Preview 2024 Round 15 GWS Vs Sydney

[Brian Oblivion]

I might hang here as the Saints have the bye this week. I’ll go for the Swans.
My mum’s side of the family were South supporters and my dad’s side were Saints so its
not such a stretch for me.

 

[sataris]

I should explain my intrusion folks, in case peeps get the wrong idea.

For some reason over the past few weeks I get alerts in BF when a thread is posted on the Swans board.

Usually I just mark them as “read” but as I sorta knew Bonz I clicked on this.

I’m not trolling the Swans board, OK ? I come in peace.

You might be watching the Sydney board without meaning to! Here's how to fix it.

If you received an alert for this thread, but do not sub to the Sydney board at all, just click here to fix it: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/forums/sydney.29/watch Some glitch in the matrix made a lot of people sub to the Sydney board, I guess. 🤷‍♂️ You can manage all of your watched...

HOWEVER... we've spent over 2 pages talking about an opposition player. We are better than that, and by we, I mean our team.

I'd rather talk about Warner, McLean, Adams, Grundy, Heeney, McDonald, Cunningham, Rowbottom, Hayward, Papley, Florent, Wicks, Jordon, Gulden, Blakey, Rampe, McInerney, McCartin, Amartey, Melican or Lloyd tbh.

Especially the last one.

Sabre*

The correct choice is always sabre.

Personally think we should hand out board bans for anyone who suggests to fence Epeé or Foil.

Ticky009 please and thank you

i'm from an era when a foil meant something quite different

Yep, that Lloyd Rankin was quite a player.

Definitely the one we let get away.

Actually boxing

Out of one fire and into the other I guess.

Pls don’t do this, unless you want to wreck your brain.

Agree with GUH here - darts, archery or lawn bowls are a better choice and are skilful pursuits but far less dangerous.

We're talking PRESENT greats of the Swans, not past ones!

 

[KingV23]

I'd like to "break" his hair!!

Tom Papley is right up there as a punchable face the way he carries on after kicking a goal

I think Tom Papley clocks an extra KM on his GPS just from celebrating after kicking a goal.

 

[bedford]

8 to 17 light winds so probably dewy

Spoiler: We'd still win.

At least it is in English.

I am a fan of Toby. He is miles more likeable than Ginnipig, Maynard etc.

I have been examining your new avatar with great interest.

How did you persuade Craig Bird to dance around with Gulden, Warner and Heeney?

heck. You made some choice...

Pretty poor opening line from a mod. You want this board to resemble an arrogant shite show then keep going about it this way.

Pretty poor to think it's ok to blatantly say these things in a thread title.

Put what you want in the body of the post.

Just my 2c. I'll move on from here.

Not having a crack at Bonz but it been the vibe of the board for awhile.

 

[Nuggetz]

Would be funny if Mclean kicked 9 goals this week & then Logan kicks 9 v Freo.

McLean will be lucky to kick 9 for the rest of the season

 

[Nuggetz]

True. It'll be hard when Amartey is kicking 9 each week.

In all seriousness, Mclean being subbed off wasn't a good indication of the coaches thoughts on his performance. Maybe the bit of fire he needs to gain some form?

 

[NorthcoteDee]

Maynard ... did someone mention a baseball bat?

Daylight

Stringer

Papley

Rohan/Hawkins

Daicos ... x2 ... plus his stupid father who carries on like a total pork chop




For some reason I haven't hated Ginnevin since he left the filth.

I was kinda thinking the same thing.

Once you're on the sub merry-go-round, its hard to get off.

last game? That physicality (thuggery in some views) will be 10x more prevalent this game imo. They've bumbled along & they'll mark this derby as a kick-starter for their season.

I think it'll be one of the most physical derbies we've seen for a while...I hope we destroy them physically, mentally & emotionally.

If the title was the first time the concept of a "punchable face" was explored on this site, then yes I would have a problem with it. It's well-covered territory by this point. A quick search shows its been used on this board 17 times this year alone, and we're only at the halfway mark.

I think it is more a figure of speech than an incitement of violence, but to your credit, I know that respecting the opposition in thread titles is something you've been consistent on and have raised before.

 

[Brian Oblivion]

Feeling as though I should offer some reciprocity here. Swannies - can I call you that ? - are most cordially
invited to post in the Saints vs The Bye match thread I put up this week. If nothing else, it HAS a poll, so
please vote and vote often. We live in a democracy or so I’m told.

Preview - Round 15, 2024: St Kilda vs The Bye

How will we handle the week off ? How will the players and the club handle the week off ? Some ideas from Pete Seeger ……. A time to be born, a time to die ? A time to plant, a time to reap ? A time to kill, a time to heal ? A time to laugh, a time to weep ? A time to build up, a time to...

Nor are we Romper Room either. Some like it, some don't. We've already updated & changed more than a few Previews and other posts that crossed the line of BF rules and sensibility.

This is hardly over the top. I'm not a fan of it, but its hardly storming the gates of morality.
