Banter Round 8 Sydney v Complete *******

[MARK In TIME]

Can we have a 'banter' thread so those of us not partial to reading their holier than thou BS don't have to go near it? I like inclusive and earnest footy discussion, but I just don't feel like there is going to be anything cordial and friendly about this week.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Great get them the week after they crap on the dees and as they get players back

lol. They call us the cola swan$ on their board so you can call them whatever you want here.

Actually....We call you alot worse than that!

 

[Number37]

Go the biff? What will that achieve?

Let's play footy and beat them that way. We are good enough.
That is not say don't stand up.

Exactly. We can't all be Hodge.

Because we need to show intent and be physical obviously dont go for king hits but make them earn everything.

Look how weak we were when it mattered.

I think we need a separate banter thread this week otherwise we may not have any discussion of the actual game

They dislike us we dislike them now let the thread proceed its natural course

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Anyways we will see how much they want to atone for their embarrassment in the GF.

All for that but I actually want to talk about the game!

 

[The King!]

So bird back to tag mitchell or lewis?

 

[RUNVS]

All for that but I actually want to talk about the game!

After watching the first half against Geelong I have a reasonable match preview against Hawthorn ready to go

Good idea

Ok Tippett cant play that shit awful footy like tonight

Reid was non existent
Pyke is putrid with Ball
Shaw is shaw Gregson beat him
Goodes is still slowish at times but worked into it imo think im alone there

Rohan tried hard but didnt get much of it

Hawthorn will expose all of that for a start

Disagree. Let's do what we do best, being campaigners is not the Swans way. We have seen two of the hardest of hard nuts of all time in red & white (Kelly + Bolton) and both went hard at the footy. We will do far more damage attacking the ball with gusto and beating them on the scoreboard.

I know it is not a popular opinion around these parts, but we are just as good as Hawthorn, they have to produce their absolute best each and every time to beat us.

Focus on the positives we cant play any worse than what we did in the GF right?

Hodge makes them 12-15 goals better

On pure talent they have us covered in every position.

Midfield = Hawthorn
Forward = Hawthorn
Defence = Hawthorn

I have reasonable gossip that the guy who cleans their boots is better as well.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hodge makes them 12-15 goals better

Agreed if they rush Lake back its probably a desperation move, Hodge is like their leader down back they look completely lost without him

Like they rushed rioli back in the gf

Backfired hey

Do they have their own version of Kenny?

 

[The King!]

Look horse just dont let mitchell and lewis have 30 plus each ffs then we may have a chance

Maybe it will backfire this time.

Disagree.

The only difference IMO is they have sublime footskills across the park.

Our run 2 ways has only ever been exposed by Hawthorn, because kicking the ball is faster than a player running with it. When we beat them in the 2012 GF we moved the ball just as good as them from end to end with elite kicking.

That would Dermot wouldn't it?
