[RandB]

Who will be top 4…

Too early to pick but Swans and Pies will be there IMO

Think the swans are definitely good enough

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Think the swans are definitely good enough

we have not been tested with games v GoCo and Hawks

some of our mids struggled last week.

Think this will be close.

The way our midfield played last week, this could be a cakewalk for you

Swans might be top 4ish, but I'm not sold on them in Melbourne. The GF shellacking remains singed on my brain, it was weak and tepid. I could've spend the day with Melinda, but no no the GF was more important.

I reckon Dees have an opportunity here to get their act together, play hard uncompromising footy against a suspect opponent with shaky nerves. And do it for 4 quarters. There is no magic potion for Dees, they just need to go back to playing hard and keeping that mentality to smash opponents, like they did 2 years ago.

 

[The 747]

Hmm big game. Swans for mine but could go either way.

I like the way you describe what we need to do, it’s right on point. We need to win clearances, win hard ball and defend hard. Sydney however do have the timber on us and given it’s round 3 the nerves won’t be there. Remember they beat us in a QF last year.

Win this and I’ll be a bit more positive.

I forgot about the QF

Still, no need for too much "finnessin'" as per Tommy Hafey's old saying, just play your one-wood, break the bastards down.
Good luck.

 

[Toump Ass]

Franklin shouldn’t be playing this game. Kozzie should.

AFL looking after its little pet project still. Takes a bit of shine off this one.

Our best is hard defending and using Langdon and Jordan on a wing. Win clearances and contested possessions, and hope we can get 3-4 from Ben brown.

 

[Chinacats]

Sterner test for swans today… will be interesting to see how they go!

 

[Shai]

After seeing the Lions take care of biz against the Dees last week then collapsing in a sh*tty heap this week, who knows.

Tipping Swans to keep on keeping on.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Those South Melbourne guernseys are mint !

The Swans should wear it for all away games in Melbourne

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Decent goal by Buddy.

Swans badly needed that.

 

[chestbrah]

If the AFL wants to remove dissent they also have to be more honest around umpire mistakes. This one way traffic is nonsense, particularly given the terrible standard of umpiring we are seeing.

 

[base615]

The AFL is finished

 

[SSwans2011]

HTB doesn't exist again

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Umps keeping the Dees in it early

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Umps keeping the Dees in it early

What an odd thing to say

 

[Scythe94]

Umps keeping the Dees in it early

Keeping us in it when we're up 36-9, lol.

 

[The 747]

Bad kicking is bad football and the reverse.....

 

[Osho]

Dees looking very EFFECTIVE.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Melbourne are on fire.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Demons are for mine the scariest team in the competition when they’re up and about. Very strong front-runners.

You mean the bloke that launched himself off his feet at an opponent's head(thankfully no damage), vs a slight elbow clip, which was stupid, but never going to do any serious damage?
