While this is true, we are looking a very different team this year, so hopefully this translates to our post bye performance

There’s definitely an esprit de corps. Quite tangible.

Hey last year we started well after the bye, let me check
Oh 0.0 in the first quarter
Gates open 11.30
VFL starts 11.35
AFL walk starts 3.09
AFL starts 3.20.
Not sure if VFL is on Tramway or inside.
Earlier is generally better.

Was that the Saints game? it was one the worst 1st quarters of football from both sides
I think we all are.
EDIT: Wow, check out that transparency on dark mode.
Amazing whoever is not using dark mode is missing out

Room for all bandwag.... uh, supporters.
Chief really got this movement going all credit to him.
We've already had a bye this year, then flogged the Suns.

I hope Dangerfield is back.
This is a great chance for Swans to spell the demons from the 2022 grand final. I want Geelong at their very best and for the Swans to be absolutely fierce at the contest.
If there is one question mark about the Swans, it is their ability to play finals intensity at the coal face. This is a great opportunity to send a message to the competition.
We are front runners now. To do that well, you need to keep sending messages to the others that we are coming for them, keep remaining hungry. Let’s start unbelievably hard and be ruthless in destroying Geelong and ravage their season.
(No hate against Geelong, they are a great club)

We should crush them based on form and matchups.
There's obviously water under the bridge for both sides since 2022, but there is no way they get off the chain to that degree if Grundy, Jordon and any able bodied replacement for Reid are in that side.
They were incredible and still win, but this squad plays them a lot closer.
Anyway, here and now, we're a level above and go to 11-1 by a handy margin.

we're so far ahead of every other team in the comp that everyone needs an off day to lose
geelong's strength is their transition with the ball from the back half - its fast and open, and it will be good to see how we defend it
i dont think any other teams in the comp have better ball movement than geelong but their midfield is absolutely rubbish and chris scott is a miracle worker having won so many games with those names in there
we should smash em from the mids but will have a close eye on how we defend geelong
i kinda dont want horse to send JJ to tag holmes and just test ourselves against a very good transition team

James Jordan to Miers please and you go 80% to beating them he creates almost all their scoring opportunities.
let a defender take Miers out of the game rather than having JJ potentially having to defend
tagging a HF has its risks if they kick goals on a non-defender
Well what defender is gonna run with him?
itll be either florent or lloyd (whoever normally goes up to stoppage)
miers isnt particularly tough to match on that id be worried about either of florent or lloyd running with him
I’m salivating at the thought that we could deliver the Cats their 5th loss in a row!!!
