Game Day Prelim: Swans v Pies, SCG Sat 4:45

[76woodenspooners]

If we’re the AFL darlings, someone forgot to tell the umps

Chris Scott salty in his presser after next week’s game, moaning about all the HTB and incorrect disposal calls against his team in the GF. “You can’t change the way the rules are interpreted for the final game of the year” he says, seething.

Bookmark it, and bring your popcorn.

I can’t understand how there is still a ‘Reid’ playing football. And being a threat! ‘Reids’ we’re not built to survive the rigours of AFL football, although (of course) the Sydney version keeps going.

I’m always shocked to see him out there.

Maybe it’s like the movie twins, we got Dani Devito, they got arnie

Alan Didak.
I think he epitomises the player who achieved at the highest level but had enormous fun doing it, especially on the field.

Didak was a cracking player, no doubt about that.

But I’d imagine that Jeff Browne waxing lyrical about his exploits as a bit player in Collingwood’s u19’s would be a more inspiring orator than Dids.

He is such a sour grump, and always on the defensive.

My sister-in-law lives near him in Geelong. She sees him at the supermarket, and says he looks the same as when he’s in the coach’s box - very intense and like he’s about to explode. He’s just buying groceries FFS.

Reports just in that Stevic is fuming that the French ref from the Bledisloe is now public enemy number 1. Expect him to bounce back strong tonight.

Easy to joke about this safe in the knowledge it won’t be your side copping it lol

I did giggle at Fly’s comment on 360 this week “I knew that if I made Chris Scott laugh then I was funny”

The 2016 grand final says hi. Reckon both teams should get to veto 1 umpire doing their match, Stevic would never ump the swans again lol.

Stevic has a pretty serious track record of breaking Sydney hearts. They're more worried about him than we are

we’ve avoided Rosebury, that’s something at least. Agree you guys were robbed v Geelong - terrible terrible bias that match.

 

[YouBeauty]

Stating the obvious but we need a good start so we can put them on the chase and get the crowd out early

Last thing we want is them 4-5 goals up in the first and chase tail all day

Good start us a must I say we don't win if we don't start well

I doubt he’d be umpiring the Pies based on 2022 form

I take it on face value that you understand the game Gimme

Having lived in Sydney for 30 years, Swans’ fans continue to impress me by enjoying the game untroubled by knowing most of its rules

Yes or true?

 

[Stoods]

Weird feelings this morning, I feel nervous but at the same time a sense of calmness, I really believe the boys are primed for this.

Give it everything pies! You never know when this opportunity will come again! Come on!

I think we will win tonight but what worries me is meeting Geelong again. I'm not sure if I have too many losing Grand Finals left in me. It started as an 8yo in 1970 and it's been hard to see all those losses. I have a funny feeling we can go all the way but it's not going to be easy. Anyway, what a year it's been and I am content with where we are at and what the next few years will bring. GO PIES

I was 6 in 1970 and have seen those GF losses too, but I still find it harder to lose a Prelim and wonder what if we’d won? I’d rather make it and take our chances next week than lose today.

I’m a bit younger (born in 80) and I feel the opposite. I barely remember Prelim losses but the GF ones have stayed with me forever.

I’d much rather lose tonight than next week

Collingwood need to kick lot Straighter for Goal Tomorrow to have any Chance vs Sydney but bad as last 2 Finals then we have no chance vs Sydney

 

[Forethought]

Brekky with the great man this morning. Can confirm he’s super relaxed. I suggested he have a 3 Goal brekky and his reply was I’m going for the 6 goal one.

That’s because you drink that cheap 2 buck chuck stuff that’s been aged with wood chips raked from the garden beds of the local dog park.

You need to spend good money if you’re going to drink wooded Chardonnay.

Here's a good one for not much money:

Go Pies!!! We've got this!!!

 

[hellfire]

I'm a lot more positive about our chances today than I was against them a few weeks ago. I think we're in much better form despite our streak at the time, and De Goey is the biggest inclusion we could ask for.
