Who should come in? Who's out?

[Foreign Legion]

Swans by 30 - hopefully

 

[TheKanga]

Swans by 36pts

 

[NetworkNerd]

Is Weitering playing?

 

[Wosh]

Zevon FOOTY IS BACK BABY!!!

How are your Swannies gonna do this year?
And how many minutes into the 1st quarter will someone state that the game is over? I say 6 minutes in.

Can we start complaining about the umpires now?

Can’t wait to get the season underway!! Bounce back year for us hopefully, starting with a 13 goal demolition of the Blues.

It’s Bigfooty, we wouldn’t have it any other way!

 

[timokane]

Swans by 19 points

 

[Wosh]

Can we start complaining about the umpires now?

I hear their mothers all wear dingle-berries and their fathers smell like army boots.

 

[Mr.X]

Blues by 11 points

 

[NetworkNerd]

Whoever wins is definitely making the top 10

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Is Weitering playing?

Yes he likely is. I think we all may have overreacted to his injury a little given he's not even going to miss a game.

Carlton to win this in a thriller by 5 points. Would be anti-climatic if they lost considering all the positive press they've been getting.

You are indeed an excitable boy.

 

[JackFlash]

Swans comfortably by 20 points...

 

[Hysteria]

The Blues have masterfully raised the expectations of their supporter base over the last 2 weeks.
Just in time for the annual tradition of the Carlton Football Club shitting the bed in front of a football hungry public in the first game of the year.
It really is cruel what they do to their fans.
Swans by 60

 

[Brass Dog]

Can we start complaining about the umpires now?

No, but you can start complaining about the Blues playing on a Thursday or Friday night. Snooze!

How many do this irrelevant team get? 7 out of the first 10 or something. What are the AFL thinking.

 

[Wosh]

You are indeed an excitable boy.

You have no idea

 

[Billy ray]

Hope they have the love ladder up in the first qtr

 

[Xtreme]

Carlton can't take a trick, for years being matched vs Richmond as an opening season fixture. Now they're matched vs the Swans.... and will lose big.

Swans by 80
Grundy BOG and will be outright brownlow favourite.

 

[terrybull]

It’s Bigfooty, we wouldn’t have it any other way!

We should have better umpires now when they don’t have to bounce the ball.

Swans to win with goal after siren.

Also preview of this years Grand Final.

[Cam Payne]

Swans by 10....goals.

 

[Jatz]

Would expect Sydney to do it pretty easily, probably between 4 - 5 goals.

 

[My Tilly]

Sydney by 30 points.
