Preview R17 - Swans v Dockers

[Donza]

Just hope we compete if you forget about results the year is so much easier trust me lol

Hopefully we aren’t playing any of Ladhams or Hamling types waste of time

I don't mind Ladhams.

He's been better recently.

Seemed decent enough in the ressies.

I'd rather he played than Dos.

Play a proper two ruck structure.

No thanks it doesn’t work especially in the damn wet and Buller can ruck anyway.

 

[caesar88]

Do I read anything into Rowy being named on the bench?

Could the caesar88 desire for a Rowy sub be possible?

"Desire" is probably not the right word. If I have a "desire", it would be for the pre-2025 Rowy to make a welcome return. I think we'd be a helluva lot better this year for it.

But as it stands all we are getting from him lately is some clutch tackles, so I don't think we'd notice his absence if he wasn't there. But I think those tackles are the reasons I can't see him being out of the 22 at any point. And maybe that's fair enough.

Damn wet?

19 degrees and sunny

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

You gotta go all in until it is mathematically impossible.

If the team was a long way behind in the third quarter of a game, I would never want them to give up and save energy for the next week - I would want them to fight to the bitter end.

Exactly the same with a season.


Never. Give. Up.


Ever.

If you think the ground will play like a dry track have news for you. Can we not play VFL players at best? Though maybe if we do some on here can wake up and realise we are purely and simply playing for pride from now on and should be building for next season. There’s no point coming 10th

My lawn is dry.
Why won't the SCG be?
With it's multi million dollar drainage.

Maybe I'm at odds with this "playing for pride" BS.
However I'd want every player in the 22 to give their all. To the very last moment.

Anything else is loser talk.

 

[The King!]

If Heeney can turn into superman again we might win.

Amartey and Mccartin help, I thought we left a lot to too few last week in all honesty.

Need Warner to play 4 quarters and Hayward to lift for example

 

[wolftone57]

Thats boring can we please be mathematically finished so that we can actually debut some guys

Buller stayed in. Green the next to debut. Fantastic last week onto the ground ball. Not sure about any other but Datoli.

It’s played like a wet track for a month, it’s hardly going to be that dry.

Prepare for next year and use the last games to get a form of a gameplan that’s sustainable and can we stop playing blokes that should be delisted at seasons end.

No Green is a ruck not a forward, no no no. He is still 18 months away from playing

Nah it hasn't "played like a wet track" at all .

The Paddington end is shifting under players feet.
The rest of the ground is fine.

The issue with the Paddington end is the grass and root structure is basically dead.

 

[Bloods86]

Got a week yes.

Might want to tell Freo

AFL to move Swans v Fremantle to Donza’s lawn.

I mowed it with my push mower!

Old school

 

[Bloods86]

Won't happen, but I'd take McLean, Florent and Roberts being left out of the 23 tomorrow arvo. Bice sub.

How's the catering there

Agree

Agree would let Buller ruck and have gotten Dattoli and Snell involved

 

[caesar88]

I still feel like Cleary has too much of what we lack to not be in this team.

Like sorry but we are nowhere near good enough as a team to be turning our noses up at a guy with slick hands and superb tackling & closing speed.

He is another loss away from just being chucked on ball for the rest of the season in the 1s side

He needs more yelling

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Let's see what Cox has to say at his presser tomorrow.

I think Florent will be the other out for Bice (sub?), and he, Hamling and Ladhams will be the emergencies, with Ladhams in if they have to make a late change for say Amartey or Mclean.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Might want to tell Freo

Did he get off? Oh well like watching him anyway
