Have to to pay that GWS song, I love it.

Swans by 7 goals.

 

[The City Boyz]

CH7 are doing this live right?

[Jaffa Fan]

So excited. Cracking day after some rain last night. Go Giants!

Todays the day our club comes of age. Couldn't be more proud of everyone involved at the club. Looking forward to a great day across the road from Spotless.
Cant have a game without an opposition so a team called the Swans are coming too. Apparently they've gone allright this year, but they must be nervous coming up against our guys.
Let's hope for a good game with 44 fit players at the end of it for next week.

GWS by 99 luft balloons

or 99 points

 

[Skipper_]

Late Changes:
GWS: Jeremy Cameron replaced by Israel Folau

Folau to kick 0.10. in a shootout against Buddy who wins kicking 0.11. Mummy kicks the goal of the year after taking the kicking then playing on and steamrolling 18 Swans players. Folau has a kick after the siren to win the game but deliberately misses from the goal-square after watching last night's game. GWS is awarded the win and the No. 1 Draft Pick as a PP for not winning every game. Callum Mills announces his retirement from AFL because of how impressed he was of Folau and transfers to rugby.
Prediction: Gill - "f*** you crappy NRL campaigners"

Battle of the Club Songs.

Love GWS's song.

But only we have a f***ing banjo solo.

Can't top that.

 

[catters05]

Will they get 70k? How is the weather?

Looking forward to this one, even though still struggling to get off the high from last night.

The next AFL team needs bagpipes in theirs!!

Giants to win

Cmon boys lets kill them

Doubt it - will go close, but I think we'll just miss the 70k.

Changeable. Rained over night, nothing so far this morning. Bright blue skies, clouds, bright blue skies, cloud. Wind has a bit of a bite to it.

And kazoos.

Anybody know how the playing surface is?

 

[Zevon]

Wind has a bit of a bite to it.

Yeah quite blustery isn't it. Could have quite an impact on both teams foot skills if it hangs around

 

[Bokonon]

Rain overnight and a perfect sunny day, the footy gods are smiling on us. Swans will also benefit by association

 

[Ticky009]

No NRL games this week, should be perfect.

 

[Crawb]

Will they get 70k? How is the weather?

Looking forward to this one, even though still struggling to get off the high from last night.

Looking like 60K+. Chance at being the 3rd highest attendance at venue/outside of Victoria behind 2003 Swans V Collingwood and 2003 Prelim if it goes 65K+

 

[Helen Wheels]

No NRL games this week, should be perfect.

Hope so. Sometimes it looks like they've got half of Bondi beach dumped there and covered with a green mat. Bloody disgraceful.

 

[SuperSub17]

It's been 10 years since 4th has beaten 1st in their QF - today is probably the biggest chance of it happening in a long time.

Swans by 13 points.
