1PF, 2014, Sydney 19.22 (136) d North Melbourne 9.11 (65) at ANZ Stadium
Game notes:
The last game of the round could also be one of the most interesting. North Melbourne and Sydney entered round seven with a combined one win from 12 chances this year, but recorded respective emphatic wins over Adelaide and the Brisbane Lions. Only the Swans’ rich recent history has stopped pundits completely writing them off, but they must defeat the Roos if they expect to mount a finals run. The two sides rode key forwards (Lance Franklin and Jarrad Waite) to victory last week, but only Sydney can expect a repeat performance, with Waite out again through suspension. That leaves the responsibility back on Ben Brown, who has proven up to the task. How well Ben Cunnington, Jack Ziebell, Shaun Higgins and co. stack up with the Josh Kennedy, Luke Parker and Dan Hannebery-led Swans onball brigade will be crucial to the result.

Of course Newman is playing, I traded him for Bont on Friday!
I swear, this year someone found a Supercoach doll somewhere that bears a vague resemblance to me, and they’re sticking tiny little needles in it every weekend.
Newman had better outscore Berry… knowing my luck, he’ll score exactly one point before doing an ACL!
I’m loopholing Berry too. Think alot will be in this situation. Just think about the money $$
Happy that Newman’s back to earn some cash but annoyed it’s at Florent’s expense.
Take Stewart’s 46 or roll the dice on EVW?
Well there goes lairds 124 sitting on the bench
This is why you don’t leave players like Laird on the bench.
I didn’t want to give you a thumbs up for your misfortune, or a thumbs down to make you feel bad… So you can have a sad face 🙁
Can I ask what in the blue hell laird was doing on your bench in the first place? Hahaha
Newman on 44 at Qtr time!!!
Not paying attention. I have myself to blame. However I have Newman who is on 40 odd before qu time. Will keep fingers crossed
At that rate he will outscore Laird’s 124 and you will look brilliant haha. Hes more then halfway onto beating marchbanks score for me so I cant complain
Brillant move now bobo haha
NEWMAN.
I traded him for Berry.
Feel like I just lost my wallet.
JPK seems back on track.

Newman!!
don’t be fooled, Horse still doesn’t rate him….
Newman’s brilliance is great for my SuperCoach side, but an absolute disaster for my Fantasy side, where he’s sitting on the bench, with Melican’s magnificent 0-points-to-half-time score sitting at D6.
If Taylor Adams hadn’t threatened to be a late out, I would have left Newman on the field, but that would have required me to select two emergencies (one for Adams, one for Newman), and I didn’t want to risk only needing one.
Hopefully Melican can stay on 0 DT points so I can get Stewart’s score, but realistically I suspect he’s going to go and get a single-digit score in the second half.
Unfortunately even if he does get 0, you will cop it as he played. The emergencies only cover a player who doesn’t play.
Bugger… I was under the impression that it counted a 0 as the same thing.
I wish I’d never heard about Taylor Adams’ hand!
It did until the 0 point scenario occurred, then they amended it.
10 DT points to 3-quarter-time. My ranking is going to take a pounding because of this.

JPK repaying my faith in him but Buddy needs a big 2nd half or I will regret him over Heeney.
Yeah. Made same choice. Same mistake.
Still buddy’s there for the duration now.
Now i know how Jerry Seinfeld felt.
How Marsh gets a run before Newman, or Hayward gets a run before Towers is a total mystery to me.
Such decisions explain Sydney’s start to the year.
I think Longmire focuses a lot (maybe too much) on errors that players make. Newman has racked up the possessions, but also given away two goals from really basic errors.
I think Horse will really remember the two goals when he picks the team for next week – although I hope not, because the Swans are a better team with Newman there!
