Preview Round 7 2017 - Sydney Swans V Brisbane Lions, SCG

[Eons]

Hallucinations! Thats not good.

That's the best kind of drugs.

 

[Paul Mac]

Surely Rich plays more midfield this week considering we are at SCG. Bomb them from 60 or when he kicks out can bomb them to the centre. That would be something different hey.
Paparone cant play deep in our back line. Previously have watched him be isolated by opposition teams a few times last year and cant match it in last line of defence. Give him a crack on the wing and see what happens. Surely Walker deserves a crack this week. Who has the tank to run with Buddy. Do we say to Belly you run with him if he pushes outside the 50. Mcstay takes him when inside 50. Surely on the smaller ground Mcstay or our other defenders won't be left isolated one on one?????? like in previous weeks.
Who can guess what will happen this week.

 

[Eons]

He on the verge of a break-out?

Don't know what his skin condition is like sorry.

 

[POBT]

WTF is going on with Berry being named as Ruck-Rover? Is he any good? He's def/mid in supercoach so has flexibility. He on the verge of a break-out?

SuperCoach thread.

Yes, he's our best rover. You should buy him and make him captain.

Put him captain

 

[briztoon]

Finished me up
Granted management of them has improved since my time, but every time I tried to sprint or kick it would just go again

Just have to look what it did to Justin Hodges career.

 

[T Factor]

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned Keays should get a run through midfield. We've basically got 4 midfielders playing the in the forward line.

I would have thought Barrett up forward and we see Keays play through the middle, the small ground in Sydney will suit him as well.

 

[TheSierBear]

Yes, he's our best rover. You should buy him and make him captain.

Hope he's better than Dayne Beams he's been a real disappointment to my supercoach team this year.

 

[briztoon]

I would have thought Barrett up forward and we see Keays play through the middle, the small ground in Sydney will suit him as well.

That was my first thought.

 

[Billy Puller]

I reckon Keays gets more midfield minutes this week. He is basically Dayne Beams

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Thought Matho had been back for 2. It's the week to play mature bodies/hard arses, can see the kids getting bashed by Parker/Kennedy/Grundy etc. Bell should play midfield and be as much like Mitch Robbo as possible if he wants a game for the rest of the year.

 

[Billy Puller]

I don't think I've seen Lewy do a twirl once this year. Improving week in week out, I reckon he's gonna explode. Forgot how young he is

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

I have just had a look through the teams and come to the decision that we are not completely out of this game. It might be like last year where Franklin destroyed us in the first quarter, and despite two occasions in the last quarter where our defunct Red head beat him man-on-man, Franklin kicked crucial goals every time Sydney needed them.

Remember Essendon is no longer our comfort blanket so our position has no sugar coating. Our list is revealed for what it is.

We should be competitive for long periods of this game.

A win away from home??

Not likely but let's see some encouraging signs.

I think we will win this one. I was with Billy Puller last night and after a period of contemplation, a cup of tea and some cookies, I heard voices and had a vision. (above)

Special herbal tea was it?

SCG ~1m shorter than the Gabba.

1 reserves game two weeks ago and limited minutes, too.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

The problem is most of them will get brushed off the contest by bigger bodies.

Probably why they have gone for Barrett - not a bull but pretty hard at it.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Keays has been getting midfield minutes.

And Berry last week and McCluggage a brief stint or two across his games. Just enough to give others a brief cut out.

 

[SizeMatters]

SCG ~1m shorter than the Gabba.

Wasn't aware of that. Thought the Gabba was a fair bit longer.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Wasn't aware of that. Thought the Gabba was a fair bit longer.

Sydney oval was extended in both directions during the most recent renovations at either end.

[lions27]

Our on field 18 and N .Robbo isn't to bad, The remaining 6 does not Instill a lot of confidence.

I disagree. CBeams was good last week, and apparent from that handball, good the week before. Walker has apparently been in very good form in NEAFL and was pretty good last year. Harwood occasionally plays well. NRobbo plays with heart.

Now, after that, I worry...
Bell: if he gets a game he'll have to really step up. Maybe he went Fagan and nominated himself as capable of stepping up with DBeams out.
Close: okay last week. Thinks he is JBrown. Unfortunately, not young dynamic jumping JBrown, more getting older, slower, less jumping JBrown. Clayton, well I'll be confused if he gets a game.

Hopefully: CBeams, Walker, NRobbo
Then Id accept either Harwood or Bell.
Not: Close, Clayton.

This season is starting to grate a bit.
