Preview Round 9: Swans vs Fremantle (and SCG Family Sing-a-Long)

[Donza]

Or we could just pick someone from outside the emergency list like we did two weeks ago.

I can’t see Gus being the sub - it’d mean he wouldn’t have played a full game in nearly a month.

And if Sheather has bone bruising, I’m a bit surprised he’s even listed as an emergency.

It’d be crazy to pick McAndrew as the sub.

Which kinda leaves Dylan as the logical choice.

Sheather is playing in the reserves.

Sheather is playing in the reserves.

All of the named emergencies are listed in the VFL side.

Sheather is playing in the reserves.

That happens everyweek

 

[Donza]

As in. He's not injured.

 

[Donza]

Chance of a reasonable shower now during the 1-4pm slot. More chance after 4pm.

Will come from the south.
< 5mm at 70%.

Surely Sydney gets a covered footy and cricket stadium in the middle of Royal Randwick which would also get a retractable banner roof over the track.

If it pours down we are some hope

Swans by 28.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Papley's 150th this weekend.

Last time we won a milestone game: 3 May 1952. Swans 14.17.101 def Richmond 12.9.81 at Lake Oval.

Glad to see we lacked accuracy even back then.

 

[Dan87]

Ice up

Get Harley Reid

Get mature age recruits

Good draw next season

Pretty soft m8

And what was said milestone?

Parle pour toi!

Pretty soft m8

One of the softest swans side I have seen to

Apparently far more talented than 2012 side , 16 etc.

 

[ShireSwan]

Gould should play

To be honest not fussed about ladhams , he isn’t much

He's a lot more than Gould so far. Hoping Gould settles this week though and goes ok.

 

[ShireSwan]

Gould and Melican both struggle with the idea of staying near an opponent

Melican wasn't like that before he injured his knee playing for us. So I don't criticize him for it. Guy was on a very high trajectory before that IMO.
Like Tippet when he was playing ruck for us - was going close to AA that year IMO, got injured in our shirt and has copped non stop crap off so called Swans fans ever since.

He was always poor at marking his man imo

Im surprised he is still on the list

Wasn't brilliant but lost his speed off the mark post injury which had covered for it. Was contracted and surely heading for the exit this year until both McCartins now at risk. Must be odds on to sign a new 1 yr deal now at a fringe 22 player rate.

 

[swanssince2002]

So many woulda coulda shouldas when it comes to our KPD stocks in recent memory with Paddy obviously looking the most promising but with some unfortunate risk. AA the most painful one.

I think the recruiters realise they can't hope for the perfect KPD out there like a Steven May

[Jeffers]

Can we all give Gould a full game before writing him off as a “I told you so” dud? He has only had 2 sub appearances. 1 against someone he shouldn’t have been playing on where the midfield was doing Sfa defensive pressure and the other as just a sub.

Even if he has a dud full game this week, it’s still too early to write him off.
All the while players like Stephens has many opportunities but still underperforms but it’s all “let’s give him time”.

I feel Gould is getting a rough deal around here

Its the coaches that dont have confidence in him you will find most on here want Gould to have a crack at it.

We gave plenty of games to Bell.

 

[monopoly19]

I hope both Gould and Francis get a run of games where they play in the same position. No better time than now to find out if they’re up to it!
