40% chance of rain according to my weather app.

Can't believe they're streaming this game instead of the Carlton/Collingwood game

What? It's nothing to do with any other game. this game wasn't being broadcast by Fox so the Swans and/or AFL have stepped in and providing a stream instead.

It's on the Freo site too. AFL is streaming every game that isn't broadcast.

Things I care about for this match:
1. No injuries
2. Better disposal efficiency
3. No injuries
4. Mitchell and Heeney attending centre bounces/stoppages if playing
5. No injuries
6. Young guys to put their hand up for first round selection

These are big. Our disposal was woeful against Brisbane and as for Mitchell and Heeney neither of them went near the stoppages for the entire game which made no sense given that is what they are really good at.

No injuries in the wet.

 

[cinderella man]

No injuries in the wet.

If it is wet Swans are lucky there is not 4 points on the line. Their football in the wet is calamitous to say the least.
Brisbane completely outplayed them last week without dispute but their ability to keep their feet and execute skills in the humidity and moist under foot surface at Coffs Harbour was laughable. No excuse because it is a weakness and probably says something of the skill level in general at the club so if it is wet today at Drummoyne expect more of the same.

Sydney and Fremantle will be much more interesting to watch this year anyway.

Guys, Scottty means that he is disappointed that the Sydney vs Fremantle game was not on FOX instead of Carlton vs Collingwood. He thinks that is a better game to watch

 

[iBeng]

Are ANY of these Nab Mickey games worth watching more than another?

aka disappointed Fox is broadcasting the other game instead of this game. I know how it works.

Considering this game is supposed to be promoting diversity it's actually a joke it's only viewable via stream.

You could say, the AFL probably wanted to keep this game hidden in the closet.

I watch them for the country grounds. Good scenery.

Casting it on TV and the quality is decent.

 

[vonn]

lol. The goalpost padding which is normally black with 'NAB' is rainbow coloured. Yay diversity! #notsuperficial

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

This commentary team is all class lol

 

[Righteo]

For a preseason game the Swans' ball-handling has been excellent.

Do we get the same commentary team? Sydney stream has been going on about some financial company which is highly relevant and informative.

 

[Membling]

We are? Can't see it but if so thank god.

 

[vonn]

How can you even see anything as detailed as ball handling? I think I can make out the ball in some angles.

 

[Righteo]

Could change very quickly if it starts to rain but your handball game is cutting us apart.

Lachie Neale was very good that quarter. Reasonably high intensity game so far.

Makes perfect sense. We know what Mitchell and Heeney are good at, but if they're going to play, they need to be able to rotate forward and through the wings, depending on matchups/structure, so it's best they get a good workout there in the games that don't matter.
