Game Day Rd 17 vs Sydney Swans

[Nuke Fremantle]

Tomorrow is a massive game now.

A win
-keeps us with in touch of the purples so we can pass them with a win in the derby.
-gives us a 3 game and percentage gap on 5th (Richmond).
-gives us a 2 game and percentage gap on Sydney.
-gets us a game up on Hawthorn two weeks before we play them.

A loss
-means my liver will be pounded by roughly 20 beers before a work day.

You live in Adelaide? You're better off with beer than the tap water.

Go see them next time they play GWS in NSW I guess. If I was an interstate fan I'd be willing to drive for a couple of hours too get a rare chance to watch my team.

I could. I don't know any giants fans though so it's hard finding someone to go to the game with.

i feel your pain. my time is spent in pubs in the inner east, as no pubs show it in the inner west, and west coast havent played for premiership points here in 2 years

Game day!!


We should win therefore Swans by 14 points.

I'm a Giants member and go to a few games a year and always make the Eagles game if I'm in town.

Also an inner west liver. You aren't the guy who lives in liechhardt who hangs his west coast scarf in the window?

Newman to star!

Any reason why betting on Kennedy first goal scorer has been suspended on sportsbet? Rumours etc?

They must have seen X Richards named. Bringing in a gun like that from our reserves, means they know he's going to pants Kennedy all day

Feels weird going into a WC game as underdogs. Back in 2005/2006 we had a good little rivalry going. Then you guys dropped off for a few years, and now you're back. Let's see if we can get a good little 2005 style rivalry going again. I'm sick of having rivalries against s****y Vic-based teams. Bring back the good old East vs West.

Swans... by 1.

GAME DAY BITCHEZZZZZZ!

(PS $100 cashback on first goalkicker on sportsbet if they kick one in the first qtr... JK @ $7 odd...)

effectively we have two debutants playing - odd game to pick

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I'm very nervous about this game. Sydney are still a fantastic team regardless of what happened last week and we are looking extra vulnerable down back. This could go down to the wire for me.

 

[Suma Magic]

Wouldn't it be awesome if Selwood played well?

That's my dream.

That and winning.

 

[DickDunn]

Pumped for today. I'm feeling confident about this one. JK and Darling to combine for eight.

Is Hill a confirmed out or something?

 

[WCEprod]

Is Hill a confirmed out or something?

Think he means X Richards and we as in football watchers

 

[Happy Mastenator]

4 hours to go. I'm ready for it to start already, not a fan of the late (eastern states time) Sunday arvo game, it's a long wait.

Only one of these is a pipe dream.

Very, very nervous heading into this game although strangely less nervous that before the Pies game. Interested to see a bit of Sydney as I never watch non-Eagles Sydney games (I have always found them an awfully boring team to watch - although this may be due to their old Roos-style congested footy - maybe they are more free flowing now?)

 

[BloodRet]

What are the conditions like peeps?

 

[Big Cox 88]

What are the conditions like peeps?

not a cloud in the sky, top of around 17

 

[W.C. Fry]

Its about as good as the weather gets in July. Suns out, a bit chilly but its just a perfect day. No chance of rain.

 

[BloodRet]

Cheers. I'd say good luck but nah, just hope there's no injuries for either side ahead of September.
