Put some money on us winning by 40 at $10. We haven't had a bad game at subi in 5 years, they don't have a forward line while our best players are near their best footy. Only thing that will stop us winning comfortably is if we turn up and play like we did against Richmond.

In all my time on BF I don't think I've ever been so informed regarding the oppositions teams injuries, the quantity and nature of injuries, the effect on their gameplan and how it'll affect the game.
Yes, I really think we need to extent a warm thank you to all the West Coast fans for bringing us completely up to date on their list management issues.
It's fair to say, Mal is on trial in these next few crucial weeks. His spot is well & truly up for grabs with Armstrong breathing heavily down his neck. Efficient & creative running half backs are what break down the opposition's defensive zones.
Hit your targets & we score. Miss & it goes back over your head & they score.
Get it right Mal!!
Mal is quicker and has better disposal imo. It's because he is such a big risk taker taking the corridor nearly every time that results in a higher degree of difficulty for this targets. Which then comes across as him having poor disposal but I'd say it's more his decision making and putting himself under too much pressure which is the main issue.
Armstrong is a more straightforward player but Mal in form is certainly ahead of him for mine and definitely a best 22 pick. Teams never really have a best 22 because there are always the last 2-4 players which can be interchangeable. For example for us it would be Everitt, Armstrong, LRT/Pyke etc. Mal has become one of those but if he returns to his early season form/last week's form, then he'll rocket up the pecking order.

I agree with vonn. If the Eagles win this it will be one of the top 3 against-the-odds victories in the history of the AFL

Back in 2007 you played like a sack of spuds and the only reason the margin was 2 goals was because you kicked 5 goals in junk time

im in love with mals kicking ability, always have been.. i remember him putting it on micky o's chest lace out in the first quater of the 06 qualifying final.. his kicking has been a bit shit at times this year though!
Shit, quick, something happened in 2007, everyone change your opinion because that reflects so heavily on 2012
Pre emptive excuses for when we flog them

Read the post I was quoting.
Still has no bearing on today, the Swans of that era were pretty good at a comeback, as opposed to getting a quick start like now

Plus you're pretty accurate too.
10.0 against Bulldogs first quarter?
dont think ive seen a siller pre game thread on the Swans board before.
Now all the people bitching about the odds some news, The bookies hold on the Swans for the odds of 2.50 or 2.20 is apparantly very high and the odds if based on hold should be more 1.90 to 1.90.
For whatever reason it's the bookies rather than the market that is pushing the agenda on this market, The bookies are thinkning they can make some money on this game and not rating us, their prepared to ride the risk. So if your confidant take your bet, get some cash and make the bookies lose theirs.

9.0
Training run, I prefer the 7.1 against Essendon as a guide. Of course we can also grind out a win as we did with GWS and Brisbane

Sigh, in Perth, want to go but with my track record watching live footy....
Bookmarked.North supporters are tools
Although it's interesting that the Eagles supporter in question, nobody has ever heard of so her dealings with North supporters is largely unknown.I think it'll be a tough gig for the Swans, but if anyone can pull it off, they can.
Bookmarked.

So when we give respect to the opposition by saying its an even money game we get a bunch of west coast supporters coming on here to tell us that they have half a side and that we're raging favorites, yet when one of our supporters states that they're confident of a win we get west coast supporters coming on here to tell us that we're disrespectful and arrogant.
