“Offensively and def they are just humming at the moment … they could be a team that make a little run.” Statistics show that in the past month, Sydney are ranked 1st in the AFL for scores against per entry inside 50 and 3rd for scores per entry. The Swans are currently sitting in 10th spot on the AFL ladder – just half win outside the top eight.​

Wow that age demographic is interesting as hell when was the last time GCS went into the game with a more experienced team

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Bloods by 37.

C'mon you Swannies!

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Heeney to light up the SCG.

You heard it here first folks.

The walking mummy!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

We will miss Campbell this week.

I hope Roberts gets plenty of mid time and wins some clearances.

Swans by 20.

 

[MR0808]

Swans by 15 to make next week extremely interesting

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

Swans by 39.

I’m so happy Stephens finally gets a game. I obviously don’t know what goes on behind the scenes, but I think he’s been treated more harshly than he deserves. Should have played a lot more this season.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Let's get the job done

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Looks like Clarke will be the sub

 

[Bloods86]

Looks like Clarke will be the sub

He'll hope Atkins needs a tag late, or we might not use the sub again.

 

[The King!]

Only if he gets a job in the light tower

 

[The King!]

I have a bad feeling

so probably means a comfortable win, just seems like the type to piss away

 

[Millky95]

Happy 50th game to big McLean. Well deserved

4 points and no injuries please

 

[Jeffers]

Just bloody win farkin

 

[Olian]

Beautiful winters day.
Just need to keep winning and today won’t be easy.
Suns are playing decently in the last few weeks, knocked over Brisbane and played three competitive quarters against the Crows.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Best time for footy wish every game was Saturday afternoon.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

A win means top 8 after this round.

What could go wrong?

We could be 5th after this weekend. Although I've just ensured we won't be.

 

[caesar88]

I don't have trust in this team yet but I do have faith in them.

It's great until you have kids.

Such a versatile term. Will it be a case of:

Piss it in
Piss weak
Piss it away
Piss it up (post game at least)
Pissed off
A piss-take by the umps

All will be revealed.

 

[caesar88]

I'm bracing for another midfield belting. I think it's why I find this iteration of the Swans so stressful as opposed to the 2012-2017 Swans. Back then you knew that pretty much every week, JPK, Hanners & co would get the game on our terms from the middle. The stresses back then were like will we be too Buddy-centric or will we have the pace to go with this side etc.

This Swans team it's just "is our midfield gonna concede 45 million inside 50s today" and then every time we get a goal, being instantly stressed rather than happy cause it means going back to the centre. Rinse and repeat. Constant stress!

 

[swanssince2002]

I will just assume we will lose the centre clearance but find a way to get ourselves out from defence and get in transition to score the goal every week now.
