, the 2023 Premiership Flag will be carried from the AIA Vitality Centre to the MCG at 5.35pm, ahead of the flag's official unfurling ceremony during the pre-game.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Should be a cracking game. Heaps of story lines.

Bloods by a RJSkilton 14.

 

[Rankine2Rachele]

Pies by 8 points in a tight tussle.

 

[Jatz]

Think this one just took on a little more importance.

Pies have Brisbane at the Gabba in round 3. The potential to be 1-3 obviously wouldn't be overly disastrous for them but still wouldn't be ideal.

Would think they should be too good for Sydney however and expect them to go to 1-1 on the season.

 

[RUNVS]

Wish we had Mills, Parker and Adams for this game.

Should be a great game though. I hope Heeney fires in the midfield again.

 

[Dee Train]

Pies should win. I’m not salty because of last week, I just think Swans aren’t that good.

 

[Rankine2Rachele]

Pies should win. I’m not salty because of last week, I just think Swans aren’t that good.

They’re not bad, but they’re a rung below the top echelon.

 

[Zevon]

I guess there’s the slight hope of an upset here, so the Magpies are a chance. We should be far too good though obviously. Swans by 56

 

[Arr0w]

Important for both sides, hopefully a cracking game

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Swannies to get up here by 21pts.

More even across the ground - Grundy will be hungry to lay a turd on Collingwoods high hopes.

 

[Wolfgang West]

They’re not bad, but they’re a rung below the top echelon.

You've gleaned that on 1 week of footy ? If so, after one week and only 4 games with 8 teams competing in a competition of 18 who is the top echelon ? Oh ! You are going on 2023 ! Gotcha.

 

[Eshay187]

Looking forward to Cox v Grundy

honestly Grundy is probably the most important player for the swans given the undersized midfield.

 

[Zevon]

I’m looking forward to seeing Errol strut his stuff in front of some adoring Magpie fans and showing them who the true future GOAT is. Quiet game last week but the young man works in mysterious ways so I daresay he was just saving himself for this.

Apparently he had a really bad case of the flu a few weeks ago and is still recovering. Hopefully the extra week has helped.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Collingwood are a fast team, very fast. I like fast players.

BUT, an extra 2 day recovery for Swans in context of early season sees them running away with this. Pies are awesome and will be coming hard at the business end of the season, they just look a touch underdone atm but for sure will come good.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Apparently he had a really bad case of the flu a few weeks ago and is still recovering. Hopefully the extra week has helped.

He was bottom 2 last week so lots of upside for the team if he comes good.

 

[HBFlanker]

Pies bounce back for mine. 10 point win.

 

[Lethal09]

Collingwood to bounce back, Craig McRae

will be fired up this week.

Pies by 18 points.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

I think the biggest story and intrigue of round 1 is whether Sydney can back up their performance next week or whether it was one off event.

If they win, I think we can label them as a genuine flag contender given the difficulty of beating Collingwood at the G. If they lose, and lose badly, then I think they're in for another meh kind of season.

 

[Fadge]

Exactly why there's more interest in this game than the match between the also-rans on Thursday night.

Two potential GOATs doing their thing - a must watch for all genuine football lovers.

 

[Worm4]

Exactly why there's more interest in this game than the match between the also-rans on Thursday night.

Thats cute considering your side got flogged on Saturday night

 

[Arr0w]

I thought tge GOAT was featuring Saturday twilight

 

[YeoShuey]

Swans by 2 goals.

Pies to have a 0-5 start. Wonderful

 

[Coolangatta]

Swans by 2 goals.

Pies to have a 0-5 start. Wonderful

Not a chance in hell will the Pies be 0-5, just like Carlton won't be 5-0.

 

[Orange crush]

Should be a cracking game … swans by a kick
