If clubs had to pay their own way, they'd be going up on a Greyhound bus.

Unless the game is in Wangaratta

Their big inside mids will get our soft outside players next time lmao.

Probably knows that comment will buy him another 12 months grace with their chip on the shoulder fans.

Yep. Gotta keep up appearances for the nuffie brigade. Well played Shaw.

 

[ghostdog]

I’m gonna suggest that no, no wind had been gotten.

Probably safer that way.

 

[Runk]

I'm sure the feelings mutual you golum looking motherf***er

Christ on a cracker, what filter are the AFL using on their cameras? Rhys looks like that bloke I gave $10 to at Flinders St Station so he could get home back to Reservoir to see his kids cos he no cash.......WAIT??? (there's no filter) THAT WAS RHYS!!!!

16 days to go!

God this the most hilarious furphy perpetuated by them. I know you're joking but we have smashed them in inside ball over our past 3 or 4 games against them.

 

[Ambrosia]

Key matchups for us to worry about are Heeney, Franklin and Kennedy (who seems to regularly carve us up winning high quality inside ball)

Rampe on SEN wasnt fully confident that Buddy would get up for the rd 2 game.

As i say that, Sam McClure is reporting a hammy a training

I definitely fear his game breaking ability but I would be worried as a swans fan about his training habbits during lock down. Have similar Stringer fears.

Hurley beat Buddy last time he played us back in 2018, But I think I'd rather have Ambrose on Buddy, I'd also rather Heeney play in the middle more than forward against us.

I think we'll largely go head to head in the middle, they'll try send Hewett to Merrett perhaps.

Heeney is capable of a huge impact up forward. Ridley theoretically is a very good matchup for him

Good for us but sad for footy, I wanna see him kick 1000 goals, his body is really letting him down.

 

[Runk]

Hurley high fiving everyone right now

Very true. Hopefully back for round 3.

 

[Milanista28]

Ambrose could tag Heeney all day tbf, gets him when forward and goes with him in the middle.

Hewett loves Shiel.

 

[Milanista28]

Hewett loves Shiel.

Shiel was our best vs Freo as well so yeah probably correct.

 

[Milanista28]

We should be able to keep them to under 60 points with Buddy and Reid missing? They may play Naismith and Sinclair?

They didn't play Sinclair in round 1 despite him being available so I expect they'll again go with a smaller forward line.

I think that will suit us.

It can potentially confuse the s**t out of us.

Plenty of unknowns for sure. I do think we are the more advanced football team and should be beating Sydney anywhere, Swans even used the word rebuild last year so if we can't get them now...
