Universal Love Sydney Swans Death Ride Thread 2026-2027

Agreed - I don't wish injury on anyone. Gulden out is a big loss for them. Curious there's no news on Heeney, given that he refused to go back on - clearly a bit going on there. If he's out for a chunk of the season, that's going to have a big impact on their chances.

Gulden and Heeney - two of my favourite players to watch

I mean I wanted to death-ride Sydney this year but.....

Depending on the timing of the new rules introduction a horror Swans injury run may be our only way of getting Cody so I'll hold back my tears for now.

Yep, apologies for my insensitivity...but if I'm being honest... when you trade away your first pick, and our short term future is heavily reliant on their final results.
Then I'll accept every form of misfortune upon the Swanny's.
If Charlie were to under perform for the next 3 seasons, then Goodo also.

If it nets them a flag they'd do it again in a heartbeat.

If....

Isaac Heeney is a test for this week.

5 day break so very doubtful imo.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Heeney out - confirmed by Cox...

Okay, now let’s see how they handle some players out (last year, not very well…).

 

[SurreyBlue]

Hawthorn on end of the lucky breaks again.

Hawthorn on end of the lucky breaks again.

This is a good one.

 

[bradfisher14]

Excited for this evening's death ride. Go Hawks!

 

[RPCB]

It would suck if Sydney win tonight, especially with West Coast next week.

 

[no fate]

Ah that was good. C Curnow absolutely belted after quarter time. More of this.

Standard Charles game: threaten early to dominate, barely touch the footy for the rest of the night. How many times did we see that play out?

 

[teagueyubeauty]

He chased hard….

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Swans have done well by getting Charlie. He managed 1 tackle tonight and 7 possessions with 6 of them coming in the 1st half.

Definitely worth the money and picks

 

[tarczonandjane]

I don’t have the same problem with Charlie that others around here do. I’d be happy to see him go well up there. But his body is just shot. And I think the result is that his mind is shot too.

 

[Flaggers22]

The swans gameday thread is a laugh. Three games in and they've already turned on him.

 

[jj1978]

Calls for Charlie to be dropped.

 

[bradfisher14]

Love a successful hatewatch.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

From the Swans board ...

'Gutted at curnow’s want to compete.

He gives up far too easily and lets his man win far too often'

Mate, I feel you. Many thought it was us and our forward entries wearing him down, but it seems to be who Charlie is now. Is it the injuries taking their toll? Is he too heavy? He has lost some of his leap, and a lot of his pace. But yeah, he doesn't try to compete, and does not work defensively when the marking contest is over. He's a bit of a hybrid, but in the last year and a bit, it's the worst parts of whatever combination he's going for.

 

[Blue Heart]

Calls for Charlie to be dropped.

That didn't take long !!!

 

[Old navy]

Charlie absolutely copping it in the Swans game day tread, their all learning how much of a one way player Charlie is.
He does have some freakish offensive skills, but once the balls going the other way is pretty much useless

 

[Faz 2000]

Couldn’t watch game tonight, but was hitting refresh on the stats and thought there was an error….. no, no, just Charlie not touching it for like 90 minutes. Good, goooood.
