Unofficial Preview Early Thoughts - Sydney Swans vs Hawthorn Grand Final Edition

[tonk]

Playing for East Perth under the captaincy of Paul Bevan, I think they finished last this season.

Didn't they lose to Subi in the decider?

The ploy would be to get Smith onto Rioli thus freeing up Bruest Clarkson wont care how many disposals he gets he would be there to take Smith.

We should call his bluff.

The other possibility is that Smith takes Rioli as usual, and we send Shaw to play a negating role on Breust. With Rohan coming off the half back line we won't be as reliant on Shaw's run as we have been in the past. Smith could try to exploit Rioli's lack of match fitness and run off him, don't forget Smith is a very good decision maker as well as a small defender, confuse Clarko by having Smith play a more attacking role than usual. By all means shoot me down if you think this is a crap idea

The countdown is on! So let’s review the last

10 years... this season’s best 22 contains

9 All Australians,

8 players under the age of 25,

7 players who started on the rookie list, and

6 players who were taken with national draft picks later than 30. Only

5 different teams have won flags since 2005. If the Swans win on Saturday, they will have played in

4 grand finals for a return of

3 flags. We are

2 cities,

1 team –

Go Swans.

People say it but what percentage of games has cyril turned really?

I dunno doesnt bother me, but do agree smith focused on breust is ideal

I hope they play Rioli so we can watch Nick Smith towel up his old schoolmate yet again.

This is such a good post well done mate.

Mission accomplished for him gets a free swing at us everytime on his show cant imagine another sport where a President of a club can say the stuff he says about another club through his multiple media positions with zero evidence.

EFA

It is nice to be appreciated once in a while, even from a hawthorn supporter.

"the AFL's cost of living allowance allowed the Swans to hand-pick the two most coveted uncontracted players of the last two seasons"

I'll read the rest of the article, but that's just a lie right there in par 2.

Yep that was on my mind when I typed it. East Perth lost to Subi. Morton and Bevo play for Perth Demons

MATCH REVIEW PANEL - FINALS WEEK THREE PREDICTIONS

Kieren Jack (Syd) rough conduct to Luke McDonald (NM). No charge; insufficient impact.

Anyways what im really hoping is should we get out to a 4-5 goal lead like in round 18 we need to BURY them i noticed we sort of went back into our shells in round 18 and started making stupid mistakes down back with horrible kick ins.

 

[The King!]

If jpk hannebery parker all get 25 touches or more we will win by 7 goals

Rare show of aggression by Jack to a young North player putting him back in his place.

Team was pissed off after round 4 no doubt.

Put it simply our best is better than Hawthorn.

Hodge would of got 6 weeks

2006 playing on anyone's minds? Just hope we don't start slow and have to play catch up for the rest of the game, as it ended up costing us that day. I am hoping we can emulate Brisbane who beat Collingwood in 2002 and 2003.

Ill write part one or my five days of preview tomorrow
