Game Day Sydney Swans vs West Coast Eagles

[SilentHunter_]

If there was ever a time to dig deep, it'd be tonight. The WCE in Perth are always a daunting task and with the players that are going to be out there, it doesn't inspire much confidence.

Screw it...

Swans by 4 points.

 

[SlingshotFooty]

Shouldn't be much pressure....maybe the Eagles will be looking forward to Hawthorn (since it's at the MCG) for next week. Hopefully they lose focus and we can sneak one al la what Port did to us. Not confident though, but I'll be hoping!

I just don't know.

On their dung hill? Be tough.

Horse, please stop Mitchell. Just get Foote to sit on him. Or Kizza.

I rate Foote as a defensive player. Good tackler and has really good closing speed on his opponents (Nick Smith should take notes.)

That way it also means Foote gets less of the ball, everyone on here is happy about that, and everybody wins!!

I dunno whether the kid will make it but having him run around and tag some good players can't hurt.

And just once before he gets into a Zimmer frame I just want us to restrict Mitchell to a sub 35 game


Just once.

Is that too much to ask?

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Horse will be all about worrying what wecan control and forget about Mitchell as seems often the case.

Our only chance is having one of those nights with amazing efficiency and scoreboard accuracy if we get opportunities then squander them im going to observe my mother closing the windows to consider the neighbours

Hope they have belief and bring back some bloods pressure

So i'm figuring this is a Fox footy game? On 7mate?
Its not on telly in Melbourne at all , so i doubt they'll send Bruce and co?

 

[Bonz]

This is probably our first game in quite a few years where no one really gives us much of a chance, not only does it give our kids to have a real crack, take some risks and not worry about the consequences. But it is also the type of game over the that we usually step up for.

We also generally play pretty well in Perth (Surprisingly a big deck actually suits our team), looking forward to the match tonight.

[6yearsold]

we can't get close to winning without parker, hannebery and jack winning some clearances and not leaving it all to jpk...

[The King!]

We can win if our stars perform, most of them have not this year

 

[Jussie]

Quietly optimistic for tonight, hopefully we can pull it off.

 

[V9x18]

These are the type of games we usually fire up for. Backs against the wall, travelling interstate.

Need the players who've been well below their best to get back to their form of seasons past (looking at you Parker, Grundy & Smith).

Gee we miss Rampe, don't know who else can go with Kennedy. He could kick 10.

Swans by 20

 

[brad cooper]

Cannot wait for tonight, pub crawl starts at 2pm from perth cbd to subiaco. Come on swans, we win this by 4 points, Sinclair to drop a match saving attempted mark over the boundary line to see us home.

Bloods by 11 pts
Go young ones - run free!!

 

[RookiePick]

As a visitor I must say the unofficial preview, official preview and the game day threads make things hard to follow!

I'm expecting an extremely tough encounter tonight that no one outside of Perth or Sydney will care about. I have tipped the Swans by 9 points at this stage. I just don't see how you guys are a 0-4 team...but I reserve my right to flip-flop before bouncedown!

If the West coast mids can get the ball forward with any kind of system Eagles will win. The blueprint of strong midfield pressure and fast rebound will see the Swans home if they can execute their skills on transition.

I'll be keeping an eye on your Zak Jones. He seems a good size and has some hustle. I can't see any of our medium forwards liking the attention from him an awful lot.
