Preview Sydney Swans vs Geelong Cats, Rd 7, Saturday May 1 @ SCG

[Jack Lord]

Too easy to put the boot in after an insipid performance. The truth is we're a young team beset by injuries. And everyone of us expected the ups and downs.

Well, we've had the down. Now the up.

We've got a good record against the cats. And a good shellacking by the Suns might be just the wake up call we need.

I'm not expecting miracles. Just an upset.

Swans by 4.

 

[scaryness]

No Rampe = a drubbing

Hawkins and Cameron with no key defenders...

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Within 12 goals would be a good result expecting more changes from today game.

 

[Punts]

COR will play for hewett

I can’t see Sinclair playing this week

Campbell needs a run it the 2s imo

Lloyd should be dropped

 

[lazy77]

No chance. We're nowhere near good enough. I don't see us winning against anyone for a while.

 

[Swan4Life]

Cameron kicked 3.2 in his return.

We do not have a matchup for him and Hawk.

Geelong by 50+

 

[Superstar swan]

Would like to see Lloyd dropped but that won’t happen.

Blakey out for stephens

Hopefully rampe gets up

 

[wills2g]

Mills plays defence the entire game or JPK goes out.

Lloyd out, play Ling. Dawson can take kick ins, we don't need his rubbish.

Can we get some two way runners? Watch any other AFL game, and teams have their mids help defensively and offensively. Ours are non-existent and lazy.

 

[Punts]

They might rest gulden and play bell

 

[SSwans2011]

We'll give them such a drubbing that the Richmond win will be underwhelming by comparison.

 

[Millky95]

Might watch the 2014 game instead

 

[TheMase]

Out: Blakey (inj), Hewett (inj), Brand (inj)
In: Stephens, COR, McCartin (if not available then I guess one of O’Connor or Gould, terrible debut playing KPD but what do you do)

Leaving Campbell to have a run in the twos

Could interchange COR for Ling but I think COR has the better form line.

 

[Kapers]

Might watch the 2014 game instead

Let's all agree to accidentally watch that recording and comment on that game instead.

 

[Swan4Life]

OUT: Heeney's glove

 

[Tedeski]

Sydney Swans: 5.8 38
Geelong Cats: 20.14 134

 

[Tedeski]

In: It doesn't matter.
Out: It matters not.

 

[Tedeski]

OUT: Heeney's glove

If you have to play with a protective device, you shouldn't be playing.

 

[Tedeski]

Out: Blakey (inj), Hewett (inj), Brand (inj)
In: Stephens, COR, McCartin (if not available then I guess one of O’Connor or Gould, terrible debut playing KPD but what do you do)

Leaving Campbell to have a run in the twos

Could interchange COR for Ling but I think COR has the better form line.

Play them both.
In the forward line to see if they can lay one more tackle than Paps.

 

[Tedeski]

Forfeit!
We won't lose percentage that way!
Ugghhhh!
I'm out of insults.

 

[Punts]

Blakey will get up if only a cork

Is fox available?

 

[Tedeski]

Blakey will get up if only a cork

Is fox available?

You have to pay for it.
I wouldn't get it this year. Wait until we are good. Real good!

 

[caesar88]

I would like to see:

OUT - Hewett (if injured?), Brand (if injured?) and Blakey.

IN - COR, McCartin (if fit?), Stephens.

Kinda temped to say one of Wicks/Gulden/McInerney who have all struggled in recent weeks but not sure I'm a fan of mass changes atm...

 

[Superstar swan]

Don’t think cor is the answer. Need to get mccartin and stephens in

This is what irritates me. IT IS NOT THE YOUNGER PLAYERS BUT THE EXPERIENCED ONES.

OUT: Heeney's glove
