Preview The Swans Redemption Arc Goes On - Sydney vs Port Adelaide - Preliminary Final

[Bloods86]

And JHF?

Look for a group of 3 Swans mids in the centre, then move your eyes to the otherwise free space about 10 metres closer to Port's goal.

I do like it that a few of them keep pointing to the fact that they have the "EXACT SAME SIDE" that beat us by 112 a month ago (minus Houston and the other defender guy) so they should be able to walk it in.

But they neglect acknowledging we were playing a side with Ladhams and Francis FFS. And we were missing Rampe, Papley, Amartey, McInerney and Melican.

Same thing happened last year when a couple of key defenders were injured mid game. Losing defenders wrecks our structure.

Believe me, we’re not confident.

Fox or Adams in

Wicks might be a chance

Worried about these pricks and how much they have it over us

Isn't Wicks suspended?

It's about this time of year I recall the Saints fans in 2005 already making plans for their grand final "knowing" that they would be too strong and too fresh for a beaten up and frankly dead lucky Swans outfit.

OWAAT people.

I was surprised looking at the team the last time we played Port - Ladhams, Wicks, Fox, Francis, Corey Warner, Adams and Mills all played. Things will (hopefully) look quite different this weekend.

Served his time now I thought.

Served his time now I thought.

Suspended for 4 games, we've played 3 since.

I mean, what's that to them? A train ticket?

 

[The King!]

Fox or Adams

Can't see Wicks even if available or Cleary or Sheldrick

 

[The King!]

Fox in for Mills and Campbell stays sub

wouldn't shock me

 

[The King!]

Believe me, we’re not confident.

Why not , should be, these two prelims can go either way easily .

 

[Glenn_]

Ticket allocation exhausted.
If any become available they will be released to the public.

 

[The King!]

I certainly hope we are switched on, and at this time of year it goes without saying you need to respect the opposition .

Port have an outstanding midfield.

 

[Punts]

I’ll be worried if they jump us and see there confidence rise.

We have to start well

They will go in with a similar game plan as they used against Hawthorn, just like the Giants did to the Swans. The Hawks struggled to get the ball to the outside as did the Swans.
Hopefully the players have picked up on the lift in intensity and make the adjustment early on.

There pressure was really up in the first

Gotta hold strong opening 15

McInerney? If he's playing he better have pulled up a hell of a lot better then when he did the other week.

Ports pressure in the first half was fantastic - 2 port players in a tackle for every 1 Hawks player. Didn't give them time to get their quick handball game going and ratttled them.

We better handle it better and keep evens or its going to be another nailbiter.

 

[Bandicoot]

I'd prefer a Brisbane flag tbh.

If it's not us, it can't be Geelong. Please!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Olian]

Port played on emotion last week after copping a pasting in the media and a Ginnivan post. Not sure they play with that intensity this week given they belted us last time

After they belted us last time you would hope pride kicks in and we turn up to repay the favour.

We gotta handling it better than the gws game

Assuming JMac plays, I would start Campbell for Mills and push Florent back. Adams the sub.

Fresh legs definitely played a part in Campbell's impact last week, but strike while the iron - and his confidence - is hot. Give him licence to push forward and run Port ragged. Bringing Adams on when the game slows down may work to his advantage like Parker's sub appearances.

Fox's versatility is nice, but I just don't think he's had great form this year.
