Preview Elimination Final - Sydney Swans vs GWS, 3:20pm, Saturday August 29 @ UTAS, Launceston

If they are bringing in Bell, means there is no vote of confidence in Reid regaining his form. Time probably up here

 

[Punts]

Play McLean deep

No buddy to much

 

[Punts]

Campbell isn’t ready

Fox should be starting 22

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

I wonder if just maybe the role that Bell plays is of benefit to the team.

 

[ScrewInStuds]

Tell Bell to spend the first quarter and a half hitting Ward any time he goes within 5 metres of the ball. Would go a long way towards us winning.

Fantastic to see The Chad back in and no risk on Mills.

Absolutely, the lessons of 2016 have been learnt

? Don't think you can relate those two things

It's a pretty substantial railing to get over, and then a pretty substantial drop onto the pitch. Pretty much impossible for any kind of tsunami of people type situation, not without some really, really horrific scenes.

Shame the old Subiaco Oval is no longer. I recall Mickey O was perfectly able to have a little catch-up with a few Weagles fans.

Bell?? Seriously we are starting 1 player down with Bell in the team.

You cant watch that clip too many times

This reminded me of Buster Keaton

One of my favourite films.

people too reliant at looking at numbers on a sheet post game to judge performances.

 

[Kapers]

One thing I can never hate about Bell is his commitment. Don't know how he played in reserves, but I imagine he must've had a decent game to get the call-up.

I have a feeling that Longmire is expecting a very physical game, and if that is the case I would want Bell in ahead of Campbell.

Also, looks like Fox may be our fix it up man, dedicated sub.

 

[Bloods86]

GWS will come out very physical, don't mind Bell in. Tackles hard and happy to throw his body around.

He's certainly capable of doing that, but in his last month of footy (4 games), he got 6 tackles in total. Hopefully he can reproduce a few of his earlier games. If he runs hard, provides pressure and gets physical, he'll earn his spot. I'm not overly confident though.

And yes I watched all of the games, I checked stats to see if there was something I was missing.

Teams dropped & immediately GWS firmed from $2.30 to $2.05.

I'm very confident in our midfield. A midfield group of Parker backed by Hewett, Rowbottom and Warner will deadset cause GWS more headaches than a midfield of Parker backed by Mills and Kennedy. They want it to be a scrappy contested game as that is where they have the edge on us. We will make it an open game that is too quick for them.

 

[swanssince2002]

I do expect some sort of scuffle before the bounce of the ball as it is a final. A bit of push and shove to start it off.

They were just checking each other's tonsils, what's the big deal?

Look at GWS’s midfield it’s their strength. We aren’t close with Mills and Kennedy out.

Gil can get F..ked. Did he take a pay cut like the rest of the players? His salary and half his cronies About 6-8 (and this is legit) are on $2m+. Where in international sport does the administrators earn more than the best players? Gil salary should be linked t(and not in the vicinity) of average top 10 players salary.

Try looking at the NFL where the chairman makes about $40m per year

First bounce will see Mumford's knee planted firmly in Hickey's thigh.

Third bounce will see ...... well, you get the drift.

Bell?? Seriously we are starting 1 player down with Bell in the team.

He is the best runner in the club, and suits the huge ground. Likely to have a job on Whitfield.

On their ins and Mills out makes sense

Let's be honest, we aren't that close with those guys in and them at full strength. At least this way, when we lose the clearances, we have a more dynamic midfield to react to turnovers and use the ball better when we do have it.

Yes but they are a midfield that gets the better of ours when we run with a slower, heavier and more flat-footed midfield group. Recent match-ups (round 18, the derby last year in Perth) show they struggle when we go with a lighter, more dynamic midfield.

Against most teams I would not back our midfield in minus JPK and Mills. Against this mob, I think it plays to our advantage.
