ANALYSIS: The good, the bad and the ugly of AFL round two
The warning bells are ringing in Sydney after round two, as the Swans went down to the Crows at home.
So far, it's not looking great. The Crows have always liked playing Sydney at the SCG, but they always seemed to have the answers. Ex-Sun Tom Lynch led the line with three goals, but it was never going to be enough against Collingwood. With defender Dylan Grimes facing a week off for a head-high bump, and the Tigers lacking confidence, Damien Hardwick's men could easily be 0-3 after they play the Giants next weekend.
But late in the fourth quarter against the Bulldogs, he gave away a crucial free that resulted in the opposition taking the lead.
