Bradshaw, McGlynn thrill Roos
Sydney Swans coach Paul Roos is smiling after fine performances from recruits Daniel Bradshaw and Ben McGlynn
Bradshaw kicked four goals and took seven marks in an ominous performance that showed he was beginning to click into gear in the Swans forward line.
"He's looking really dangerous. There were a couple of marks he dropped, but he kicked a couple of crucial goals and he's starting to really look like the player we want him to be," Roos said.
As good as Bradshaw was it was hard to go past yet another recruit in Ben McGlynn for best on ground and once again Roos was impressed.
"Yeah he was really good again," Roos said.
"He had 31 possessions and eight shots at goal, which is a really good effort to back up from last week. I thought it would be a tough night for him, because they have break out games and get tagged and someone jumps all over him, so for him to do what he did again tonight was a really good effort."
As impressed as Roos was with his new recruits it truly was a team performance from the Swans in what could have been a difficult game.
It has been no secret the Tigers have been struggling of late and getting motivation for those games can be difficult but the Swans excelled, even though Roos praised the Tigers.
"We have had a couple of really tough weeks and mentally it can be challenging playing against teams that are young and a bit unpredictable and they're obviously a bit under the pump as well. They have some good young players and they are going to get better and better," he said.
"They deserve some credit; at half time you've only kicked one goal it can be tough, so I would say they certainly got something out of the game."
In winning the match the Swans also came through unscathed. Defender Jarred Moore rolled his ankle but appeared to be fine afterwards.
"I think he is ok, he rolled his ankle but he came back on and hopefully he should be right for next week," Roos said.
