Preview Round 13 The Sydney Swans vs. The Carlton Blues

[SM]

Well we're undefeated away from home, and undefeated when we've kicked a goal in the second, so we SHOULD get home.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Like your thoughts there Stats, but I think it could be wishful thinking, but if we get up, I'll buy you a beer though one day.

 

[RUNVS]

RUNVS, way to harsh to call them lazy. They're working their arses off but being torched at times by a very quick, talented and able football team in Carlton. We dragged back the momentum in that quarter.

It isn't just this week either. Commentators bang on about our amazing contested possession numbers but they forget that our uncontested possessions are very low compared to almost all other AFL teams. That tells me the Swans are not working hard enough to find space.

 

[Danair]

One positive, Hanners is all class! Seems to be getting his best form from last year back.

 

[Danair]

Cometti "Betts and Garlett have been quiet, that could be a problem for Sydney"

You can't make this up!

 

[bloodsbigot]

Well Reid ####ed that one up.

 

[bloodsbigot]

The swans are screwing it up royally here.

It's almost as if they don't want to score.

 

[longhorse]

shit! 2 goals gone begging already!

 

[Tedeski]

Here's where we are losing it.

Seaby 2 possessions.
Mumford 4 possessions.

Kruezer 16 possessions.
Hampson 8 possessions.

Judd hasn't had his usual 1 good quarter against us yet!

 

[BarneyBent]

Reid panicked there. Showing his inexperience.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Tadgh has been getting plenty of it, but he's made so many horrible errors, giving the ball away on so many occasions. Tadgh gave that goal away.

 

[BarneyBent]

Kennelly has been a mixed bag today. The commentators are focusing on his mistakes, but he's done some fantastic things as well. That was horrible though.

 

[longhorse]

Ahh! Kennelly! sub him off

 

[bloodsbigot]

I hate hearing Bruce get excited, because whenever he does, you just know it's bad news for the swans.

 

[BarneyBent]

Reid is so exciting to watch, based on what he should be like soon, but god damn he can break your heart at times.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Bleepity bleep bleep bleep. (Swear censor machine)

 

[barry fu]

A FV<KEN Bloods Bath!!!

 

[kingbet22]

is the ball slippery because sydney has been fumbling a hell of a lot...

 

[longhorse]

This is shit! Carlton are not winning it, we are losing it

 

[BarneyBent]

Jesus christ.

Put Johnson on Walker. Please.

I reckon it's fine, it's Sydney panicking trying to get it forward and the pressure from the blues is just too much causing our ball handling to fall dramatically.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Carlton doesn't seem to be.

We're just playing pathetically. We haven't capitalized on opportunities.

 

[Danair]

Not looking forward to Collingwood next week.

 

[bloodsbigot]

LOL. Bruce just admits wanting to barrack for Carlton (3rd quarter 3:21). What a joke he is.

You know, some people (Mainly Melbourne and Richmond supporters), claim Bruce is bias because he's barracking for the underdog. How can you possibly justify his bias in this match?

 

[barry fu]

Pity the poor slobs sitting in the stands suffering this from that.
