Round 2 – Swans vs Port Adelaide

The Swans had a win! And what a glorious win it was too! Though, they did let Port off the hook in the final quarter, as they are wont to do when they have a good lead! It was great to see players who are normally defenders score some goals. Barry Hall also kicked a bagful, though he doesn’t seem to have the confidence with the long kicks that he used to have… well it was either that or his was being team minded and trying to share the spoils around. Let me tell you, that never paid off. Almost all of the free kicks that he passed on to team mates were bungled and the goal scoring opportunity missed.

What I’d like to know is when did Adam Goodes supposedly strike someone? That was news to me when I heard it on the radio on Monday morning. Thankfully he was let off

There is one thing, not wholly connected to the game, that I’d like to complain about. The SCG member section has these strict dress codes that people sitting in the member section have to abide by. I am appalled at the inconsistencies in enforcing these rules. There were girls that had really short shorts when the dress regulations say that they have to be knee length. Also, there were heaps of people wearing thongs which are also a no no according to the regulations. If they aren’t going to be consistent they should do away with the rules altogether. It’s not fair that some people are refused entry while others wearing much worse clothes are allowed entry.

Final Score Swans 22:14:146 – defeated Port Adelaide 11:12:78
