Swans Secure 3rd Spot
Well I made my way out to the MCG yesterday in the knowledge that the Swans were going into a match that we couldn't lose because we were playing a team that we knew didn't want to win and put their extra 1st Round draft picks at risks.
Therefore the main focus of interest was whether the Swans could win and wrap up 3rd spot on the ladder, see if Barry Hall could get the 5 goals he needed to tie for the lead in the race for the Coleman Medal and most important of all if we could get though the match injury free.
Safe to say that we managed to deliver two of the three, thanks to the self-less performance of best on ground Barry Hall who put team glory in front of personal prizes. He could of got to 5 goals quite easy, but he decided early on that he didn't want that Medal and allowed Nick Davis and others in the forward line to feast upon the Hawks weak efforts (clearly they were saving themselves up for Mad Monday tomorrow).
Clearly not much needs to be said about the match other than we won, played well in getting our best score for the season and got though with only Willo suffering a minor leg injury that won't be a problem going into Friday Night.
All in all a good day and a good result.
SYDNEY SWANS: 20.9 (129)
HAWTHORN: 11.9 (75)
Goals: Davis 4 Hall 3 O'Keefe, Goodes 2 Fosdike, Schneider, O'Loughlin, Ablett, Ball, Crouch, Kirk, Buchanan, Vogels 1.
Best Swan on Ground: Big Bad Self-less Barry Hall.
