Game Day Bloods v Suns

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Really looking forward to this game. Beyond watching our young team, the GoCo has a number of very handy youngsters. I really enjoy Touk Miller's work in the mids. I think Dew has been smart in keeping Rischitelli on the list as a mentor in the twos. His footy smarts and leadership no doubt help their kids prepare for the Seniors.

I am also keen to see how Rowbottom and McCartin go.

Bloods to prevail by Reg Gleeson, ie. 27 (from memory).

Great weather

Hee! Foggy bottom territory this morning, I went for a walk @ 6 this morning and it was an experience.

Cold as a Dutton charitable impulse in Melbourne.

Our forward line today looks a good mix of marking and pace. Menzells physical limitations mean the poor bloke is always at risk of being found out on quicker tracks and larger grounds.

At some stage today we will have Papley, Rose and Ronke scurrying around front and square of McCartin and Reid , flipping out handpasses and slotting goals.

If Rose continues his development he will be the 'feel good' story of persistence for our season. I hope Ronke can translate his commitment to getting the small things right.

I am taking my son in laws family to the game today, all NRL fans except one who loves the Swans but doesn't get to games so I'm hoping and praying for a much better result than the corresponding game last year.

The Swannies by 37!

C'mon you bloods!!

Win, lose or draw, enjoy it Jewelsy!!

Pumped to see Rowbottom back. He was really good in the ressies last week. Also happy to see Rose hold his spot.

Fox is unlucky to miss but pretty hard to fit him in I think.

Clarke withheld from magoos. JPK to miss?

Cold as a Dutton charitable impulse in Melbourne.

GC fans will be as thick as the hair on Dutton's head today.

 

[Kirkswan]

It's a beautiful day here in Sydney, cold but clear. It was 7* at 7am and it's climbed all the way to 14* out Penrith way!

Better tell 'em to rug up, Jewelsbon! Hope you all have a great time! (I'll wave at you at half time! I'll be the one in red & white screaming like a banshee!)

Swans by 36+

Go BLOODS!

Clarke withheld from magoos. JPK to miss?

Doubt it. Probably just the standby emergency this week.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Confident the SCG crowd will significantly outnumber the Dawks v Weasels game at the G today.

Gale force wind and rain here this arvo. Dawk fans must be the most fair weather fans of all in the AFL

 

[The King!]

better win this

I miss when I wasn’t really nervous about a Suns game. Thanks a lot 2018!

Really hope Papley, Ronke & Rose continue to be lively inside 50. McCartin and Blakey get another chance to work on taking more responsibility as marking targets up forward.

Midfield should be more pro-active without a tagger. Out a tagger, in Rowbottom makes us an instantly more attacking midfield unit (if the kid goes OK).

I’m a little worried Sexton might get off the chain. He has a knack for kicking freakish goals if only given one second. Effectively shut him down and I really can’t see them kicking a winning score.

 

[Ticky009]

Pub test says crowd will be low.

Cinnamon donuts test inside ground says more for me!

 

[Ticky009]

Stevie J out with Paps & Hayward. Doing on the angle kicks.

Paps slotting them with ease.

Stevie J right arm wrapped up like a mummy.

Bloody wind going to be a problem, swirling all over the place.

Oh. Hi Tadgh!

Thanks to everyone at the SCG cheering - we do hear you on the TV coverage

 

[Ticky009]

Feel like I should go down at talk to that security guy facing an empty stand. Wouldn’t want him to feel lonely

 

[caesar88]

We could be 11th by the end of this round if we win today

 

[Tedeski]

We could be 11th by the end of this round if we win today

We'll drop this game.

 

[caesar88]

We'll drop this game.

Would not surprise me! No such thing as a sure thing with our current list.

 

[Ticky009]

We'll drop this game.

Will win the game. And make the 8.
