Potentially controversial opinion

If Aliir proves competent as a shorter, mobile ruckman with a high leap (in the Ryder mould) then he should never play in defence again. Those players are just too valuable

Its a huge ask for Aliir though. We're really lacking a good ruck presence

On the 2ay to the G go Swans big w8n need3led

Needled? Wrong team!

We'll see but IMO his intercept marking is too valuable.

 

[SSwans2011]

Heppell late out.

 

[Donza]

No match day---but Heppell is out..Langford in

 

[Ticky009]

Needs a game day thread? Who’s up?

 

[Prez]

Needled? Wrong team!

Fat fingers ahhh but very appropriate

 

[Edmund hunt]

Heppell ruled out for the Bombers

 

[SSwans2011]

Pretty big game here. Win this and next week and I'll start to believe finals are a possibility. Next week Essendon play North so we should move ahead of at least one of them if we keep winning. Port have a few difficult fixtures coming up too. I think we're just as good as all the teams we're competing with (North, Essendon, Hawthorn, Port, Freo) and it's really just a question now of whether we left our run too late.

Never a boring season with this club at least!

Swans haven't defeated Essendon at the MCG in 96 years according to the AFL website.

Only played them there like 9 times in that period though and not once since 2004. Clickbait.

 

[The King!]

Heppell is overrated anyway

Swans should win easily

Then it’s time to break the hoodoo. I feels it in me bones

Nice percentage booster ahead of a tougher match next week.

Records are made to be broken, the law of averages and all that jazz.

Smash the doper trash!

Forward line could struggle.

Today will be a JPK game

agree

umps only thing stopping us here

I am actually hoping it will be a Hewett day as Hewett is the future of this midfield. Would be very happy for Kennedy to have a strong game as well though.

Rampe to be penalised after getting shoved into the post after the siren gifting Essendon a goal and pulling the margin back to a modest 15 goals costing us crucial percentage.

Media to ignore it.

I’m tipping Essendon to win in the last 20 seconds if our recent history is anything to go by

 

[The King!]

mooney says Blakey best swan forward with buddy out

 

[swannyfan]

We have a good overall record against essendon, but they smacked us last yr at etihad. Their mids ran rings around us and were so dominant it was all over red rover by 1st qrtr. The MCG brings an intrigue. Leaning towards dons slightly but heppell out will help.

Don't forget

 

[Punts]

Bigger deck will be interesting for us imo

Could possibly be shown up on the outside and by there running HB
