Excuse the interruption but there is something just not right with that guy , so much talent but may be hiding an injury or something
He's a drama queen. Acts like he's injured constantly.
 
McAuliffe 26 disposals 4 marks 9 clearances 5 tackles. Backed up last weeks game with another all around game. Won contested footy and also ball in space and used it so well. Will be camped in Yzes office this week as he's no longer knocking on the door.
Smith 19 disposals 5 marks 1 clearance 1 tackle. Played an excellent game across HB. Calm and composed he knows when to defend and when to provide an option on the counter attack. Will get a chance soon enough.
Naismith 19 disposals 8 marks 3 clearances 4 tackles 18 hitouts 2 goals. Another strong game in the ruck. Had a good battle with Ladhams in the ruck and probably had the better of it. Threw his body into the contest and made the Swans players know he was around.
Coulthard 15 disposals 5 marks 3 clearances 1 tackle. After a quiet 1st quarter Coulthard sprung to life in the 2nd as the option we used to attack through. Provided some skill and pace on the ball and helped turn the tide our way. Building into the season nicely.
Green 13 disposals 6 marks 1 clearance 2 tackles 1 goal. Got an opportunity to run through the middle a bit more today and showed that he is capable of having an impact. Not afraid to put his head over it and often used it well when he won it. Hopefully he continues in that role.
Koschitzke 11 disposals 7 marks 3 tackles 0.2. Could have had a very good day up forward but for poor conversion. Led and marked strongly and when he couldn't mark he at least halved the contest. Needs to play at that level as a base moving forward.
Ryan 10 disposals 4 marks 2 clearances 3 tackles 17 hitouts 3.1. Got reward for effort today after a slowish start to the game he built into it. I mentioned in his thread that they may be trying to turn him into a forward/ruck and it certainly looked that way today. Like Koschitzke this needs to be his base moving forward.
Ralphsmith 7 disposals 1 mark 1 clearance 1 goal. Played the first half and worked well in combination with Smith across HB. Defended when he needed then pushed forward to hit the scoreboard. Has improved from what he showed last year.
Cumberland 6 disposals 2 tackles. Not Noah's day today as he was hampered by a thigh injury that limited his movement. Still it was good to see him stick it out rather than pulling the pin. Hopefully it's just a corkie that he can work through this week and get back out there next week.
