The social media team seems more active this year and to be having fun with what they're posting also

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

No idea what to expect.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Hope they have a bit of passion for this one after the not-20 from last year.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

No idea what to expect.

I feel like we saw last week that Sydney are good.

We looked great last week but it was kind of a praccy

I have no idea what's going to happen.

I'm excited

 

[MoggsCreek]

Most concerned about Heeney, I think if he gets going they will be hard to stop.

Like last week, definitely want to see Cameron and Hawkins hit the scoreboard early.

 

[Down at K Park]

Hope they have a bit of passion for this one after the not-20 from last year.

You mean the not 15 that was actually 22.5m? Ripped off.

Still can't get over the stupid umpire calling it off the boot before he'd even seen where the ball was going to drop. Disgraceful call.

 

[Maydok]

No idea what to expect.

Four dubious free kicks to Franklin.

 

[cat_fanatic]

Very interested to see how fit Duncan looks.

With a fit Duncan and next level Parfitt in the midfield, what appeared to be our biggest weakness suddenly looks pretty damn strong.

 

[you pick one]

Sydney not quite getting the rain that was predicted.Not sure that's good or bad.

 

[STPer18]

No idea what to expect.

Big win and no injuries will do me. Not asking for a lot.

 

[Chinacats]

Sterner test this week than the witches hats of last week. Swans have youth and speed to burn. I hope cats get it moving again and blast the contests. Give me chaos!

 

[Chinacats]

What are the expectations of Sav this week? Scott said he was dangerous last week............thoughts?

 

[Stan The Caddy]

If we get it in quickly enough Hawkins will have another big game.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Good for our forwards
Maybe less great for our defenders

Regardless the outcome will be determined by the mids

 

[Drunkcat]

Higgins rested as the S.C.G is not a ground for scaredy cats no place to hide on a small ground, the Swans have been good at jumping us, think it's our turn

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

It’s not really a ground for multiple big forward options is it? Esava stays in only because Stanley needs ruck support and Blicavs can’t be taken away from defence.
I’d be happy for Buddy to get his 4 goals as long as we win. But beyond getting the sun I want to see us continuing to play this improved game plan.

I’m surprised Cameron went to Sydney but now he’s there he is surely playing. He’ll be very important, perhaps he doesn’t need to fly at every pack.
Some quality players starting to come through in the vfl tomorrow so should be competition for spots.

When was the last time the Swans got a real jump on us?

Last year as led them 6.5 41 to 2.1 13 at quarter time - would think we got the jump on them

Otherwise, most recent matches have been within 1 or 2 goals either way at quarter time

 

[you pick one]

Four dubious free kicks to Franklin.

I just changed my tip on the strength of that, the theater of Buddy reaching the milestone at the SCG v Dogs next week at Marvel could easily see that materialise.

5 touches unstoppable.

 

[calder_daddy]

Currently waiting to board my flight, mate is already there and has confirmed no rain so far and sun is out.
Hopefully that continues.

 

[My Tilly]

Be interesting to see what becomes of us when a team actually decides to turn up and apply just an inkling of pressure. We were exposed in the finals last year when good sides hunted us and Sydney's a premiership contender who will hunt us from the opening bounce.

Be a good test but if Swans want to be finishing top four this year, these are the games they should win.

For Esava it's all about getting to the right positions and providing a contest. I thought he did that pretty well last week. It's not an easy role when you have other dominant key forwards in the team. And the criticism of lack of possessions doesn't make much sense to me. We want the ball in the hands of Stewart, Duncan, Hawkins, Smith - those types, not Esava.
