Preview Sydney Swans v Melbourne Sunday 27th August 3 20pm, The farewell.

[caesar88]

Really hope we're not flat after last weeks game. Was pretty intense.

Spare a thought for Melbourne though, whose game last week was arguably more intense and difficult than ours. I heard they're so distraught over the Finn Maginness tag on Clayton Oliver that both player and coach might be taking personal leave this week. Watch this space.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Parker, Mills & Rowbottom are a massive worry. They're our contested core and the ones we will need firing in finals more than anyone and I don't think as a collective they've ever been more anonymous in games.

Their second halves last week - Parker 6 touches, Mills 6 touches, Rowbottom 4 touches.

We won't do anything in September with that.

Don’t worry. Sheldrick will be back any week now.

Won’t he?

Its exactly what they said

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Yes - this will give the Crow fans time to organise their protest march on AFL House, and order salt for their scones potato scallops.

Spotted a keystroke error there Ticky.

 

[the hypnotoad]

I was only joking about the protest march ...but once again I could be proved wrong

at least those guys now have jobs

 

[the hypnotoad]

Personally, I find it bloody fantastic that I can watch this week's game without stress.

Thanks to a goal umpire and Norf's interchange steward.

that's the story yet to be told ... north sacked that interchange steward, several days later he applied to the afl to be a goal umpire ...

 

[the hypnotoad]

people listing stuff he doesn't like

hahahaha ... this should have its own thread

 

[Kiama Chris]

One thing I'm delighted about is that Francis is a fair chance to be playing finals, something that would never have happened if he'd stayed at the Bombers. Must bring a smile to his face. Sure does to mine!

 

[swanssince2002]

We are like the Average Joes team in Dodgeball where the team lost but because someone on the other team got tested positive we were in the final tournament by default. Has a feeling of that sort of a season.

Barely scraped by in some of our wins. The interchange steward in the Norf game, I was laughing...

Fairytale ending please.

 

[Swan4Life]

I kinda want it to rain.

Swans were all over adelaide in the rain/mist/mizzle.

When it dried up. It allowed the crows more chances.

Its around 90% chance of showers on sunday. So yeah.

Well I sit undercover at the SCG so I'll sign up for that.

Not too sure the Red Zone crowd will be on board but it sounds like they won't have a choice.

and the team starts training most nights with longmire throwing wrenches at them!

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I don't blame North for sacking him, was still on performance watch after failing to alert the AFL stewards when Sydney had 19 men on the field in 2008.

 

[bedford]

Big game THIS Sunday

 

[bedford]

Better forecast for Sunday

 

[Donza]

Better forecast for Sunday

Yeah.

Will check it tomorrow though. Models are still a bit unsure.

 

[bedford]

Yeah.

Victorias Secret ones i hope

Ya makes yer own luck.

 

[Superstar swan]

I don't want to mess with a performing team but I'd love to give either logan or mclean a week off the freshen up.

Bring buller in , at the very least gets some experience against quality opposition in case he is needed grand final week

FFS THEY GET A WEEK OFF

If anyone is deserving of a breather it would be McLean. He has got through a power of work. He is seeming to thrive on the added responsibility, which is a great sign.

They have a week off for the finals bye, I reckon they continue to go full throttle and earn a home final.

[Swan4Life]

Has there ever been less interest in a game thread that could bring us a home final?

 

[MR0808]

Has there ever been less interest in a game thread that could bring us a home final?

I'd say yes. A lot of interest from me. A win will stop people. Saying we don't deserve to be in the finals, means we can focus on winning
