"If we play our way for longer we can challenge any side." - assistant coach Tanya Hetherington

 

[SwansProudly]

Senior coach Scott Gowans and key forward Bella Smith discuss team motivation, finals contention and Pride Game ahead of Round 9.

 

[SwansProudly]

What does Pride mean to our players

 

[SwansProudly]

“I know a lot of people whose story isn’t like mine, and they haven’t been as blessed and lucky as I have...I will be wearing it on behalf of them" @SydneySwansAFLW players know the significance of the Pride guernsey they will wear on Sunday.

"We want to fill Henson Park - ticket sales are going really well, which is great.”

I'm keen to see how we go against the Magpie defence this game. They've been very strong throughout the year and we won't have anywhere near as much space like we did against the Dogs.

Molloy is going to be tagged and tagged hard!

 

[SwansProudly]

It's game on!

[Ticky009]

Am minding 4yr old great niece, no footy for me today. Dammit.

[SwansProudly]

Aliesha Newman back in our side, she’s a late inclusion with Montana Beruldsen out of today’s game.

 

[SwansProudly]

It’s hot, there’s not a cloud in the sky and there’s plenty of colour! Bring on Pride Game at Henson Park against the Pies #CheerThis

 

[SwansProudly]

Love that our players are running out onto the ground with the young girls forming guard of honour.

 

[SwansProudly]

 

[Ticky009]

That was too easy. Defence got to be better than that.

 

[Mister B]

Seconds in and we see a perfect tackle penalised costing us a goal. This after last week, a tackle where a player got knocked out was given the all clear on ground and at the tribunal.

 

[Mister B]

This breeze is going to put us out of the game before the end of the first.

 

[SwansProudly]

Love that our players are running out onto the ground with the young girls forming guard of honour.

 

[Mister B]

Well * me. Heads taken with a swinging arm to the head then a clear HTb tackle not rewarded. We are up against it today.

 

[Mister B]

Some good play to lock it down forward. Reward for effort. Keep it low and hard when going left of screen.
