Game Day North vs Sydney (Round 18)

[Roo202]

Did you see a Flying Kangaroo drift in for a landing?

Plenty, they really need to do something about that red and white tail colours though!

 

[Caracas]

If both teams play well, the Swans will definitely win - due to their maturity and home ground advantage.

If the Swans are not on the ball and we bring the pressure, we’re in this up to our necks.

If we don’t bring the pressure - it’ll be ugly.

Win this and the confidence will continue to grow and pay dividends, Nth by 1 pt, Arch Rising star nom

 

[andana]

Fisher in instead of vfl would have been handy.

[Amicalola]

Anything could happen today. Could be bloody magnificent, could be dogshit. More excited than nervous, but mostly just hoping to see the contested efforts continue.

Yeah, this one could go anywhere between "North are rudely awakened from their dream month" to "miracle upset win - Sydney in major trouble."

Edit: LMac is named at half-forward for some reason?

Love the stats but them being blue and north red really throws me off haha

 

[Rooniversity]

All pressure is on the Swans, they'll be peeved after two losses and then Heeney out - hope we stick to what we've been good at lately and make them earn every possession etc.

Sorry to be a wet blanket here, but after 5 pretty good weeks, which should have yielded 4 wins rather than 2, coming up against the flag favourite, who have lost 2 on the trot, and are playing on their home ground, I think we will be a bit off the boil and Sydney will win reasonably comfortably.

I fervently hope that by a touch after 4 pm today, everyone on this board piles it on me saying

YOU WERE WRONG, HORACE.

 

[danj]

Was always a possibility, could see it a mile away, no way Parker plays in the twos even though he hasn't played for six weeks, just surprised that they left it so late, a tactical ploy no doubt.

It’s good you weren’t caught off guard and can implement your contingency plan

Talk about an each way bet

 

[shinboner magic]

So Parker and Mills straight back in not playing any AFL this year. Swans seem desperate, this might work in our favour. Out are 2 quick players, in 2 underdone not so quick players.

One will be sub

 

[danj]

Smaller ground of the SCG is always interesting for a game

Yeah I expect we will avoiding going too wide, ping pong footy up the centre last team standing wins

 

[Shinboner '07]

Bringing back their big guns against us, they are scared

 

[Gasometer]

Plenty, they really need to do something about that red and white tail colours though!

When I first read the thread title, I initially missed the 'vs' and was wondering why someone would create a thread about the North Sydney Bears, a former NRL club that hasn't been around at the top level for around 25 years.


Personally, I think the Bears were only time Red and Black looked good on an Australian Football field.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

will be hard to beat the 26 the swans field today. Its going to be blatant they won’t hesitate to blow them.

 

[Passmore]

Looking forward to this and the next few games to be honest. Let's see how our game stacks up against the best now we're playing with a bit of confidence.

Swans probably trying to increase Parker's trade value to us!

Curtis (of the Taylor variety) is our sub.

 

[Harris 10]

Parker auditioning for a spot on our list, he’ll kick 4, we’ll pay overs and you all know it’s a massive chance to happen.

AFL have just confirmed the winner of todays game gets jimmy websters head on a spike!

My marriage celebrant was a Bears tragic. May have played for them at one stage. Was a Gallen, related to Paul.

 

[Samsquanch]

On the train approaching southern cross station. There don't seem to be many North Melbourne or even Swann's supporters in this carriage. I hope the roof is closed today.

So the dodgys are worried about our midfield, with the late change. Good signs
