Preview Sydney v GWS-

[The King!]

People on here write great previews, thats not really my style, GWS are a pointless pile of crap, but they always fire up to play us, I don't know what to make of this Swans side, surely we can win, heck knows.

If you looking for an analysis for this game or key match ups, move along, the Swans wasted my Saturday night with no effort so why should I bother.

Instead here is a recipe for continental layer cake difficult to make, used to have it at my grandmothers as a boy, turns out she always purchased it pre made.
You can keep it in the freezer, its nice cold

Swans by enough to make us feel like we have a chance v the pies

 

[Punts]

Jmac needs a spell

Gws by 9 and that will end our season

Ladhams needs to go

 

[Troystenvic]

This will show what we are made of. Loss here and the blowtorch will be on John

 

[The King!]

Unlike September we have an immediate chance to respond and we have time to save the season etc

win the next 2 and it's back on

 

[Jeffers]

Beyond hopefully getting Rampe and T mccartin back, I’m curious to know what changes Horse will make.

It's tough making big calls on the back of a hiding where the entire team was poor, especially when we're still in an injury crisis.

However, I'd love to see Sheldrick back in the side and given a chance to fast track his development. We seem to be in need of his skillset.

 

[Punts]

Following week will show more as infrint of 70k pies at G and redemption for last year

Win against gws won’t be the change

I think we will have more chance against the Pies as our backline injuries don’t hurt as much against their keys and their mids aren’t as big. I just don’t think we match up well against Geelong across the park.

 

[Jimbo OZ]

I’d like to see McInerney and Campbell swap positions. Get Juz more involved with some run from half back and test Campbell on the wing with his kicking into the 50.

 

[Punts]

Jmac need to move higher

He best was running forward

Was visiting the scoreboard to

Atm he is average af

More concerned big game atG and the crowd

Get embarrassed again and will be in the shit

 

[BloodySwan]

So many players need to lift, no point in singling out just a few.

Hopefully Tom and Rampe are back from injury. Hickey is close as well. Get those 3 in and we should start to have some structure again

Hickey is a massive upgrade imo. Can actually tap to advantage and can use the football around the ground.

 

[Kapers]

I might take up paint watching. Is more fulfilling at the moment.

 

[bedford]

Thanks your highness for a proper title

 

[Glenn_]

Conversely a win here , and the sack horse malarkey stops for at least a week.

 

[strauchanie59]

In: whoever shows any ounce of heart in the VFL

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

VFL is barebones there is literally nobody we can bring in.

Gonna go with unchanged.

 

[SSwans2011]

NFI who is available, but Cunningham has to go. He was a very reliable defender for a number of years, but I'm not actually sure what assets he's getting selected for anymore.

We'll beat GWS comfortably, but will most likely lose to Collingwood. It still won't be the end of the world. We're probably not a top 4 side this season, but we should have enough to easily make the 8. Probably finish on 13-10 or 14-9.

 

[caesar88]

Early days in the reserves, but Sheldrick for Roberts is a no-brainer.

Stephens, McInerney, McLean, Francis, Gould probably sweating on the fitness and form of those not in the side.

Horse will be fuming (though I admit he also needs to reevaluate what he and his coaches are doing.)

 

[Cadsky]

Confidence is shot. If it's not already it will be after we lose the next 2 games

 

[The King!]

Hickey and Ladhams will both play I guess, Mclean offers nothing.

 

[mcs095]

Hickey was just okay in reserves but played most of the game.

Hickey for Mclean.

Sheldrick fought hard and was best on the park by some distance. If Roberts is out, bring him in and give him another chance.

Ample players deserve to be dropped after that shitfest last night, but we have nothing in the cupboard. Hopefully we can get a couple of talls back - Rample and Tom Mc would be nice.

 

[Donza]

Will be wet.

Have nothing else to offer.
