Preview 2024 Round 13: Swans v Cats (a fast preview's a good preview)

[Donza]

It will still be pretty... just a bit wet and blurry...

Nah. This time next weekend looks mint.

 

[The King!]

Im ready to watch now

There are websites for those fetishes

I reckon we’re all gonna be absolutely frustrated with this new holding the ball interpretation next week

Again this might make me sound dumb, but I don't really understand the whole "game in hand" thing. Like yeah we have an extra game but it's useless until we actually win it isn't it?

Yep we have to win first

I think HTB, not 15 are going to murder us

Media bang on about the bye (even though every team has them) but I worry about lost momentum

I would usually agree, but we were pretty poor against the Bulldogs IMO. Quite a few looked like they needed the bye.

Yeah true

I guess even our worst we find a way this year, even the shitty loss , we should have pinched it.

Just in the back of the mind you wait for the bubble to burst, because right now we are clearly the best.

Long way to go

It is just an extra opportunity to push home an advantage.

I would prefer to be 6 points up with a game in hand than just 6 points up

Correct its like an 8 point game

 

[MR0808]

Explaining to miss 3yo that we had a bye and still on top with a 6 point buffer and a massive percentage, I got a huge cheer, and then asked but why?

 

[The King!]

our next 2 after the cats are too tough away games, so win here is vital

I'm wondering at what point we start getting an easy draw? Really don't get it, we've supposedly had the toughest draw to this point, just played 5th-8th in the last 6 weeks, played three top 8 sides (at the time) in the first three weeks. Now we've got another 2 top 8 sides in the next few weeks. Like WTF?

And we in 3 weeks time we will have played 6 games at home and 8 away

And have not lost a game to any team in the 8

But can it help us eventually further our lead on the others (if we keep winning)?

Sorry I feel like I'm a pretty capable person until it comes to making sense of the ladder and then my brain turns to absolute mush

 

[bedford]

Nah. This time next weekend looks mint.

Medium chance of showers and 0 to 5 mil

Certainly can.

Just usual formular of keep winning

 

[Tippett2Goal]

The bye round results couldn't really have been much better for us, now we need to capitalise to lock in that top 2 spot

Ok.

I’m just grateful we definitely don’t have to play the top side on the ladder at any point in the next few weeks

We have not lost a game to any team in the top 16
