whitten oval then to Marvel. Swans sitting 12th, so hopefully we get a win.

Very light on for height. Hopefully play our game accordingly. Fine day with light winds forecast.

Cameron Owen - no 62, coming into the team with some much needed height

Hamling with the first goal for the Swans. Didn't realise he's playing up forward now.

I didn't realise he was at the swans. Had a bad run with injury over the years. He's certainly having the best of Buss early on.

Struggling to get our hands on it . Turnovers hurting us.

First Dogs goal to Bianco. Almost 30 mins gone Swans 6.2 to Dogs 1.0

It would help if the Dogs players kicked to teammates in RWB instead of Red and White!

Umpiring is ****ed at this level, getting absolutely rinsed

Been horrible but with the injuries to the list it?s just too much of an ask right now, literally zero structure and no KPPs around the ground makes things tough

Just need to limit the damage until the reinforcements return

Ugly start. Team is very unbalanced. The midfield looks second rate. A lot of mistakes at half back. Half forwards not working hard enough.

Despite Buss getting 2 kicked on him, I think his holding up okay with the pressure on him. He reads the ball very well. I love that he wants the ball. If he can hold his own 1 on 1 at afl level he will make it.

Let?s see what?s happens when we kick with the wind.

QT Swans 6.3 to Dogs 1.0. Baker playing off HB and one of the many offenders just kicking the ball to the opposition. Poorest qtr from Buss which didn’t help. Think the coaches will have a lot to say about the players discipline as well.
