Preview GWS vs Sydney Swans Saturday 5th August @Giants Stadium 7:30pm - How to backpack your way to Inner Western Sydney

[bloodsbigot]

I said it previously but out of Essendon, GWS, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Melbourne, GWS are the team I fear most. They have a chip on their shoulder and will sacrifice their season beating big brother.

Beating the swans is the only thing that keeps them semi-relevant.

Should be a cracker game

Cant wait to see Amartey vs Taylor. I reckon Amartey has Taylor covered if he gets a run and jump so delivery is crucial. Although we could definitely see Taylor intercepting every f50 entry if we long bomb.

Hayward usually does a good job on Nick Haynes

Kingsley is a good coach - he’ll take note in q4 against the Bonbers that lower penetrating balls trouble our defence. So our mids better step up and apply pressure

 

[Swansujelly]

We win this easily, 30 point minimum, GWS will drink their own bathwater this week

I guarantee it

Well that's a big lock, but I just don't trust that guy (The King). Anyone got a shoe-in?

 

[caesar88]

Not sure what else he would need to do to at least be sub

Be more than solid at VFL level maybe?

 

[Jeffers]

Arnold to debut if Rampe is out?
Do we stick with another Tall to replace Buddy? Either Hickey coming in and Mclean back to the forward line or Buller coming in?

I think Francis is more likely to come in if Rampe is ruled out.

Hickey makes sense as the Buddy replacement.

 

[BloodySwan]

Giants and Carlton are the in form teams right now. It's not going to be an easy one

 

[The King!]

yeah seems enough to be sub

Is lower penetrating balls the same as a player kicking it

The opposite of the high bomb so beloved of some of our midfielders.

JB THE RAT STARTING CHANGING IT FROM A KICK TO A BALL ! WOBLY BALLS , LOW BALLS , HIGH BALLS , IT'S A F ING KICK

Yeah in this weird (AKA poor) season, they are probably the closest thing to "in form".

Yeah, not a usage that troubles me greatly.

And as the old footballer used to say, the older one gets, the lower one’s balls get.

What about wobly balls . I just don't see the need to change what we call a kick , but wobly balls are always wobly balls , then there are meatballs

 

[kelpie_X]

Just put Stephens in there , he is doing what he has to in the 2's and look what he did this time last year

Stephens is gone. The club won't play him.

 

[sataris]

Hope Gohan puts on a show.

 

[bedford]

Where has he gone

 

[RubbaDuck]

Fear not. I've been using my Swannies egg cup for the last five weeks. I bought it in Morocco a few years back. I thought I'd lost it but it turned up in a pile of Where's Wally? books.

We've had our best form over the last 5 weeks. Coincidence? I think not!

 

[caesar88]

He isn't gone. He just shouldn't be played.

 

[caesar88]

As usual our defenders will have to save our bacon and have great games if we're any chance to win IMO.

So Toby to get 5 2nd half goals including the sealer?

No wonder you couldn't find it.

What's going on with Ladhams? Did he play in the VFL on the weekend?

We desperately need him back.
