Preview Sydney Swans vs Geelong Cats, Friday March 25 @ 7:50pm, SCG

[Kiama Chris]

Big job for our defenders, but I suspect Horse already knows that. The corresponding game last year was the only one where he played Mills in defence for the full game.

As a collective they'd want to be better than they were on Saturday arvo.

Need a much more competent start. Cats would kill those errors.

I’m assured they’re going to adopt the usual game day routine - a spritely game of bingo, before boarding the Greyhound Bus and enjoying a nice Barry Manilow sing-along.

I hear their supporters check the obituaries to see who is out each week.

 

[Ticky009]

I'm glad the main group got tired of chasing Jezza and just let him come back in his own time.

 

[Punts]

Weather looking no good

 

[caesar88]

If we're lucky he might get really sick and then die before friday

Really hoping someone has hacked your account at time of posting this?

 

[SGBeach]

Yep Lloyd and Warner for Stephens and Sheldrick for me too.

Stephens sub

lots of drop Stephens, Sheldrick chatter
A tall might go out due to weather.. or
how about Sheldrick and Wicks? Warner, Heeney, Parker, Gulden, Campbell can all rotate through the forward line and put on alot of pressure.

Horse has heaps of options, which 1 - is great.. and 2 - hes good at using those options

[Punts]

Isn’t there weather warnings for Friday with all the rain?

I hope you are right. 5 hours of no rain should have the SCG pretty dry.

 

[SGBeach]

2 weeks ago I played footy on the beach with the kids while we had 800mm.. and people are worried about 15-25mm during the day,, of a night game! We played pretty well and the Swans are truckloads better than me and the kids..
Swans by 6 goals

Lots of it is being walked back. For Sydney.

I won't turn this into too much of a weather thread. However let's just the focus is unfortunately back up the Northern rivers.

 

[Donza]

I hope you are right. 5 hours of no rain should have the SCG pretty dry.

Homebush had 45mm last weekend before the bounce. Was surprisingly ok.

This is a pretty similar forecast.

Wait, this isn't the BOM homepage?

 

[Donza]

Wait, this isn't the BOM homepage?

At least there won't be dew...

When it happens, it happens.

let it be Friday at SCG

John Longmire brushes off concerns about game delay if and when Buddy reaches milestone

John Longmire isn’t spending any time worrying about what to do with his players if and when Lance Franklin kicks goal 1000. It’s all but certain fans will flock onto the ground when the milestone is reached, likely leading to a lengthy delay in play. But speaking on 3AW, Longmire said he wasn’t...

He’s still up on the Gold Coast. Unlikely to appear at the SCG.

Sounds like McInerney is 50/50. Hypertension injury of knee with knee joint sprain. Long season ahead and with a potentially greasy surface, I'd rest JMac. Makes team selection a little easier with Lloyd a straight swap. Warner needs to come in for either a tall (McDonald) or Sheldrick / Wicks.

 

[Punts]

Spewing about jmac ,
Need him

 

[Punts]

Hopefully not to bad as he went for that big dash in the last quarter on the weekend

 

[Donza]

Warner for Sheldrick.
Lllooooooyyyyydddd for Jmac.

 

[caesar88]

I'd hope we don't take any risks with McInerney. We just don't need to and I'd rather him miss say two weeks now than be cooked for half the season down the road.

I'd hope we don't take any risks with McInerney. We just don't need to and I'd rather him miss say two weeks now than be cooked for half the season down the road.

Think this was my exact argument in Round 2 last year for the kids (not to necessarily miss Round 2 but to be rested early) which was rubbished and then Campbell and Gulden missed a chunk of the season.
