Well We Lost....
But come on, did any of you expect any different??? I sure as hell didn't, yet I still made the trip out to Princess Park anyway and spent most of the time wishing I hadn't. In anycase it was good to see the Swans in action once again, but it sure wasn't good to see the lack of polish in their skills (must have Spriggs teaching them all) and we had three or four easy misses at goal from the likes of Hall, Goodes and O'Keefe.
Lucky then we took the game as another match to prepare slowly into the season.
I won't say much more as I spent to much time paying out on those players unlucky enough to be in our area, but the only quarter we seemed to take seriously was the second quarter when we kicked 6 goals to 2 and really put the Bombers to the sword. The rest of the game was the Swans playing at eith 80% capacity because of the heat (which was the case in the second half) or finding their way into football after the summer brake (which was the case in the first quarter).
Anyway personally I will say Hall is still as imposing as always, Nick Malceski and Jarrad Moore found their way around the ball alot and the senior players who did play lived up to their usual standards.
SYDNEY SWANS: 1.2 7.5 7.5 8.5 (53)
ESSENDON: 4.3 6.6 10.10 12.13 (85)
GOALS: Hall 3, O'Keefe 2, Mathews, Schneider, Kirk
BEST: Goodes, Mathews, Kirk, Hall, Buchanan, Malceski
CROWD: 2000
Adopt-a-Swan Update: Well McVeigh didn't play again because of injury and I barely noticed Nic Fosdike save for one contest in the forward line in the third quarter. As I said before I bearly had eyes on the game for most of it.
