Game Day Rd 17 Eagles VS Swans

[Millky95]

Game day everyone.

Swans by 10. Heeney the difference with 2 late 4th term goals.

40 - 20 in the free kick count

 

[Stereophonic]

No way you guys will get 20 free kicks ;-)

 

[Superstar swan]

Got a good feeling about this week

 

[SilentHunter_]

Must win game from all perspectives, top 4 will be locked away if we win, morale boost after the hiding last week and an away win against another top 8 side for the season won't do any harm.

 

[Cadsky]

Yeahhhh..... weagles by 47. Just want to see xr, Heeney, Jones have an impact.

 

[Punts]

Wce by 29

 

[RUNVS]

XR is the player I am going to be most focused on today. I really want him to have a good game, showing that he can make it at an AFL level. If he does then there goes a couple of our problems.

 

[PVF]

Swans by 1. The rivalry is reignited.

 

[DAZZA_75]

Without stating the obvious today's game is absolute crucial for us to win, with Richmond losing last night, if we win will be 2 games clear in 4th with Richmond playing Hawthorn next. I have absolute no confidence on how we will play, although we hold no fears playing at Domain Stadium so that is one positive. Let's just hope we put in a better performance then last week because if we don't I think we can finally put 2015 to bed. If they have any pride, which is what champion teams do they will do what ever they have to, to get themselves over the line, we will see today if any of that bloods culture is still amongst the group, time will tell.

[Kennedy Parker]

Important game, boys will rise to the occasion and lift after last week's drubbing.

Jack to lead from the front 30+ disposals.

X.Richards to hold his opponent to only a single goal.

Franklin to kick 6

West Coast by 11.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Some very bold predictions with how we are tracking but nice to see some positivity scattered amongst the "Eagles by lots".

 

[Troystenvic]

Swans by 16. We will find a way.

 

[Jack2Jack]

Our Josh Kennedy's 150th, if there is ever such thing as lifting for a milestone then surely this is it. He's carried the other boys so many times in victory and defeat, and his 2012 season is the main reason most of them can call themselves premiership players... if they owe anyone a committed 100% effort regardless of the result, it's Kennedy.

Can just see it now though, we'll concede too many easy centre breaks to the Eagles (only exception when 'the milestone man' gets the ball), get pinned in our half, where most the better ball using sides struggle to find a way through 'the web'. If the Eagles kick straight it could get nasty.
Up the other end Buddy will probably be our only real goal source again, other taller forwards will probably be out-marked/out-bodied by someone like Brad Sheppard. That's if there's ever a man inside our forward line to begin with, they'll probably all push to far up the ground and let 3 or 4 loose eagles hang out the back.
Haven't played a game style remotely good enough to beat the eagles since about round 8. So it's not just 1 bad result to reverse, it's half a season of ordinary form that needs to be reversed, that usually doesn't happen overnight. Especially using the shitful game-plan we've settled on. Usually optimistic but just can't be about this game, because can't see Horse changing the game-plan to suit today's opposition. Should probably thank Freo for beating Richmond..allows us to pretend we're a top 4 side for another week.

 

[PVF]

Useless stat to make me feel good:

Average goals against Sydney:

Kennedy - 2.2 (Kept him goal less four times)
Darling - 1
LeCras - 0
Hill - 0.6

 

[PVF]

Also guys, I forgot to put on my lucky Sydney Swans undies last week so that's why we lost.

Have got them on today.

Have got them on today.

Not only that, my mum didn't do her puzzle like she normally does when the footy is on until about half way through the 2nd (when we started winning) and my sister came home during half time and stayed home.

 

[MarkP]

Can't see us scoring enough to win.

Bet XR is sub.....

 

[BloodRet]

Got a good feeling. Reckon we'll get the job done by 28. Optimistic? So what, I have no reason not to be. We haven't lost to them since 07 and we are the heavy underdogs, something the Swans have always thrived on.

 

[DAZZA_75]

Can Stewart Dew please be a late inclusion today.

 

[brad cooper]

On my way to game. 2005 premiership scarf flying out the car, 2012 premiership stubby holder has just got its first beer.

Swans by 4 points.
Sam Reid to be best in ground.
Adam Goodes will be public enemy number 1.
Our midfield to kick at 80% efficiency!
