[lifelike_]

Go the bloods, hoping for a tight game.

[BulldogMike]

I am tipping West Coat to win. The Eagles have so much better talls than the Swans, A superior more attacking hardworking midfield, more flexible key position players and talls whilst generally having more stars and better bottom line players than Sydney. The game at the MCG gives the Swans a slim chance though i'll stick with the Eagles for today.

[BulldogMike]

West Coast late change
In Kasey Green out Phil Matera.

[Alkaline]

Swans won the toss and will kick to the right of screen.

[Alkaline]

Kerr got a knock to the shin and is limping around. Could be a big loss if he's not ok.

[Alkaline]

Kerr is off. The doc says its the low left leg. Bad signs for the weagles.

[lifelike_]

Sydney's tackling has been awesome so far, O'Loughlin in a bit of bother, should be fine.

[Alkaline]

Micky is feeling the pain after a big tackle in the swans forward line. Wirrapunda is playing really well in the Eagles backline, just holding them together along with glass.

[Glenn_]

Sydney defence under pressure but standing up well so far, MOL looking groggy after making a tackle

[jezza]

Eagles struggling to take a mark up forward, Sydney cleaning up at ground level with numbers.

[Alkaline]

Chris Judd playing awesome with 7 disposals so far with 10 minutes remaining.

[cbreban]

Brilliant play by Crouch.

[jezza]

umpires ruining the game :thumbsd: :mad:


How so? I've only seen one iffy free and that was the push in the back to Gardner, everything else has been there.

[roostersgal4eva]

SCHNIDERMANNN!!

Great effort by crouchy too

[Kingpin]

Schneider!!! :thumbsu:

Eagles looking the better of the two so far, but the Swannies are hanging in there.

[Alkaline]

Hall drops Wirrapunda and its on! :D

[cbreban]

Go Bazza!

[lifelike_]

Barry Hall with a classic coat hanger, takes out Wirrpunda

[jezza]

Big clothesline by Hall on Wirrpunda sparked a nice little brawl.

[Alkaline]

Chick from 5 out miss'

[cbreban]

Kenneally saves a goal.

[Jim Boy]

Chick - what a wally.

has he dropped the GF?

[Alkaline]

Jason Ball has got blookd pouring out of his head.

[roostersgal4eva]

hall and sydney need to fire up

[Alkaline]

Ball Hall free kick from Staker and goals.

Sydney: 3-0-18
West Coast: 2-4-16

[ManWithNoName]

Soft free gives Hall a goal.

[roostersgal4eva]

Goal Hall

[Kingpin]

Hall goals from in front and the Swans hit the lead by 2-points.

[Alkaline]

Classic add on during the break. Kacked myself laughing.. :D

[Sylvia Saint]

Soft free gives Hall a goal.
Doesn't Hall have a back?

[Alkaline]

Quater Time

Sydney: 3-0-18
West Coast: 2-4-16

[campbell]

Soft free gives Hall a goal.
How was that soft, he was eatng grass with the guy lying on his back.A free every day of the week.

[sherb]

Doesn't Hall have a back?
Apparently not. :eek:

If that was not a push in the back, I am not sure what is.

[roostersgal4eva]

Doesn't Hall have a back?
oh god that was so funny i split my sides
:rolleyes:

Go Bazza!

[mighty mick]

its obvious the maggots have been instructed to give sydney the flag, and as for hall just proved why he shouldnt be playing today with that coathanger

[Mr Eagle]

Soft free gives Hall a goal.

Soft? If you say so...

[Alkaline]

Eagles started well and the Swanes bounced back anfter a couple of free kicks the Swans up by 2 points at Quarter Time.
Barry Hall clothes lined Wirrapunda and it was on. If Hall gets booked for that im sure that the tribunal wont be as lenient as they were with him last week. You would think that Hall would have learnt his lesson. Get's a punching charge and he goes and clothes line someone. Stupid.
Chick, should have kicked that goal. Would have sparked the eagles and they would have been up at the first break. He will need to make up for missing that.
There have stupid little free kicks so far like Jolly running into big Gardiner and Staker falling on Barry Halls back, just need to be a bit more careful or else it will cost someone the game.

[Glenn_]

Soft free gives Hall a goal.

Well he is over his quota of frees so that will be the first and last ;)

Sydney tackling has been hard, now the question is can they keep it up??

[Blues_Man]

Soft free gives Hall a goal.
Soft free !!! Staker just about put a saddle on Halls back and mounted him :eek: Lloyd would have got 3 free kicks for that one :D

[Macca19]

Eagles had the better of the Swans but couldnt put it on the board. Swans made the most of their limited forward chances.

Judd absolutely on fire. Huge first quarter. Wirrpunda playing well. LRT and Fosdike best for the Swans.

Great first quarter...little over umpired tho

[Alkaline]

Sampi snaps and miss'

Sydney: 3-0-18
West Coast: 2-5-17

[saintsrule]

Eagles are letting Sydney off the hook with all their inside 50s for little result. Doubt if Sydney can keep up the flood for the entire game though. Might tell in the last quarter.

[Alkaline]

Schnider miss'

Sydney: 3-1-19
West Coast: 2-5-16

[cbreban]

Schneider looking dangerous.

[roostersgal4eva]

Schnider playing v v well

swans are the fittest team out there i think they can handle it saintsrule

[saintsrule]

I think eagles are the better team, but wasting too many chances!

[Alkaline]

Judd 13 possies. On fire

[Alkaline]

Judd almost had it. But rushed behind.

Sydney: 3-1-19
West Coast: 2-6-17

[Alkaline]

Sampi massive bump.

[Alkaline]

Hansen miss' for the Eagles.

Sydney: 3-1-19
West Coast: 2-7-18

[mighty mick]

[saintsrule]

Poor kicking for goal but eagles on top in the play!

[roostersgal4eva]

Sampi massive bump.

[Alkaline]

Mikey O drills it!

Sydney: 4-1-25
West Coast: 2-7-18
