Game Day 2024 Round 22 Swans v. Collingwood 9th August 7:40 PM @ SCG

[swanssince2002]

Pretty much hung on for dear life after we got the lead, couldn't extend it at all. Made it to HT just on time there

 

[Dale One]

showed some fight blocking for each other

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Kicked the first three goals within 5 mins and done nothing since. Feels ya up with confidence

 

[ashep]

Adams right up there.

Fair, but at least he's not pissing about on the goal line

 

[Bloods86]

Based on the first half, the below are tracking towards the following disposal numbers.

Lloyd - 14
Fox - 6 (remember his 2022 GF...)
Florent - 8
Jordan - 6
Gulden - 12

Thats a lot of rebounders / ball movers doing f all. Roberts seems to be taking all of Lloyd's previous possessions and is starting to consistently rack up 20-39.

Fox has been average, needs to stop being thrown around. But since when is he a prime ball mover?

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Just win by a point boys. PLEASE!

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Reads the flight of the ball really well back there and uses it well too. I like it

If he could just add some mongrel to how he goes about it, he would be so much better. Has the weapons, just lacking a bit of intent at this stage of his career. He's the sort of guy I'd be stoked to have mu daughter bring home as opposed to a Papley for example

McDonald and Fox to change positions.

Sheldrick for Warner next week please

 

[troyjones2525]

I really don't know what is going to happen after half time... can we somehow find some of the 2nd half form we used to have and blow them away? Or will we capitulate under pressure and get blown away ourselves? I have no bloody idea at this point!

I don't want to jinx it but Nathan Williamson has been pretty anonymous for the Pies tonight.

Warner is looking close to breaking out. You can tell he's trying to do the team thing and take the quick handball option but it's not quite working for him.

Could bust this game open.

 

[SSwans2011]

McDonald and Fox to change positions.

McDonald has been good in defence. Just sub Fox off for Cleary. Don't think McDonald will fix our forward woes.

Sheldrick for Warner next week please

Nah, just play him as a half forward. As shit as he's been, he's too good to drop.

 

[Dale One]

Andrew Dunkley says hold my beer

both of them bleed red and white

 

[KingV23]

I dont mind McDonald as a backman. Perhaps a pre season in defence will do wonders for him. I reckon he will be better as a Key Defender than up forward. We need a Key Forward though.

Warner has no plan B. Crash and bash fend. Has been sussed by many teams now!!

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Hopefully we can channel our second half power from weeks ago.

With a couple of weeks rest and 2 days off training this week , surely we’ll steam home…surely !?!

Why are we subbing Fox off over Mills (looked gassed halfway through the 2nd), or Fumbles Florent?

Nothing "surely" about us.

I'd rather we find a 2nd rate forward and turn them into a defender. Don't think there are many key forwards out there looking for a new home.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Has Mills done anything today?

 

[KingV23]

Why are we subbing Fox off over Mills (looked gassed halfway through the 2nd), or Fumbles Florent?

He looked injured. He kept grabbing his lower back. Perhaps thats why

Jonathon Brown: “are the Swans winning a flag with McLean and Armatey as key forwards?”

It was a rhetorical question.

 

[RUNVS]

That was too easy for Collingwood.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Ball will stay in our defence now for 20 mins ^_^

Brisbane won the flag with him barely contributing anything.
