The Papley hate is running amuck at the moment. Wouldn't love anything more then Papley to win best on ground to rub it in everyone's face.

Mick Malthouse tipped Brisbane

So did Montagna on First Crack...plus Ashcroft to win Norm Smith. Did Swans dump him in a past life?

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

His move to the backline condimented our defensive structure.



Ok, sorry, too far, I know.

I may be looking at it through Rosella coloured glasses but I didn’t mind it.

What threads?

I'm okay with Mills getting in as long as he/they test the bejeebuz out of the hammy.
Like McGlynn in 2012... came up sore on the Tues test and was omitted.

 

[BloodySwan]

I asked AI for the result

Swans 10.12 72 Brisbane 9.10 64

Mentions it will be a low scoring affair, however it states Mills as a possible fav for the Norm Smith....

that prelim defeat in 2005 where he was skating with schneider kicking goals is pretty hard to forgive and forget.

 

[bedford]

To be fair they played a full game on the MCG last Saturday exactly how much time do they need to get used to the ground? They have played there more than we have!

3 each

Unlikely, but how good would that be?! If so wouldn't be a captain with higher highs and lower lows within a year!

literally couldnt walk in 2012.

There will be a number of players playing injured (McInerney and Hayward looking at their knees, campbell, mcdonald and paley are all injured). McInerney was better this week but to my eyes was still hampered on the ground. The guy who was getting all the way from goal square to goal square wasnt there this week.

The real question is whether Mills is capable of running out the game and whether the next best option is better than what Millse can give carrying the injury. I thought in 2022 it was worth a shot because reid was structurally our most important player all year until they announced that mclean was to ruck for him. That should have been the signal that it wasnt worth it as it meant he wasnt going to be able to do the structural element necessary and horse shouldnt have played him. But who else was going to play on buddy in 2012 - LRT or Grundy. Neither would have worked. Ted gave his all even when noticeably hampered.

They'll have to make hard calls based on who else is available and what they can give you.

Where? (I've got my popcorn.)

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Geez, highly unproductive first day of the week!
95% of my limited brain capacity is locked out with thoughts of this weekend.

Weather has changed a little bit 22 and Northerly winds , so will be swirling

 

[bedford]

What is this negative crap and where do you find it

Pretty sure Ted was given injections so he could play through the pain. That won't be the case with Mills.

Plus, the point some of us are making is that the alternative (Fox) has arguably been better than Mills this year (though we didn't even bother in the Prelim), and has the added bonus of performing well in our last grand final, and against our opponents this year.

Hmmm not the best for our 50/50 set shot forwards

Might help.
In 12 it was southerly's and scoring at right of screen , be interesting weather it's going left

 

[Jeffers]

For people watching it at the SCG how bad is the viewing distance of the screen from the ladies stand?

You should be able to see the big screen to your left pretty well
