Swans’ burning question: How does Buddy respond?​

Power’s burning question: Is Ollie Wines the man who needs to lift Port Adelaide?​

Let's ignore our games since 2017.

#AFLSwansPort #ProudlySydney #GoBloods #GoSwans #Bloods


We have all the Bloods and Port fans cheering us on for a win!

Bloods to win by 36 points

 

[Ticky009]

Well its still pouring at my place. Am expecting a wet game with low scoring, luckily Swans do okay in water. Power not so much

 

[Dubai Quacker]

There’s a delicious irony in a club who sings “Never Tear Us Apart” dutifully tearing themselves apart.

Here’s hoping the Sack Hinkley hysteria is in full swing by half time.

 

[wills2g]

Well its still pouring at my place. Am expecting a wet game with low scoring, luckily Swans do okay in water. Power not so much

Should clear up tomorrow.

Look forward to my first swans game of the year in person!

Heeney to show up bigtime. Logan to kick a bag. Midfield to win contested ball against Wines, Rozee and Butters

Hoping a 30+ win and break 6 years of hoodoo

 

[Punts]

Port by 4 in a thriller.

Be a good contested game

Warner best for us with rampe

 

[Ed_Gein]

My brother turned 40 on the 5th, and the family are going out for dinner at 7pm. Going to miss this and Celtic v Rangers at 9:30pm....

 

[Donza]

Well its still pouring at my place. Am expecting a wet game with low scoring, luckily Swans do okay in water. Power not so much

Shocking joke...

 

[The King!]

we will flog them

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

If Hinkley is a smarter match day coach than Horse, then surely the latter must be barred from making moves. Won’t happen tho.

It sounds like this is yet another home game that justifies building a covered Stadium at Randwick for footy and cricket .

I think we might get the win but it will be in controversial circumstances. The scoundrel Hinkley will claim the moral high ground. This in itself will break the hearts of all sensible True Magpies who want him gone.

Bloods by Keith Baskin - 4 points.

 

[Punts]

we will flog them

You said the same last week

 

[The King!]

You said the same last week

Yeah and you say we will get beaten most weeks

think I am right more often

 

[Donza]

It sounds like this is yet another home game that justifies building a covered Stadium at Randwick for footy and cricket .

Its sunny, warm and not a cloud in the sky.
Just a moderate westerly.

 

[Punts]

Yeah and you say we will get beaten most weeks

think I am right more often

That is correct

Been alright on other games this year

Hope we don’t drop it

Bloods by Keith Baskin - 4 points.

or is that 45 points?
PS. I had to look that up Australian Football - Keith Baskin

 

[Swan4Life]

Come on, we're not losing this.

I hope Amartey and Logan have big ones because it would mean that (a) they are developing some consistency and (b) the mids are winning clearances and / or getting their hands on it with some good delivery as well.

Swans by 19.

 

[Millky95]

Should be a 3-4 goal win. Extend the lead at each break. Mids need a bounce back and forwards need to kick straight

Hoping for more which would be a big statement

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

There’s a delicious irony in a club who sings “Never Tear Us Apart” dutifully tearing themselves apart.

Here’s hoping the Sack Hinkley hysteria is in full swing by half time.

They're not torn apart though. Pretty sure the whole club is unified behind #sackhinkley except Koshie.

 

[ashep]

Expecting us to bounce back hard today. Port are a bit of a rabble and some senior players will want to quiet the noise after last week. Expecting a big performance from our mids.

 

[Edmund hunt]

I doubt there will be any rain. Sunny sky with periodic clouds in Marrickville.

For those lucky enough to be at the SCG
1. Cheer loud and proud
2. check out the new Swans HQ

Pre-game
Time: 4:30pm

Before gates open at the SCG (5:30pm) be sure to pass by the plaza for a drink and bite to eat. Our resident DJ will play tunes all evening long and there will be plenty for the kids with garden games, arts and crafts, face painters and hair braiders.

A beer garden and members only bars courtesy of Bird in Hand Wine and Archie Rose will be erected in the space. Hear from Bloods Champion Brett Kirk

[swanssince2002]

Not sure if the Port players will be galvanised by their club legend calling out the higherups for allowing the mediocrity to fester for 10+ years. Club under the pump off the field. Hinkley and Koch taking shots at Ports modern day legend. Only time will tell. But we better win for our sake and maybe for the sake of most of their fans as well. Even the Port facebook crowd jumped off after the showdown loss lol

 

[rustycrate]

We need to win because we need to win. If we are a premiership outfit, then we need to steamroll this Port outfit. Nothing less will be a major disappointment.
We are better. So do it Swans.

 

[Dan87]

We need to smash sides. Port is a weaker side. We need to dominate and smash them. This team is capable of being ruthless. I want ruthless.

Neck on throat ruthless.
We need to make that the norm so it is second nature come finals time.
