Just gotta get through the day so I can head down to Marvel! Swans by 21

 

[Jeffers]

Time to give the loyal and passionate Melbourne Bloods fans a win in the flesh this year. (Whoops forgot about the Norf Game)

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Gee it's quiet round here these days. Has a neutron bomb gone off? (Guess if it has, I might not get an answer.) I don't have anything to add because, really, I don't know jack shit about football, but I sure enjoy reading other people's perspectives.

 

[Ticky009]

Say what you will about our games against the Bombers but they are never dull. Another win on the board will do us nicely lads, don't let me down.

Just a neuron bomb for me (hungover).

If our form continues to build, we should win this. They're in a slump, Ridley out is pretty big, and although he's been off, no Stringer rules out him suddenly rediscovering his mojo.

We'll get smacked in the ruck again, but we did in the corresponding game last year and still got it forward more. Need to do better than 12.14 vs 15.5 though. Chad had a night out in that one, hopefully better for the run last week. Would like Buddy to terrorise the Dons again for the last time.

Swans by 30 in a dank night for Bomber fans. I may even get out of bed by the bounce (which will undoubtedly have to be recalled).

 

[Dangas]

Let's go Bloods. Great sunny day here in Melbourne so let's get this done lads on such a glorious day here.

 

[MR0808]

Our first quarter last year was amazing, just our shots in front of goal were terrible. If we can improve our shots but play like last year, it's ours

 

[wills2g]

If Bombers try their crap uncontested marking game like they did last week against the Dogs, we will win comfortably.

If they decide to go straight and use their speed, itll be a much closer game.

We need to keep Mills on the wing and blanket Nic Martin. He is probably the next best winger behind Josh Daicos

and Errol in the comp and does everything for the Bombers - defence and attack.

Swans by 16 and finals hopes are alive

I'm going to the game, first one in a couple of years. Probably the last time I'll see the great Dyson Heppel take the field.

Just win… and not by a kick after the siren. Actually that would be good just for the but not for the heart.

 

[The King!]

Umpires are going to screw us

Swans by 102 will piss it in

Interestingly we won the free kick count against them last year, both home and away. With Stevic at home, Gianfagna away.

 

[Millky95]

Hope those that can go enjoy Buddy's last Melbourne game

I swear our backs are so weak wrong turn on a angle bending down to pick up something can result in days of pain and discomfort.

 

[robbieando]

Umpires finding new ways to screw us indeed...
