Game Day 2024 Round 10 Swans v Carlton @ SCG @ 7:40 PM

[Millky95]

We don't really play a contested game this year , just run them off their feet.

If they are winning too much though we will have to be applying a lot of pressure to kill them on turnover

Newman! (In my best Seinfeld voice)

 

[The King!]

I sure hope our number 1 contested player over the past 3 years has a good game!

I'd prefer the guy leading contested possies for us this year to have a good game. He gets more of them and has a significantly higher disposal efficiency

we just need to play our game , we have contested players but we want to be out and giving jakehiscoxwasfast a thrill

 

[The King!]

Good night game at the SCG think Papley might kick 3-4 tonight.

 

[dosser]

Are we there yet?

 

[Kbroome]

Just wanted to ask if anyone knew who JJ was stopping against the Hawks as if he did stop Weddle (12d) then that would be 4 successful tags in the last 4 weeks (Anderson, Weddle ?, Whitfield, Clark)

 

[MR0808]

Such an important game for a number of reasons, but be good to win and keep the SCG our fortress this year!

Yep winning every home game would be awesome

I mean we can't win every week so if it happens it's more about the response next week .

But 2 wins before the bye would just be massive to go in with a clear spot in first.

This also possibly pushes a contender out of the 8. Back the blues to get back in, they can win a flag imo , but nice to put the pressure on

 

[The King!]

Can we start now?

[The King!]

We tried an extra v North remember

 

[kneecapper]

Would love to bury these campaigners and shut the media up for a week.

 

[Nuggetz]

Quietly confident about this one. I'm usually nervous facing the blues but I wouldn't be surprised if we beat them by 30+

 

[Millky95]

Would love to bury these campaigners and shut the media up for a week.

That would involve them having to talk about us to begin with

 

[The King!]

Would love to bury these campaigners and shut the media up for a week.

The media would have to mention us to shut them up

 

[Syd]

Would love to bury these campaigners and shut the media up for a week.

We win VicMedia "Carlton had a brave loss with all their Injured Stars missing".

We lose VicMedia "Carlton confirm Premiership favourite status in dominant display over Swans in SCG Fortress".

 

[Donza]

Can we start now?

drinking? sure.

Carlton remind me a lot of Melbourne since they won their flag. I don't think they've ever looked like the best team in it, but they're the one team that's probably always a threat because of their weapons - those being a midfield capable of dominating, and power forwards that can be dangerous. You just never know what day/night they'll be on song and tear a game apart.

It's less system-based and more, "Look what our weapons can do."

We also have plenty of weapons - arguably more than Carlton - so if we bring our system then we should be able to reinforce why we are 1st and they are 8th.

Methinks this will be one of them games where if we win, we'll be in the autopsy thread talking about the non-glamorous stuff - our pressure, controlling of possession, tempo footy, negating roles, etc.

My hope is that the buffer we'll have on top spot - ie. we're not playing to stay there, it's ours either way - will mean the boys don't feel as much pressure and just turn up to play some bloody good footy.

Go Bloods.

 

[sataris]

So you're saying there's no way we can lose??

I'm saying that time is a flat toastie.

 

[Nuggetz]

This could be our flex on the league game

 

[caesar88]

If our main trio in the midfield of Grundy, Heeney & Rowbottom have big games, we should be the better side. In Opening Round those three had 47 contested possessions between them and were the keys in beating Melbourne, who are most like Carlton in their midfield profile.

 

[Swannie0307]

Will be top either way is nice, our best will win , but I rate the blues.

Swans by 4

* 4 goals

 

[wolftone57]

With a name like Giangagn

Simon Meredith (21), Andre Gianfagna (27)

Oh. Excellent.

With a name like Gianfagna he would have to be a member of the Carlton Crew lol

 

[Donza]

Cracker day in Sydney = Biggest H&A crowd SCG may be in danger. That being 44659 v Pies.

Might even beat the EF crowd vs Essendon . 46323
