It was a 6-day break after basically a training run against North which is manageable. A 5-day break after spending a significant time up the ground against Geelong is too risky.

You'd need a 100 point loss for the axe to swing. Hopefully we can help you during these pressing times :P

We're only managing Daniher because of his injury. Won't be good for him coming off a 5 day break.

Look we both want a fairly officiated match, but I think that is way over the top. We are most definitely not the media darlings, nor are we a team that regularly get the rub of the green. In fact, our default expectation is to get the worse of the umpiring. Umpiring will probably not be a...

Well you don't need to worry about that. You're playing Essendon, not the Bulldogs or Geelong. We're bottom 4 for free kicks this season. In fact, the last time we were in the top 8 for free kicks was in 2004, incidentally the year that Hird made that statement to the media about the umpiring...

Make this person Sydney's coach!

Well isn't that how you lost your last final? Why wouldn't we practice your weakness? ;)

Hurley would've played against Fremantle, but was kept out for precautionary reasons. He'll be fine. Hooker and Fantasia are more unclear. I think Hooker will get up but Fantasia won't

Nah not really. We don't have anything to lose. I don't expect us to win. Good experience for us either way

Well because it's a preview thread. I'm talking about the game. I don't care about your opinion of where we should be. We're in the finals and you are playing us. Deal with it

I couldn't care less about your view. I'm enjoying it Fantasia could be back. Tracking very well in his recovery. Hooker and Hurley should also be back I hope

Hah. It was a slippery night. We also missed very simple shots. We kicked 7 goals in a row without Hooker. And out of all of your 14 wins, we were the closest. ;) You guys should win, but we can hopefully give you a scare

Bring it on guys. Glad that we can get another crack at you after the brainfade. Should be a cracking game

I don't think a slow start will be a problem for us. We've won 10 out of 12 first quarters this year, including after a 10 day break. The only first quarters that we've lost are from short breaks. Melbourne after a 5 day break and Adelaide from a 6 day break after playing in heavy rain against...

I'm answering the question because Eth doesn't rate McKernan :p I don't rate him highly either, but there are some positives to his game (although it entirely depends on which McKernan shows up). He's been in good form for our VFL side though

Well not exactly like for like, but McKernan is very mobile for a tall. He can tackle and put pressure on once the ball hits the deck. Hooker is by far the better contested mark though and that'll be a loss on a smaller ground like the SCG. He'll likely chop out for TBC in the ruck (which I...

Yes it does bear that. It's not always to do with just the free kick count. It's the ridiculous free kicks/non-calls that we get against you guys. I mean, a free kick for a Sydney player getting another Sydney player high? It's weird calls like that. Same thing with Fremantle and Fremantle...

I don't think we mean that you guys get a good run all the time. It's just that you guys get the rub of the green most times we play you. Same thing when we play Fremantle. It's strange. Usually people have that with West Coast, Bulldogs and Geelong, but we don't have that problem with them...

No Daniher, Hooker, McKenna, McGrath or Zaharakis?

Oh whoops! Was a while ago :oops:

Hey we gave you Ted Richards for peanuts. Time to return the favour? :D
