Preview 2024 Round 10 Sydney v Carlton (SCG) Friday 17th May 7.40pm (AEST)

[Arrr]

There are times when grammar matters especially, when it's supposed to be part of your professional freaking skillset.
Fox Sports suggesting that Swans were very under-sized last week:

In the context of the AFL grammar can make a massive difference eg. resign vs re-sign.
In general use it can save lives eg. let's eat, Grandma vs. let's eat Grandma.

Spurs have an interesting dilemma, if they beat ManCity, they will hand their arch London rivals, Arsenal, the premiership.

Or there

 

[Joycerama]

Agree.

I think if we can keep Rampe more 3rd tall it would be good though, think Francis will be better on one of the big boys and just stick to them.

Problem is that he can’t dispose of it if he gets it. Liability as goals will be kicked straight back over his head.

 

[Joycerama]

The defensive crumber role is almost a necessity in modern afl. Take Wicks out and put Parker in and we may get a couple of stoppage goals and a couple more marks inside 50, but we risk Carlton waltzing it out of their backline. Parker would be the slowest man on the field by a long shot if we put him in and our game style relies on speed. Hard choice for Longmire…

All good, we have differing views on this one

 

[Joycerama]

Cannot believe the weak as piss posts on this Board with the daunting task of facing Carlton Who the **** have they beat ?
Oh that’s right the juggernaut that is Melbourne ! Respect every opposition but fear them ? Carlton ? Please !

Happy to be in your “weak as piss” category, tough guy. I think their midfield and fwd line will put points on board. I think they’ll push us.

 

[momentbymoment]

Luke Parker isn't a defender which we desperately need right now. Francis isn't an interceptor like McCartin and he's not as good as reading the ball. I hope he proves me wrong. I hope he plays a blinder because that's what we'll need from him.

Francis had a pretty ordinary game last week but I’m hoping it was first game back nerves. He actually reads the ball well in the 2’s and is a great mark.

Time will tell.

 

[Kirkswan]

Geez what are you like when we play in the finals??

She's much less quiet about the freaking out!!! And we're all there with her...

That’s good. If the cap fits knock yourself out. Had you pencilled in so no need for the notification.

 

[Tedeski]

Don't call yourself dumb!

We don't agree sometimes on here but you aren't dumb, you are switched on and as you say you own a business etc.

I'm sure you didn't mean it seriously. But still!

When Punts writes his quotes for concreting, its the numbers that matter.

Man, this preview came so early, I keep looking for this week's preview thinking I've missed it

I’m going to be very unpopular for saying this:

But I don’t like this year’s Marn Grook range - to me, it looks like souvenir shop at the airport stuff.

Agree. Sort of thing you buy at Circular Quay.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

With their outs (Cerra season has been underrated) along with Pittonet and their drive from HB Saad.

If we get on top early and nail our chances it could be a early blowout if we turn up with the same intensity as we did in the Freo game.

 

[Donza]

Weather.
I'd take a jacket for a warm walk home.
Will be a gorgeous evening before a late blustery cold change.

Chance of dew. Minimal.

 

[zyzzbruh]

I have never been more confident about a game this year. Carlton completely lack any method or system in the way they move the ball up the ground, hence their shocking turnover numbers going both ways + poor scoring efficiency. And if any team is going to expose it it's the team who have by far and away the best system of the lot, us.

“Helping my uncle Jack off a horse” Vs “Helping my uncle jack off a horse”.

Unfortunately I could not use that one with a group of 9 year olds

Problem is it's shaped like this with different distances from the centre circle to the boundaries. In order to get the full "oval" dimensions & similar/even distances between centre circle & all boundaries they have to cut areas & make the distance between fences & boundaries irregular/uneven - ie: 1 x wing may have a couple more metres between fence & boundary line. Over the whole ground that may take for example another 3-4 metres from the total surface leaving the "playing section" at 145-150 metres which is why there's less room between the arcs & the centre square compared to the MCG etc.

I found this interesting. Anyone here know if this is similar for the AFL too? or know where we can find AFL boundary markings?

I don't like the handprints on the lower back, if the jersey is too long it looks like someone is clasping my ass lol.

 

[sataris]

I am so pleased to see that you're cutting back

Funny how we see things differently, is think it's the best we've ever had and I wished I hadn't forked out $85 for a heritage scarf the other week so that I could fork out $85 for the indigenous one this week.
And I absolutely love the handprints!

Why not? The questions would be hilarious

You haven't met Uncle Jack.

Or his horse...

Agree Jewels. This jumper is so much better than the former concoction of our Blood Red With Baby Blue or Powder Blue or whatever shade fashion aficionados like to call it.

Yeah this is my 2nd favourite Indigenous jumper behind the black swan

The black swan was beautiful. I'm with Wolfie, I hated the blue in the recent ones
