200,​

(hmm who have I missed?)​

now ...

Isaac Heeney's 200 game milestone

Dan Rampe's 250th game

Boys,
1. Pressure from the first bounce.
2. No long bombing to a forward pack

a. mids please short, chest high passes​

b. half-backs run and carry to mids, ditto mids​

c. forwards - spread, lead to the ball​

3. Hold those tackles


Bloods by 11 points
(May this be our 2nd last 2024 Game Day thread)

BRING THE THUNDER

#ProudlySydney #GoBloods #GoSwans #Bloods #SYD150

 

[RangaInTeal]

Good luck fellas, may you please wipe the slate with us. 12 Goals or more!

 

[RUNVS]

Victory or death.

 

[caesar88]

This finals shit is too stressful. We should just rebuild instead.

 

[hairy biker]

Feeling confident.

Much has been made about our record v Port, but in the last 6 years we have played them just the once at the SCG, with us falling about 5 centimetres short in that game.

We've been top of the ladder for months, we've had the week off and it seemed to me that emotionally (and perhaps physically) Port played their GF last week.

SCG crowd has been magnificent all year, bring the noise, players bring the poise and a trip awaits to the MCG next week.

 

[Nuggetz]

Lets flipping Go! Last home game for the year, bring the noise.

 

[KingV23]

Good luck fellas, may you please wipe the slate with us. 12 Goals or more!

Geez you are a weird mob. But agreed.

 

[Jeffers]

Gotta be in the contest and fight right at the start. Bring the heat early and consistently throughout the match and make good decisions when looking for options. Run Run Run.

Cmon Swans time to shine on the big stage!

 

[GotTheGoodes]

The Swannies will cut the power off & win by 37!

C'mon you mighty bloods!!

 

[Kirkswan]

Woohoo!!! Game day has finally arrived!!!

Excited, nervous... can't wait!

Swans by 3 or 30... either one is good for me!

SHAKE DOWN THAT THUNDER!!!

 

[Punts]

Nervous as about port

Seem to bully us most times and have the wood

If we give them any confidence we could be gone again imo from this mob

The contested ball numbers are what willl worry me and how the game plays out

Start well

 

[BloodySwan]

So excited for tonight's game. This is almost the best list we have and there is no one who should beat us. Bring our best and we absolutely spank them.

Wrap the game up by the 3rd quarter Swannies then put the queue in the rack

 

[Jack Lord]

Port may have a decent record against us but they also have a reputation for not showing up. They’re an up and down team. Maybe just once we can get them on a down day.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Geez you are a weird mob. But agreed.

Agreed

 

[Millky95]

Stressed as ****

 

[Bonz]

Good start, my flight isn't cancelled!

First final at the scg, excited!

 

[Olian]

Same result as every week just get the 4 points win.

 

[Swannie0307]

Nervous as hell!!!!

I was quietly confident until I saw who the umps are

Off the top of my head, can’t recall much about Stephens & Hosking, but FFS, Stevic and Deboy!!!!!

Adams not named as an emergency is a surprise (haven’t been on BF for a few days… is there more to this?) … anyway I’ve always liked Fox and happy he’s back… we can’t complain as we are very close to full strength at the right time of the year

Hope our boys bring the pressure for 4 quarters. Will be at the game with my son, super excited, and hopefully will get thru it without a heart attack

Swans by 21 (my favourite number )
️️️️️

Wrap the game up by the 3rd quarter Swannies then put the queue in the rack

“put the cue in the rack”…. NO, Horse did this in the last prelim and we just hung on by half a finger nail!!

 

[ElectricG]

All the best. If we lose tonight I hope you win the granny

 

[Edmund hunt]

Are the Hinckley out brigade on here now?

On SM-A515F using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

The sun will go down, the moon will come up, but long ago Sydney Swans left with the cup.

We’re going the distance, we’re going for speeeed.

Swans by 5 Isaac Heeneys.

I like fast players.

 

[The King!]

More pressure on us? we will be a massive fail if we lose here.

Nervous, Port are very good

Just get it done.

 

[BloodySwan]

“put the cue in the rack”…. NO, Horse did this in the last prelim and we just hung on by half a finger nail!!

We still won, I'll have it

 

[BloodySwan]

Absolutely beautiful day in Sydney. No clouds, very cool breeze, little bit of wind
