Game Day 2022 Non-Swans Game Day

[GotTheGoodes]

IMO Melbourne will flog Brisbane.

Lions are pretenders

Well well well...

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Calling Brisbane witches hats is an insult to witches hats.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

The only difference between finishing 2nd and 3rd is the home ground advantage for the matchup between the two sides. It doesn't change our path to a flag win or lose week 1 of the finals regardless of the ladder position or who we play.

Also just for the record, we finished 3rd in 2005 and 2012 and didn't do too badly.

Agreed. Plus good to get finals experience at MCG.

I’d prefer for Saints to play well and make us earn it so we are hardened coming into finals, while Melbourne is softened up against Brisbane and we strike them early.

 

[Ticky009]

Yeah, cheers for that Ticky.

Sorry mate. Did mean to bring up bad memories for us all.

 

[swanssince2002]

Not gonna plan anything yet for the QF yet in case I jinx it

 

[Membling]

Just need to win 55 - 0*

* likely to change after this q

 

[Membling]

Sorry mate. Did mean to bring up bad memories for us all.

I remember alcohol and sadness. That is all

 

[Ticky009]

Well well well...

Now we'll never hear the end of it

 

[Bloods86]

I was going to swan in asking how everyone felt about our "guaranteed" 2nd spot, but tbh now I'm just worried in general.

 

[Ticky009]

There's a reason Horse says we just take it a week at a time.

 

[swanssince2002]

Putting this into perspective: Took over half a season to finally get our best 22 right but if you were talking top 4 for us 6 weeks ago youd be dreamin.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Ah well, so be it.
We need a good training drill win at the G against a decent team before 24/9.

 

[Faysals Swans]

At this point I hope Melbourne win by even more, what a pathetic performance from Brisbane. Destiny is in our own hands now, I personally don’t mind playing first week at the MCG against Melbourne.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

At least we won’t need to listen to music in between goals.

 

[Millky95]

I'm just salty that the 1 time slot I can't watch for finals is Sat night and a Melbourne QF makes it more likely to be then

 

[ashep]

Uh, just give the handball Lachie?

As disappointed as anyone on the result yesterday but for some positivity..

+6 scoring shots, +8 inside 50s and we won on expected score yesterday. On another day we kick those we should have and win by a few goals.

We have lost 2 games all season to the top 9 teams on the ladder. No other team has dropped less than 3. Our best is very good and I’d rather have banked wins against the better teams rather than be flat track bullies, as that won’t bode well come finals.

We will likely start favourite in 6 of our 7 games on the run home, so it’s all in our hands. The good news is that we don’t play the bottom 10 in finals obviously so we just have to get there and who knows. Top 4 isn’t out of the question either with our run home.

Said that after our loss to Essendon, I’ll claim it

 

[Day_night_honourer]

At least we won’t need to listen to music in between goals.

Haha...I'm not sure why so many hate this..I think its great & adds to atmosphere.
And I had a chat with every other team and they all wish they had some music in between their goals.

 

[Nuggetz]

It's a win win imo.

Either we play melb in melb and game some more experience on the MCG for our young side or we play melb in syd in front of a veracious SCG crowd and melb have to deal with sydney traffic

At least some of the songs were nice throwbacks to childhood but the less said about a few songs the better

 

[Nuggetz]

so is the pre-finals bye confirmed?

 

[GoodesStuff]

so is the pre-finals bye confirmed?

Yep

 

[Ticky009]

Sydney traffic will break them.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Brisbane are in the same boat as Port Adelaide circa 2020-2021.

 

[Ticky009]

Lions out of the Top 4.
