By the Numbers - Swans in Perth

Thanks Peter Blucher:​

The Swans record against Fremantle in Perth under Longmire is 3-6 (33.3%) ... and in his 13 years as coach, the Swans have finished ahead of the Dockers on the ladder nine times. Plus, they have enjoyed a 9-1-8 (52.8%) overall record against them​

Bloods by a Mopsy Rantall five points.

Shake down the thunder.

 

[anotherletdown]

Swans by 20+, moving right along, nothing to see here.

 

[Kirkswan]

Swans by 24+

Without offending Fremantle, who in my view are building a team of the future, we will win this 4 goals plus in the rain, more if it stays fine.

Onwards to victory!!!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Perth guys/girls exactly how bad is the rain today?

And ps is there a good pub/cocktail bar near the ground you know of?

Thanks

What happened to Professor Pee and the pisstometers prediction?

We will win comfortably

The danger is we just get bored

Thunderstorm from ocean heading towards Perth!

Ye gods.

*should be over by 6.30pm WST.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Ultimately, Freo will try to bring us down to their level. Think 44-all draw Clanger fest. The good news is they never score enough points for us to be blown away or ever be out of it.

The 2022 comeback was one of Horse’s best examples of a plan B as we changed course to the elite kicking / uncontested play - result was we carved them up.

Keep it simple in the wet, bang it forward, don’t over hand ball and watch for skidding balls out the back.

As long as Gianfagna understands its Freo not FreeO then we’ve got this as ultimately our speed across the ground and attack on the contest will see us literally running away with it.

Swans 86 to 55.

 

[Millky95]

Will be very tight. Can see this one going either way

 

[GotTheGoodes]

It'll be the Swannies by 37!

C'mon you bloods!!

 

[Olian]

Hard to believe that the Dockers were belted by the Eagles three weeks ago. Two solid wins over teams you would expect them to beat has covered up everything.

Swans to win a tight defensive tussle.

 

[Jewelsbon]

We will win comfortably

The danger is we just get bored

In Professor Pee we trust.....

 

[MR0808]

My first game for a while I get to watch. Hopefully we put on a clinic. Swans by 4 goals

 

[Ticky009]

Will be very tight. Can see this one going either way

Yep, I think they match up well against us.

Going to be a close one I feel. Not sure which way it goes.

 

[Donza]

I'm not so sure.

I watched the Richmond and Dogs games.

The Tigers were so so so bad. It was like watching North at their worst.

 

[Membling]

The squiggle has us losing 76-71

Just when you think you can trust a bloke with a pencil nose....

Anyone else having a problem where the entire board is auto marked as read?

 

[Punts]

Should be a cracker

 

[Swan4Life]

Never an easy game away to Freo. Heck, we've lost to them at home in recent years.

But I've got a good feeling about this one - provided they stick to the game plan, where pressure on the ball carrier will always be at the top of Horse's list.
Serong and Young in particular will hurt us if that pressure level isn't high. Grundy only needs to break even with Jackson for that to be a net victory, but it won't be easy.

Hopefully Francis slots in nicely and isn't a major downgrade on Tommy.

Swans by 8.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Freo are a mid-table side, nothing more.

Perth weather as at 7.32am (based on looking out the window): partly cloudy & not a breath of wind.
