Game Day Sydney Swans V. Richmond Tigers - The Mitch Morton Cup

[RUNVS]

You are full of happy news

I was not happy seeing it either. Will have to wait tomorrow for the Saturday prediction but so far it is not looking good.

 

[swansfc357]

Weather is going to hurt us if wet next week.

In: JPK, Franklin, Pyke, McGlynn.

Out: Towers, Naismith, Jones, Biggs.

Can you imagine how much Crows and Eagles must be spewing right now

Quite funny that we helped end those two clubs finals hopes of all teams

Already got angry texts from my brother who is WCE

 

[The King!]

Towers was better tonight he deserves credit for improvement
Rohans pressure was great
Parker was epic
Hanners was patchy ditto jetta when they played well we looked ok

Tippett may as well not play with that delivery it was woeful

Biggs was quiet today so shaw will get nod


Foot skills were woeful all round but post their start we looked pretty good

Goodesy stop diving mate its poor, and ur best and worst gap is increasing

He cost us in the last

It's a newish rule implemented after the hawks were kings of holding onto the man after they had disposed of it

Oh yeh I know it, just cannot recall it being used. And what Towers did was so benign anyway..... well, you get the idea.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Teams don't turn around that sort of form in a finals game against top quality opposition to be faced next week.
Played ourselves out of form regardless who is to come back in. Charade picking Franklin knowing he was not going to play and tbh ******* pointless, as was Naismith who makes Paul Chambers look like Polly ******* Farmer.

 

[RUNVS]

Just checked

Thursday
Sydney area
Partly cloudy. Medium chance of showers, most likely later in the day. Winds west to southwesterly 15 to 25 km/h.

Friday
Sydney area
Partly cloudy. Medium chance of showers. Winds south to southwesterly 25 to 40 km/h.

Saturday
Sydney area
Partly cloudy. Medium chance of showers. Winds southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h turning southerly during the morning.

 

[robbieando]

Serious question here - can anyone recall a 50 like the one that was paid against Towers for the "tackle" after disposal?

I honestly can't.

Nope, I can't.....I really really can't.

But I guess if your a Richmond fan you'll take a gifted finals spot over 9th

 

[grimlock]

Agree. That free, Rampe's bump on Riewoldt and Malceski holding the ball were three gifts

Has it been paid at any point during the year? cause i cant remember.

Not that I recall since it was introduced in 2009

Was pretty arrogant i reckon.

 

[grimlock]

Bit worried about Tippett and McVeigh. Both spent long periods on the bench in the last and McVeigh also 'hiding' in the forward line

 

[swansfc357]

Tippo prob would have been sub if not for Naismith injury so prob just playing conservative.

McVeigh got a corky so definitely no need to risk it.

Tippett had to play Ruck more than anyone would of wanted because Naismith last only 2 and half quarters before blowing up so he was on the bench resting rather than playing forward.

King said during the call he asked the bench and McVeigh was fine for what it is worth.

 

[teooooooman]

Really impressed with Mitchell's game absolute gun. 30 touches 12 tackles!

Mcveigh came on to show he was "right" i suspect

Great work to up his trade value
/mainboard

 

[RUNVS]

Should someone create a new thread for next weeks game?

 

[teooooooman]

According to some he ain't worth pick 6ish let alone 1st round according to some hawk posters haha.

 

[PVF]

Meh, lost with 5 of our best 22 out, shitty conditions, shitty ground and shitty umpiring and only lost by 3.

Nothing to see here, move along.

His diving cost him a legitimate free in the last I reckon

I agree, we shouldn't read too much into this game, but jeez ANZ is a crap stadium with s**t surface.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Guys the shitty ground and shitty conditions will be there again next week lol, we better adjust quickly.
