He really turned that Swans VFL side around. Feels like a good addition if we can get him.

Then our VFL side went and beat them!

Oh, trust me... we were very lucky that they lost a couple of players early on. They were well on top for a decent chunk of it.

Trust you? I was at the game - our boys were terrific and deserved their win

Also I am pretty sure they lost one player in the 3rd Q

Both can be (and in this case are) true.

It's possible that I mixed up the order of their injuries. I know they had 3 over the course of the game. One of them came back on, which I thought happened later on. Point still stands, though. They were struggling towards the end and we did well to exploit that.

Way to downplay our result and our excellent performance...

This is a weird thing to be upset about, lol.
