Oh great. Grundy and Parker wearing sunglasses.

The sun is out !

 

[SM]

Okay all the players wearing sunglasses.

Is it sunny?

Hope the forwards turning up last week wasn't their usual cameo. Need them to impact tomorrow because the mids will be blanketed.

 

[Jeffers]

I know they say they’ve matured a lot since 2022 to put in a much much better performance and not get overawed tomorrow I just hope for their sake and our sakes that comes to fruition.

Most likely my pre game jitters and anxiety because I really really want to believe them but anything other than a win tomorrow will re embed my trust in them on the biggest stage after 3 heartbreaks in a row.

Well here we are. All week been suppressing my excitement partly because of previous experiences and partly because I don’t want to act like I’m 12 again.

But it’s here now. I’m genuinely excited for what this team can do and I know that it mightn’t mean anything but what a team to have started the season as they did and made it into the big dance.

I can see a huge cheer coming from the red and white tomorrow

Yep massively excited here. No point feeding negative emotion and anxiety because it'll be over before we know it, and one way or another, the build up and anticipation in a lot of ways is the best bit.

Want a big game from Parker, has been crap the last few GFs - if he's going then leave us with one final great memory.

Is it sunny?

There's a superstition that the team that wears sunglasses loses.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Sunny in Mortlake thank ****. I’ve had enough of the rain

 

[CCurnow3votes]

All the best Swannies!

I suspect your dynamic midfield and manic team defence will win the day.

It should be a cracking game in conditions well suited to the invaders from the north

 

[Nuggetz]

Sounds like fox sub due to his versatility

 

[TasSixer]

I don't envy Johnson and Lynchy trying to keep up with the cars while also asking questions

Sydney has warm weather ! but thanks

Seems like they’re carrying a number of injury clouds into the game. Bodes well for us.

We need to get someone into their hotel kitchen Friday night and put a little bit of salmonella into their dinner.
Wouldn't that be sad.

There's a superstition for everything lol.

 

[bedford]

Angus Sheldrick in the sprint , we haven't had a winner since Jarrod Crouch in 2002

 

[bloodsbigot]

Funny how there was outcry for Katy Perry singing Roar when swans get Up There Cazaly every year.

 

[RampeRobe]

Seems to be a lot of red and white there watching the parade.. anyone there can confirm we are the overwhelming majority?

 

[swanssince2002]

Sydney Morning Herald pumping Swans articles all week...

Wow this is how it must feel being a Blues supporter every week in the media lol

 

[Ticky009]

 

[TasSixer]

Dane let go of the cup first NOOO

 

[Troystenvic]

We didn't have our hand on the cup last. lucky I'm not superstitious

 

[bloodsbigot]

Ramps will lift the cup.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Dane let go of the cup first NOOO

FFS

 

[bloodsbigot]

Announcers saying there's more Brisbane support. Looks like there's more Swans support for me. Maybe that's just how it comes across on TV since the red stands out so much.
