Preview Round 13 The Sydney Swans vs. The Carlton Blues

[Swans120]

Bone dry track under the roof suits to use of Jetta as the sub. Bring him on when the midfield is tiring and let him break lines and pump it forward. Later in games I think the way the ball comes into the forward line takes on less importance relative to just having it up forward.

What I mean is as the game wears on and players are tiring (especially in typically tight Swans games), quantity of inside 50's is more important than quality of inside 50's later in games.

Just thinking about it, does anyone find it odd Seven has broadcast both Swans-Blues matches this year? I always thought that the FTA networks could only broadcast one of the two match ups between teams in any given year?

 

[AG]

You think too much. Not odd at all.

 

[SM]

Only reason I thought about it was because, like I said, I thought the networks were only allowed to broadcast one matchup a year. I dunno, maybe that's just me.

No, contract only stipulates that all Collingwood games are blockbuster and must be shown on FTA and live every week

Lets stick it right up'em!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SM]

Don't understand why the roof is open!! Not happy!

 

[kingbet22]

Best start of a game all season i must say

 

[Swans120]

Great start but soft goal after Mummy dropped what he really should have taken.

 

[SM]

Great start but Blues are starting to click... holding Judd well though. Johnson making his first mistakes that I can recall with that dropped mark and then mis-kick.

 

[bloodsbigot]

God I wish Bruce McAvaney would retire.

 

[Danair]

I wish Kennelly would cut the Harlem Globetrotter crap!

 

[kingbet22]

i'm happy with that first quarter the blues were always going to get on top for a passage of play....bird doing a great job on judd

 

[Swans120]

Defence was awesome in the first half of that quarter but as Carlton got better and cleaner ball out of the middle their pace hurt us and made it very hard for our defenders to stop them. Dunno who's picking up Kruezer when he's not in the ruck but he's getting way too much space.

Goodes needs some time in the middle to try to stem the flow of Carlton ball. We can't waste him in the forward line all game. He hasn't looked bad but he needs more time around the ball.

Mummy looked off the pace a bit. Not surprising after a few weeks out. Seaby definitely was the more effective ruckman in the 1st.

Yarran cutting us up as well. Think McGlynn is on him.

God I wish Bruce McAvaney would retire.

tell me about it the whole thing is so bias towards carton it is sickening...so much flappin from bruce and co

 

[barry fu]

Quarter time came at the right time.
Get Goodes to the middle and release him FFS!!

 

[ROK_]

Disappointing end to the quarter, it's vital to get the first goal in this next quarter.

 

[Swans120]

LRT in the backline now it seems.

 

[SM]

Great pressure though, can't remember a game having so many smothers in one quarter from one team.

 

[barry fu]

We are getting ripped to bits on the flanks. Give Goodes back his licence pleaseeeeeeeee.

 

[bloodsbigot]

One of the commentators called McVeigh, 'Mc-a-vey.'

 

[GoTheSwannies]

We need to do something quickly or this could turn into a Hawthorn-like domination.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I love goalless quarters.

 

[BarneyBent]

Urgh. Goodes.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Why do we go into our shells like this for and go for a long time without scoring? I can not work it out.
