[momentbymoment]

there are no elephants near me

guess that means there are no elephants anywhere

No.
The elephant is (always) in the room.

Except perhaps Shrodinger‘s elephant

It would be nice to just win the f out of this game.
Beat them like we beat Richmond.
by 3/4 time ....

Then we can all enjoy the salty tears on the next ‘Why why why the Swans academy‘ thread.

geez. can you imagine.

 

[Mister B]

Geez there's teamwork from our two new mods.

Ticky009 opens a gameday thread and a minute later SwansProudly closes the preview thread.

Impressive work, but just to let you know if it becomes a constant well it may just seem a little creepy.

And I like the tall option (although admittedly not the most mobile three we'll ever have up there).

Important that we engage and spread the Melbourne tall defenders to stop Lever/May intercepting/going 3rd man up.

For it to work it needs the ball carriers to take the best option and make sure any free player is identified.
May in particular can be a bit slack and zone off.
Smalls also need to step up and improve their I50 pressure/tackling.

Midfield the key and I do subscribe to the view that the Melbourne onballers can be a bit lazy running defensively.

Our defence looks good.

Really looking forward to the game and I do like our chances.

Have you ever seen them in the same room at the same time?

I hope we can backup our performance at the G against Richmond. Playing well there will go a long way for the next time we make a GF. Have more confidence in the game plan succeeding at the most important ground

Give Pickett no room to move in the forward line, and I don't think they'll be super dangerous up forward.

Fox in gives Rampe and Dawson to rebound off back 50, with McCartin and Fox taking their two big forwards.

Lets go Swans!!

 

[Mister B]

I'm hoping the game is out of Melbourne's reach by half time. I am on strict instructions to minimise the use of my voice..... I'm not very good at this at the football.

 

[momentbymoment]

geez. can you imagine.

I can actually.
It will be the same sad tales we have been hearing after every significant win since Heeney was drafted.

The dees are pretty excited with themselves at the moment, Trak signing a huge 7 gear deal, Salem signing a 5 year deal. Would love to burst their bubble!

I think we are too tall too.

Do you think we are two too tall too?

pretty dark over the g. rain coming. but going to be super light.

 

[mikey_san]

Blakey was ordinary you are dead right.

Even so - his pace coming in during the second half could crack something open for us. I see him as a bit of a potential impact sub compared to others that may have had more well rounded games. He'll certainly be keen to put his best performance in - lets hope that translates to great play rather than silly bravado his body isn't equipped for.

Hickey taps to Warner who clears the pack to kick the winning goal.

We could make those deals look very long tonight!

Warner

He will be our next star player in the next two years.

 

[SGBeach]

He will be our next star player in the next two years.

Yep.. Warners looking good.. He was near the top of the agility testing in the combine. Shows with his quick feet. Love his strength and his toughness (no fear) and his competetivness.. All very good traits for an exciting inside mid

So you are hoping Petracca goes full Grundy?

 

[mattpolo8]

Warner's last game on the G was his rising star nom game. I genuinely think he will be an MCG specialist. A big game specialist.

 

[mattpolo8]

also. weather watch. there were a few spots about 30 mins ago. thats now dried up and i think thats all that was forecasted. maybe a little around 5 but its going to be dry.

Huge game for our season tonight

 

[Superstar swan]

Hopefully we can get through without injuries tonight. Season beginning to get serious and we need all the cattle we can
