It’ll p*ss down, we’ll p*ss it in,
certain posters will get pis*ed and I might enjoy a few pi*tachio nuts or even a pis*aladiere as I watch the pi*sed off GWS supporters p*ss off home.

P*: great start to the thread SwansProudly.

I like the games experience break down. Didnt know that before so we shouldnt really drop this game.

We certainly don't have slogs on muddy grounds these days, so if the heaven's do open, game style may be the most critical element rather than who has the bigger bodies in close in contest after contest.

Giants are the highest handballing team in the competition, averaging 20 more per game than us.
We are marginally ahead on kicks and marks.
We are 5th for tackles per game, they are 15th.
Basically square in terms of clearances, although they lead contested possession.
Level in intercepts, although we turn the ball over more.
For all the talk about their fwd pressure, only 1 I50 tackle per game more by GWS.

Not easy to change game style from round to round so with us being a more kicking, higher tackling team compared to the Giants who handball far more, I think wet weather will be to our advantage.

The old adage of making a contest in the air in the fwd line and at the least bring the ball to ground will be important.

Guy I'll be looking to make an imprint in this game is Brodie Grundy

is ahead).

Grundy for the 3 votes, Isaac may need to be content with just the 2 this week. Errol for the final vote (in the last 3 games v GWS, he's averaging 30 disposals, goal and a half, 7 I50s, 6 tackles and a somewhat slack 3 clearances).

And a win for the red and white.

 

[caesar88]

Deeply uncomfortable with the Game Day prefix being changed from red to green.

 

[momentbymoment]

Win this and I will become a believer.

We don't fly up for losses. Time to get the job done bloods.

Well... you're very pithy today, aren't you.

 

[Swannie0307]

For all the heavy rain predictions, my BOM says there’s a 50% chance of only 1mm of rain throughout the afternoon
But what does our expert Donza say?

That's pretty much what I wrote yesterday.
There are isolated heavy showers.
It's pure luck if they impact or not.

Should be up early

Big game, home game, need to win. Still not convinced Rampe in was right but hope he goes well.

A battle of light vs dark, good vs evil, Swans vs GWS. Perfect for Star Wars day. May the Fourth be with us!

 

[Donza]

Does GWS have a beer sponsor?

 

[The King!]

Sydney going with the star wars crap then on socials

 

[MR0808]

I'm packing and moving today, so can't watch but hopefully a good win to get me through a terrible thing to be doing

Most look to be hitting well after the game- most of the rain was yesterday

It’ll all be worth it once you’ve settled into the Bellevue Hill mansion.

Really hope conditions are .
