[SwansProudly]

Let's go

 

[Cadsky]

CC to dominate, 5 goals and Weitering to crack the sads

 

[Bonz]

Super excited.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Going to fly up for this one.

Super excited.

Should see if a few of us can do a meet up.

 

[Nuggetz]

We should rest Curnow from playing against this dud team. If he plays, he'll kick 10 then point to the scars on his knees. Hayward & Florent will request a trade back to the swans. Swans by 60.

 

[bedford]

Let's go

What happened to mine ?

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

We’ll piss it in.

 

[RUNVS]

Curnow to do a Buddy in his first game for the Swans and kick a very respectable 1.9

 

[Syd]

Curnow to do a Buddy in his first game for the Swans and kick a very respectable 1.9

So he'll outscore CarLOLton on his own then.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Hayward to have 7 disposals
Florent to have 7 clangers.
Curnow to kick 7 goals.

 

[dosser]

Hayward to have 7 disposals
Florent to have 7 clangers.
Curnow to kick 7 goals.

The new 7-7-7 rule.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Hayward to have 7 disposals
Florent to have 7 clangers.
Curnow to kick 7 goals.

I know the above posts are in jest but I hope Florent and Hayward tear it up in a 7 goal loss. It's not easy coming into a side that's just lost their star, particularly in Melbourne.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Very sad we didn’t get the double up fixture v Carlton. I’m sure they feel the same.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Yeah I totally agree, love them both.

 

[SwansProudly]

What happened to mine ?

I have no idea.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Donza, how’s the weather forecast looking?

 

[RUNVS]

Donza, how’s the weather forecast looking?

It will be clear for over a month, and then for no reason it will suddenly begin raining on game day.

Ehswan jumped the gate there with his first crack team so I thought I should do a second crack. Seniors:
FB: Cunningham McCartin Rampe
HB: Wicks Melican Blakey
C: Gulden Mills McInerney
HF: Jordon McDonald Campbell
FF: Papley Curnow Rosas
FOLL: Grundy Heeney Warner
I/C: Serong Sheldrick Rowbottom McLean Dattoli
Emerg: Amartey Bice Cleary
Will we drop Rampe and Lloyd immediately? My guess is not. Will we run with two tall forwards plus McLean? I hope so.
Assuming the senior team as above, the VFL:
FB: Andrew Edwards Hamling
HB: Bice Snell Kyle
C: Chamberlain Cleary Lloyd
HF: Adams Amartey King
FF: Hanily Hetherton Phillipou
FOLL: Green Roberts Corey
I/C: Ladhams Bowman Cootee
Ladhams to relieve ruck and tall forwards.
Adams to organise the forward line, Lloyd the midfield. Bowman to rotate through HB, Cootee through HF. Kyle, Cootee, King and Philippou all to rotate through the midfield.

Beautiful.
Can see Cootee puting pressure on Campbell, Dattoli and Rosas. Which is good.

Cootee
