Preview 2024 Round 16 Sydney v Fremantle (SCG) 1.45pm (AEST) Sat 29 June

[Millky95]

I wouldn't mind starting Warner in the forward line if he has another tag. It was effective against Toby Bedford imo.

Do Freo even tag?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Of course, if we win, Horse gets a reprieve

We Swans fans are nothing if not tolerant.

Imagine a scenario where Reid returns and has one good game in the twos. He is selected in the GF ahead of a healthy McLean and does not survive 10 minutes of the first quarter. Soft tissue injury.

Grundy is taken out by Maynard in the second. For good measure Amartey is taken out in a football accident by Moore. We lose by a point.

I would smuggle myself into the presser with my stick in one hand and my shillelagh in the other.

Horse terrifies me in GF week.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Ah you've stuffed us.

I'll have you know the swans have NEVER lost since I started following them.

If my cunning plan comes to fruition, we never will.

Well no Fox was enough for me to microwave my membership.

Although I probably didn't think it through quite as well as I might have.

 

[Crimson Azure]

I dont know. A couple weeks back we had a % of 150, then it dropped to 149 and now it's 148. We are going backwards.

I things continue like this by the end of the 2026 season we'll have a % of 100.

Probably best we just fold now.

Ridiculous, isn't it? I will meet you at the Dees board.

Good to give Cleary another go, but he will be sub is my guess. I also see the benefit of consistency for Campbell

Time for some hard-hitting toastie analysis.

We are so good that we are already discussing our plans and the teams plans for the GF!

Has almost always been fighting for a spot

Not going to change now

Cleary has a chance as that HFF with a mid size engine

So in 2026, we become Essendon

Feel like Fox outside of the back half of ‘22 has always only had one foot in the door with team selection through his career.

However, in ‘24 if Parker couldn’t break into the team then Fox will also have to bide his time.

Not a bad problem to have.

I believe that Cleary is being given a taste while Fox, Campbell and Roberts are getting full games.
Soon Cleary will be back in VFL, Fox and Roberts will be vying for the role in defence and Campbell and the loser will be vying for the sub.
Or Mills trumps both.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

The game at Optus featured Freo fans around me turning the same shade of purple as their jumpers - due to Fyfe constantly being caught HTB.

It was like a sea of angry Violet Beauregardes.

Here’s hoping for an encore.

Yep, having them turn into a pack of Violet Crumbles will be good to watch as a Swans fan.

I'm wondering if they're given Cleary the opportunity to get some experience in case things turn sour health wise for the team. Fox we already know will bring his best.

Good call , give him a full game and out Campbell to sub

I agree with this but also don't.

I really want Campbell to get consistent game time and for Horse to just stick with a role and level for him. But I also think it's somewhat inevitable that he'll get dropped, in which case he'll be back in the VFL anyway. So might as well just fast track that and give the opportunity to Cleary to see what he's made of and if he can be a factor later in the year.
