Who is the player trying to tackle Ollie?

Whoever it is - poor arm-grabby technique.

Delist.

Ollie been getting tips from Mr Miyagi.

Ollie been getting tips from Mr Miyagi.

I believe he was waxing off on that one.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Btw. Adams in the yellow vest. Does that suggest he's sub or out of the best 23?

. Nearly half their photo-taking resources exhausted on two out of our 45 players.

I get it. AFL media only know about five of our players.

Luckily we have our own media team. They will focus on lots of our other players and not just the ones the AFL media care abou- oh.






Well maybe our media team will spotlight some other players during the press conferences or player intervie- oh.

so freo played all of the top 4 outside Sydney in the last 3 weeks. my thoughts are that port are the most dangerous team over gws and geelong.

they were all similar margins. don't get me wrong gws can roll sydney. but they aren't a ferrari. they only beat freo by 2.5 goals with hogan going nuclear. (10 shots on goal, 6 goals). Brent daniels having an all time game. i think he had a player rating of 30 or something ridiculous.

geelong seemed to be slightly more polished, better team defence and patrick dangerfield had an awesome last quarter. however, i think they don't have the midfield talent. justa super professional club which allows you to get more consistent results. which in a season allows you to more likely achieve top 4. but struggle to win a premiership.

port seem to have figured out their team defence and i think freo threw everything at them and couldn't get it done. however, we were outmatched in the midfield talent wise once hayden young got injured and darcy wasn't playing. i think its underrated how deep port midfield is. drew, butters, rozee, JHF, sweet, wines, boak,..etc.

i think sydney are better than the rest of the top 4. simply because i believe if freo had treacy, darcy, healthy cox, pearce we win 2/3 games.

I agree that Sydney are the best of the 4. and 8 too..

Finals week, how good! As the young kids or Ladhams would say...'Eshayz'

I am sure if we lose Rowbottom or Campbell etc can front the media

If the Swans bigfooty board had press conferences, social media and open training I suppose I would have to be out there doing all the pics and autographs while you lesser lights do nothing

If training is involved, I'd be the guy dry retching on his haunches behind the point post, screaming at the media team that I don't have a favourite colour and to leave me alone.

No strapping for jmac either

Hope a good sign regarding knee injury

I would be out there with a stopwatch timing all the run throughs.

I’d be full of smiles and high 5s for the fast guys and dirty looks for the loafers.

You can’t like everyone, only fast players.

 

[caesar88]

I think the changes will be:

IN - Heeney, McCartin, Papley, McInerney

OUT - Fox, Francis, Cleary, Lloyd

 

[Punts]

Really are no excuses to flake it and not go all the

Best 22 injury free

You'd be the hype man behind the camera when interviews are being conducted.

Horse would be like "It's obviously going to be a tough game, we are going to have to really stick to what we know best and what works for us," and then we'd hear you in the background, muffled like the journos questions without mics at press conferences, "COME ON HORSE, CHEER UP, WE ARE GONNA PISS THIS IN"

 

[caesar88]

Your man Lloyd?

My man Lloyd.

I just think Horse will want as much of that speed and ball use in the forward 50 that Campbell brings as possible, even if Campbell's output individually is still questionable.

I think the way to keep that sort of player in is for it to be at the expense of one of the plethora of outside/flanker types we'll have in the team - Roberts, Florent, Jordon, McInerney, Lloyd.

McInerney aside, as he's just returning, out of those five I think Lloyd's form of late has been least in-disposable (not to say he's been poor - he'd be extremely stiff.)

I could be wrong of course. I think there have been much worse than Lloyd - Adams, Amartey to name a few. But Horse may find those guys' individual attributes more needed than Lloyd's outside run when we already have so many similar.

So Gulden's left-handed hey... explains everything.

Well I hope that the other three games being played this week that they belt the tripe out of each other (especially Dogs v Hawkes ) And we don’t let the Giants get ahead in the first qtr. when we won in 2005, we were beaten by west coast in the first week, and then the best qtr of finals footy EVER the next week in the Semi When Nick Davis came to save us against Geelong. The following week saints were giving it to us the last quarter and then we took control. We won that quarter (and then some) suddenly we were in the Granny. Let’s just hope the “fab 4” are on, and just bust a gut for the red and white. Horrors of the 3 past lost granny’s are forgotten about and rip em all a new one. Make the bloody Victorian media stand up and take notice.
