Preview R17 - Swans v Dockers

[bedford]

I actually think it was noticeably worse last week.

Normally only one side (us) slips over.

Last week both sides were doing it.

It was like Bambi on Ice …. If Bambi had a dozen schooners.

Bambi and i could get together

Freo will be up and about for this game. Over the summer I was (unwillingly) at a Dockers function at the pub where Sam Switkowski

was making an appearance, and he mentioned the corresponding game from last year where they ended our winning streak was the best win a lot of their players had been involved in and that it was a real turning point in the culture of their team. He also gave our midfield specifically a bit of a whack, which I thought was interesting.

The two teams' circumstances are a lot different this time around, so hopefully that works in our favour this time.

Looking at the radar , it seems the big rainband has gone , asking for local input

Certainly has from up here on the Central Coast, even got some blue sky peeping through the cloud.

Maybe we bring in Ladhams to have a 1/2 punch like the Dockers will he doing?

Makes a lot of sense.

That's no good , more important than players slipping over

Kiama still very wet and windy. 155mm in the last 24hrs. 80kph gusts. Better than yesterday believe it or not!

Move the game to Optus.

We always win there. And I'd rather like to pop along to the game this weekend.

 

[caesar88]

So if it rains and it's a wet weather game, who is to blame if players slip over a lot?

Houses on the next couple of beaches around from mine had to be evacuated, such was the surf. It was crazy.

I'll go along with that, we seem to play better away from home this year.

The Lord

 

[dosser]

Be good if somehow we could get an overhead view of the ground , i presume the pitch covers will be down.
Amazing in Ceylon for the cricket is that they cover the whole ground for cricket

I think they do the same in Rhodesia.

BoM observations, Sydney Airport at 4pm Tuesday - 23mm since 9am.

Agenda Setters and Footy Classified last night both saying that the AFL are sending their 'turf expert' up to inspect the SCG.

A couple of forecast fine days Friday and Saturday, before the Sunday game.
All the same, it's going to be nervy stuff on game day.

Bullshit.
Could be flying choppers non stop 24x7 to dry the surface.

Lazy staff. Get in your choppers.

Is this what they call a helicopter punt?

 

[rustycrate]

Is this what they call a helicopter punt?

Yep. Just get lots of guys to do it.
It's a kick that spins side to side rather than end over end like a drop punt should. Like a helicopter.
Surface will be dry with lazy ground staff in their helicopters and lots of guys doing helicopter punts.

Now I was at the Dogs game last week at the SCG, and I noticed that the coverage via my iphone (radio station) was delayed by about 30 seconds............is there a way to get the coverage on radio broadcast simultaneously with the game whilst watching?

Am assuming I have to buy some sort of portable walkman /radio ?
