Will turn out to be a good permanent replacement for Firrito.

Different type of player, I reckon.

So glad they dropped Thomas & Swallow. Their performances were shocking not just last week but for pretty much all season so far.

Although I am unsure replacing with Jed Anderson is a good call. Guess we'll find out tomorrow night.

Congrats must go to North for their win last night... although gee, they still don't look that convincing in close games :)

And what has happened to the Swans??!! Did not see that loss coming at all!

How good was Ablett, though?!

I concede he was great. Although I did not understand why he was being boo'd, it is common in sports.. hence I do not understand the hype regarding it either.  Such a shame that we cannot compare him to his teammates.... it was essentially a him vs north scenario, rather than team v team.

In terms of the game itself - It was great to see a win but I have to agree with howey as well.. it was not convincing and even Brad Scott in the post match said it wasn't the best performance.... so still more to be done. Nonetheless we've gone up a few spots on the ladder and left Sydney down there. We will get better with time and practice :)

My eyes lit up after Marley Williams got Ablett for holding the ball right outside our goal. That was great  ::)

Ablett was freakish, one of the better individual performances I've ever seen. Really needed some help though.

On the topic of him being booed - I can't understand it either, Aaron. It really is strange because usually there is some reason (however feeble) for the booing, such as a dirty act earlier in the game (or an earlier game), leaving a club or a controversial comment. With Ablett, though, there is none of that, so I can't quite wrap my head around it.
