LFG!

 

[The King!]

Let's just get it done with a good start.

Swans by 40 .

Adams BOG

Bangers and mash for me with Kath’s superb mushroom & onion gravy!

 

[Jeffers]

Let’s fix up our starts for finals. Get the systems right and tune up properly for the real shit in 2 weeks.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Never been to a swans exhibition match before. Can’t wait !

Any late outs yet lol ?

 

[Ticky009]

if anyone thinks the Crows aren't going to come out breathing fire you're mistaken. It's already obvious to one and all that our first quarters are up for the taking.

Couple that with the double of them losing the Showdown last week and last year's final game and they have multiple points to prove.

Agree they have been busting in every week lately, they also can't go lower anyway, so they want to win games.

Nicks record look better with a win.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Wouldn't it be good to get to quarter time and be up by 4 or 5 goals? One can only dream I guess...........

 

[Dk007]

If heeney or gulden gets injured we are done for the season. I don't understand why we didn't rest blokes when we got the minor premiership

 

[Mister B]

Because you don’t want to go into a prelim with your main players having played 1 game in 5 weeks.

Meh, Crows are a club in crisis & their season is over.

Their coach is on borrowed time, they’ve dropped one of their most talented players for having personality, their midfield is full of crabs & their most damaging player is out.

I’m expecting effort in Q1, quickly fading to “how goods an offseason without Collective Minds?!”

 

[SwansProudly]

Saturday night footy at the SCG for the final match of the home and away season!

 

[The Mares Leg]

If I offended anyone earlier with my post about adolescents and Brian Taylor getting ‘excited’ - I apologise.

For what its worth, it was prompted by the hysterical behaviour of two teenage lads in the crowd last night.

These two were seriously carrying on like young girls at a boy band concert - all because Daicos went near the fence to take a kick.

I’m talking about holding hands on the heart, OMG face-palming and mock fainting - I mean what late adolescent male behaves like that?

On top of that was Taylor’s vomittous gushing about said player pushed me to the brink - I had to vent.

Apologies once again if I was too ‘candid’ and failed to join the dots.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

My last game for 3 weeks so let’s have a win lol

 

[Tedeski]

If heeney or gulden gets injured we are done for the season. I don't understand why we didn't rest blokes when we got the minor premiership

We've shown softness already this second half of the season.
Go hard or go home.
Soft teams don't win premierships

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Because you don’t want to go into a prelim with your main players having played 1 game in 5 weeks.

I have no issue with anyone playing as long as they don't have any injuries.

That's why I'm more worried about Grundy and Hayward playing, both who look clearly busted then anyone else.

 

[Kbroome]

Nicks is surely on his last legs if they loose another game. Half their premier plays are on the wrong side of 30 and they have no youth especially in the ruck department so their list is also in tatters whilst being at the bottom of the ladder

 

[Bloods86]

Yeah. You don't rest/drop players this week unless it's needed (though I would have shuffled Corey for Gus).

So I'm hoping we have 2 late outs with Ladhams and Fox in for Grundy and Hayward. Adams can be sub.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

I wanna see a first-1/2-of-season-like blitz from start to finish & wave goodbye to the 2024 lid for good!

Swans by 40

Maybe they drop off if we at least challenge them in the first half. But rushing Walker back for an away game, in the final round, no finals, says to me they want to get one back on us.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

‘Hang on to your hats’ is the advice for any fans in the vicinity of Crouch tonight.

JHWF, looking out for your safety since 2024.

 

[Kbroome]

First half blitz to get up by 50 and then rest the ageing stars would hopefully be the plan
