Game Day QF1 Sydney Swans v. GWS 7 Sept 3:20 pm @ SCG

[GoTheSwannies]

I can't wait!! The early season swans are back

 

[the hypnotoad]

Woke up this morning for the first time in about 5 weeks without crippling anxiety. Hopefully a good omen for the Swans going well.

Everything is coming up Milhouse

never underestimate the milhouse factor

 

[the hypnotoad]

Unironically haven't been this confident going into a final since the 2016 granny. I expect the Giants to bring it in the first quarter but we will steadily pull away.

Swans by 38.

yeah, it's weird ... i'll feel more on edge at game time but i've felt pretty positive all week, i just think we're the best team in it ... i'd like to think we put our stamp on this early and dominate ... expecting grundy to be a part of that, and the midfield to thrive ...

Should I call it and say we will actually be on from the opening bounce?

Be my guest!

 

[caesar88]

I want manic pressure, unrelenting hardness, constant attack on the ball at ground level, tackles that stick, and defenders spoiling everything.

Anyone who doesn't abide by these must-haves in favour of trying to get easy possessions or highlights should cop an almighty spray from Horse.

This has to be a 23-man, team-wide pressure assault on the orange corporation.

 

[Dwayne Trampford]

Call me a coward but I would honestly prefer to be lower half of the 8 with no expectation. In proper shut down mode right now

 

[Dangas]

Past history (for the Swans) of us being in the lower half of the 8 with no expectation has gotten us nowhere near a Grand Final appearance. I'd rather be in our current position.

 

[The King!]

Who do we think Toby Green will try and snipe in some dodgy way?

My moneys on Gulden. Chad would stick up for himself and Heeney is too big for him.

He is a matchwinner for them need to shut him down

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Ticky009, can I ask please request that Bonz does every preview in the finals ?

I believe we are currently undefeated when he previews.

Many thanks.

 

[Maddo11]

He is a matchwinner for them need to shut him down

Yes but he's also a grubby little campaigner who would belt his own grandmother if it got him ahead of the game

 

[Millky95]

Just win. No injuries. And everyone buying in. Trusting each other and working hard. Please

 

[kneecapper]

flick me one?

Meet me in Bay 17, look for the guy doing handstands.

 

[The King!]

Yes but he's also a grubby little campaigner who would belt his own grandmother if it got him ahead of the game

I dunno, I think he is just a good player.

 

[the hypnotoad]

I dunno, I think he is just a good player.

better than good ... arguably a dustin martin talisman type for the giants, so never to be underestimated in big games

 

[Dubai Quacker]

I suspect it’s just mischievous rumour - but Cleary for Armatey would make sense, given all Horse’s talk about the need to not let them run off half-back.

 

[Mister B]

Wow, just heard some bad news for some of our Melbourne members:

Virgin have cancelled an 08.30 MEL-SYD flight with zero explanation and no make-up flight There are over 180 passengers now stranded - many of whom are Swans fans

You can just imagine the frustration and/or anger. Fortunately, my mate and his kid managed to get transferred onto an international flight which had two spare seats. But for the rest - what a horror show.

Hoping the boys can get the win for those unfortunate souls.

Definitely wasn’t the 8.30. I was on it.

 

[fit 4 life]

We have been the best team all year, Please please don’t falter now, Go Swannies

 

[Mister B]

Yes, you are correct - it was a 7.00am flight due to arrive at 8.30.

Apologies for the confusion.

That will explain why I had a spare seat next to me 8 hours before my flight and didn’t this morning.

 

[Maddo11]

I suspect it’s just mischievous rumour - but Cleary for Armatey would make sense, given all Horse’s talk about the need to not let them run off half-back.

Can't see him going away from a 3 tall set up against a back line that has S Taylor in it. Need to make them all as accountable as possible

 

[The King!]

Looking forward to this battle

 

[Mister B]

If we are looking for omens. My flight went the long way round to land today meaning we might do the same. At the same time it didn’t go over Greater Western Sydney like it usually does so maybe that cancels it out.

 

[Jeffers]

Losing the last 3 grand finals will do that to the mental psych so I can understand. I feel the same as well this time of the year. But this year I want to feed the expectation and pressure.

 

[Ticky009]

Many thanks.

Might want to wait until this game finishes first

McCartin on Hogan is a no brainer. Both times we played he has limited Hogan to 3 goals in total.
