Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[The King!]

Can we chuck all the posters who seem to think we have 0 chance next week in a different thread this week?

Geez louise

cya later

 

[ScrewInStuds]

Either way. Can’t be 100% which is good for us because that guy destroys us when we play them.

Just said on abc radio it's only cramp

 

[Jack Lord]

Hinkley's celebrating like they've already won the premiership

That's a good sign. I reckon port played their GF tonight. They're not what you'd call finals specialists.

 

[Jeffers]

 

[Jack2Jack]

Know it's a prelim so sides should be switched on but many examples where often sides aren't for whatever reason (probably usually a bit of complacency somehow). Think drawing Port will be good for us, you'd think that match up should have us pretty mentally switched on to play well.

 

[Bloods86]

We haven't beaten Port since 2016 ???

5/8 in Adelaide. In Sydney, one was last year losing 2 KPDs in the first half while on top. Another was in our junk start to 2017.

 

[Ticky009]

By my "who beat who by how much makes us a better team game"

Swans last beat cats by 30
Cats last beat swans by 84
Port last beat swans by 112

Ergo, we win by 2.

Dammit - do NOT wish another close one on us - my heart can't take it.

This is a redemption finals series imo
1. 0-3 against GWS in finals
2. Haven't beat Port in 8 years
3. GWS 2.0/Geelong 2022 GF/ Brisbane (haven't beat them since 2021)

 

[TheGoatBaron]

3 finals have been played between the Power and the Hawks, all decided by 3 pts

Am I crazy for not really being impressed with this Port outfit even though they’ve won the past 38 games against us?

We’ve got them covered.

 

[Membling]

Dammit - do NOT wish another close one on us - my heart can't take it.

Just going by previous results logic

 

[Membling]

Uh oh, the Cats actually beat us by 81 which by that equation has us losing by 1 point.

Taking about in this season

 

[Ticky009]

Port just played their grand final. Lots of sore looking boys. JHF, Marshall, Georgiades don’t look great. Neither does Esava. Butters little impact.

Zero left in the tank.

No fairytale umping.

Couldn’t get a better outcome.

It's a Prelim - they'll find enough. But if we play to our best we have them covered. If.

 

[seysearles]

Think Port are broken so hopefully you bash the hell out of each other and they somehow scrape across the line

Your wish is our command. Good luck next week! Just PLEASE beat Geelong for us. This season will be ruined if that team manages to win the flag.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

BTW, the ‘wizard’ can piss off.
It’s disrespectful to Capper, the true & original (c) Wiz

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Foxtel showing the Chol “highlights package”.

Cruel.

 

[Dangas]

So...revenge next week or do we have mental demons?

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

And the purveyors of probability have framed a market for next week.

Swans $1.31
Port. $3.46

And in more news, we are now $2.50 for the flag, in from $3.25.

Smart money knows what we know.

JHWF - numbers man, per time racqueteer and eternal optimist.

JHWF - has always believed, do you ?

 

[ashep]

AHAHAHAHAHAH Port just played their GF. We will absolutely flog them.

 

[Mister B]

Trying to figure out if JHF is injured or not.

Certainly doesn’t look like a bloke that’s twanged a hammy.

Even if it was just cramp. He's going to be sore for a few days he was stunted that badly.

 

[GoodesStuff]

We lost to Collingwood every game between 2006 and the 2012 PF. What's your point?

Yep deadset, we are playing a team that got smashed by 15 goals a week ago who just scraped by tonight and look banged up and we are playing at our home deck on the SCG.

Could not hope for a better chance in a prelim final than that

 

[GoodesStuff]

For the mathematically minded - that means the bookies have us $1.90 for the GF if we make it.

Very much depends on who we play in the GF. We will be the shortest price against GWS though (compared to the other options of Bris or Geel).

 

[caesar88]

I reckon if it were reversed i'd be worried the opposition were due.

But again they don't start with bonus points next week.

Cmon at least wait til Friday next week to be nervous and negative

Unfortunately I now have that eery calm that comes from pessimism/realism.

If anything, I think I'll feel more positive/confident the closer we get to game time. Excitement tends to do that.

But I also think it's not on us supporters to try and find this manufactured belief or hope. It's up to our team to give us cause for that and in the fans' defence, the team's failed to do that every time for the last 8 years.

So... over to you, Swans players and coaches.

 

[Ticky009]

So...revenge next week or do we have mental demons?

Revenge is when you've been wronged. We went to the cliff and jumped all by ourselves in that game.

So its not revenge. Far from it.

Sicily has a face you’d like to slap.
