Preview Sydney v St Kilda (SCG) RD 13, 7:10pm Thursday 8 June 2023

wing is midfield is it not?
CBAs (your favourite stat - doesn't define if someone is playing in the midfield) .. now you're spouting stats in isolation to to prove your point!

My 'eye' has watched him in the mids a lot more in recent games

Apologies, I meant 'inside mids'

 

[caesar88]

Yes, don’t think he’ll be at CBAs, but against Carlton he spent time out on a wing / through half forward - and I sensed Horse had decided “It’s Time”.

I certainly like him up around the action and in attacking positions more. Just not sure he'll be in our inside rotations despite our outs in that regard.

You love mids

 

[Dubai Quacker]

If Sir Dane is back - a Rampe / Melican / Lizard / Florent / Lloyd / Francis back 6 actually stacks up OK.

All of a sudden, we have a robust defence again.

The lid could be coming off. Just a bit.

 

[anotherletdown]

Time to disinter Horace Rumpole.

Age specific that one. Half the board is thinking WTF is he on about. Well played 'young' man

Hates ours

 

[Donza]

weather looks fine for bounce.

Rain will push through earlier and be gone by 7pm.

Bud 350...seriously did not realise until yesterday.

Its very low key.
Plus one goal to kick.

*at his request.

Bud 350...seriously did not realise until yesterday.

Milestone games are like toasties, grand finals & The King! declaring “we’ll p*ss it in” all rolled into one.

Namely: bad karma.

Buddy knows it - which is why he’s refusing media interviews about it.

Bud debuted at the SCG, had his 100th, 200th and 300th against Saints. What a stat

As a matter of interest, any idea on results in those games?

100th - lost, and no goals for Buddy

200th - won, 9 goals to Buddy

300th - won, 4 goals to Buddy

 

[dosser]

It is difficult being so influential on swans performance

Ah, but have you had to place your leg back into a bear trap?

Your listening to SEN

 

[MR0808]

Your listening to SEN

I get 5 mins in the morning on the way home from school drop off when I can turn off Wiggles, Mary Poppins or whatever other crap my kids want to listen to

 

[dosser]

I tuned into SEN last week for the first time in ages. I listened for 5 minutes then switched to a podcast. It hasn't changed from when I used to listen to it many years ago and has the same format of hosts saying things that sound smart until you actually think about them and then callers seeking validation from the hosts. Eg.

Nuffie Caller 1: "I think Collingwood is really good. What do you think?"
Host: "Yes, I think Collingwood is good."
Nuffie Caller 2: "I think Essendon is really good. What do you think?"
Host: "Yes, I think Essendon is good. We'll be right back after this message from Sportsbet/BlueBet/Ladbrokes/etc."

 

[Jewelsbon]

100th - lost, and no goals for Buddy

200th - won, 9 goals to Buddy

300th - won, 4 goals to Buddy

Excellent, thank you for that info. So I extrapolate that to mean every time Buddy has a milestone game, the Swans win!

Then it's time to put the house on the game this weekend!

As our resident boards monarch says "We'll piss this in"!

After you tuned out you missed the next one speaking to Dwayne Russell.

"Hi Wayne.
How are are going? Sorry I shouldn't have asked you that......everyone asks you that............ sorry!

Anyway Wayne, oim 20 years old & oive been a Carlton supporter all my loife since our last premiership in 1995.
Back den we were da best team on & off da fild but now we are a rabull. The recruiting staff should be sakt, the coaches should be sakt, the players should be tradid. We have no game plan. The players, they don't know what to do. We shood get Fevola back to teach Harry how ta kick.
He is no good. We shood trade him to Gold Coast for Rowell because our midfild is no good. Cripps is slow. He is big. We shood put him in da forward line.
weitering is big too. We shood put him in da midfield to help out Cripps. Voss is no good. We shood get Longmire & Papley.

Voss has no game plan like Chris Scott. We shood get Scott to come with Danger.

What do ya think Wayne. How are you going Wayne? Sorry."

 

[Nuggetz]

7.10pm game is just about the perfect timing. No crazy late finish if you're attending the game. I'll actually have a chance to get home before midnight pending any cityrail stuff ups

 

[Adnico26Parker]

FWIW, here is FoxFooty's 'Team Tips':

Coming off their bye, the Swans only have one forced changed from their team that defeated Carlton in Round 11, with Luke Parker to miss through suspension. Dane Rampe could be eligible to return from injury, while Callum Mills is likely another few weeks off. The Swans’ VFL side also had a bye last weekend, but the likes of Dylan Stephens

(34 touches, one goal) and Angus Sheldrick (34 disposals) had big showings in the twos the week prior and could also come into the senior selection frame.


And for St Kilda:
Also having its bye last weekend, St Kilda will need to replace Hunter Clark for the next several weeks following a knee injury in the club’s Round 11 loss to Hawthorn. If Mitch Owens is free to return from concussion, he’ll replace Clark, while Cooper Sharman, who was sub against the Hawks, Marcus Windhager (38 touches, one goal) and Jack Billings (24 disposals, one goal) had big games in the VFL a fortnight ago. Anthony Caminiti had a quiet outing against the Hawks to potentially be vulnerable at selection, but so did most of the St Kilda team.

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Parker is an immense loss, regardless if Rampe plays. A midfield without both Parker and Mills is massively stretched.

Least we might actually play Rowbottom where he should have been playing all season long
