Preview Changes v Sydney

[An Ardenary Life]

Sat through that 65 point loss last year, it was not ideal.

I'm sure we'll be far more competitive tomorrow. Possibly, even stick with them for a while?!

 

[Passmore]

Yep the Papley one had me scratching my head. We really don't have anyone for these small quick types. Nick Watson would be eyeing our game off already.

Probably the reason he vanished in the 2nd half yesterday. Should've been concentrating on the task at hand.

 

[Chip Scab1]

I walked out at half time last year. If people walk out at 3/4 I guess its an improvement

My little brother gave me the look in the 2nd Q, we were gone by 1/2 time too haha

 

[Caracas]

Well other than the other time he was dropped last year - yeah sure.

Was he. Which game was it, S? I always thought he only missed out doe to injury.

 

[Caracas]

I know I’m setting myself up for major disappointment here. However, if LDU is fine, I reckon we really are in a position to take a big step forward tomorrow. We’ve had a couple of unlucky losses and a draw in Marvel against the Swans. We are well overdue a win against them. Having said that, they are running red hot at the moment.

Let's hope they're a bit complacent. They looked that way last week. It was a very wishy-washy un Sydney like game.

Yeah 100%.

Sydney by 60.

 

[Passmore]

Yeah 100%.

Sydney by 60.

I'm hoping they're a bit off. It they're on and we're not 60 is a possibility.

Yes. But still kicked a lazy 131

[Blightys Barrel]

For Clarko’s pre-game address tomorrow, he should channel Lt Aldo Raine (Brad Pit). 4 words is all that is needed.

“I want my Scalps.”

 

[Passmore]

Yes. But still kicked a lazy 131

They were scored against heavily as well.

 

[JZTIME!]

As good as we could hope for with the changes. I like the mix of JK and Spargo until Dova builds an AFL tank.

id rather pump games into dova or banch then waste them on spargos

He looks great in the first halves. Limited pre season has hurt him. Will be better for longer as he gets to peak fitness. That should be in the VFL but he is very good with ball in hand. Its a tough one

 

[Caracas]

Spargo is only 26. He has proven himself to be good enough to line up for the 2021 premiership winners in the GF.

 

[The Nostradamus]

who is our matchup for papley and rosas?

zurhaar and lmac?
daniel?

this is when i wish hardeman was in the side

 

[Chip Scab1]

Wardlaw back, how exciting.

 

[Frank Thring]

Papley, Blakey and Heeney worry me.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Papley, Blakey and Heeney worry me.

I expect they're the ones we'll target with some off the ball shenanigans.

It's time for some old school Clarko!

Just realised Sydney's onfield ownership of us goes right back to the Pagan days.

At the peak of our Carey days they upset us in 1995 and from then on have beaten us in many legitimate and less than legitimate ways ever since.

Thankfully we got them on the big day but no matter where we are on the ladder they usually knock us over.

They are to us as we are to Richmond.

Once we went to the SCG for home games, thats when it turned

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Despite all the coming and goings at the selection table, it’s really can our game plan and mental temperament hold up to theirs over 4 QTRs.

If those assigned to tagging/negating roles win those contests, and we have a lift from the 16-23 ranked players up to 10%, we “might” be a chance.

In 2025 those early matches we were coming up against sides with a lot of their players injured. We went in thinking this we’ll be easy and got pantsed. Switch on lads from the first toss up.

 

[tinket]

Don’t know why, but I’m confident we’ll give this a shake.

Hopefully Dawson in means Trembath can spend more time deep fwd.

We are getting a home ground advantage at Marvel. I'm giving us a solid chance at home.

Sigh
You made me go down this rabbit hole KC

So from Round 13 1990 through to Round 11 1994. We are 8 from 8. And not just 8 wins, these were proper beltings.
Average winning margin for us was 57 points lol


Then from round 15 1995 through to round 19 2025 we have met on 46 occasions.
The record is 11W and 34 losses. 1 Draw. 11 wins in 30 years. Its bad. Its very ****ing bad.


Only saving grace is finals are 2-2 with us getting the chocolates in 1996 and in Goodes last AFL game. That's all we have over them.
