Preview Sydney Swans vs Western Bulldogs - A Hidden Message Enjoyed By All

[Kbroome]

Genuinely can't go a week without an injury

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Amartey injured. It never ends this year does it

Must have been from his goalkicking lol

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Amartey out is big - he was good other than his goal kicking and provided a good target (and hence structure) forward.

 

[RilesMacca]

Amartey out stings, gave us a really good aerial presence forward last week which we've been in dire need of.

Francis was unlucky being subbed out against Port, thought he competed well so keen to see how he fares.

 

[Nuggetz]

What the hell

 

[caesar88]

I would've preferred Cleary over either Lloyd or Florent. Our forward pressure sucks and that ball will just walk out of our forward 50, even with only two talls. We can't let the Bulldogs go end-to-end so easily like we did against Port, especially at the SCG.

But let's be honest if Lloyd or Florent being in is what makes us lose then we've got bigger problems anyway.

 

[strauchanie59]

McLean in and no Ladhams is...interesting.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

No Amartey means Lobb will be a loose able to roam and take infinite intercept marks.

 

[DAZZA_75]

Season over if it wasn’t already, lose structure again forward of the ball and we don’t even bring in another forward to replace Amartey, brain dead team selection, we have lost this game at the selection table

 

[Donza]

Just grubber the ball inside 50!

Ideas man

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Buller should be on his phone to his agent

 

[robbieando]

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Just ridiculous changes.

Turnovers will be "interesting"

 

[caesar88]

Buller should be on his phone to his agent

He wouldn't even get any takers. Has shown next to nothing to suggest he's up to the standard, let alone any better than McLean.

 

[TasSixer]

Francis to kick 10

Seriously though can we have just one month of a stable forward line

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Buller should be on his phone to his agent

Back to Claremont in 2026

 

[Jeffers]

Well I don’t want a repeat of us not scoring for Long periods of time and cheering behinds again.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

It does not take a lot to upset a team balance for any team, it’s entirely plausible that either of those two, with the roles they are meant to play, could be the reason for winning or losing. It doesn’t necessarily relate to bigger problems.

A few posts earlier we are lamenting Amartey and there go our chances…..it could be the same in reverse here.

 

[Nuggetz]

Deflating changes. It's that type of season for us...

 

[Dubai Quacker]

"Armatey to miss ...."

Feels like what I was thinking all game last week.

 

[Nuggetz]

Lloyd or Florent to halfback, mills to middle and Heeney fwd? Is that the thinking?

 

[kickthething]

What’s the report on Amartey…injury or illness?

 

[Nuggetz]

We shouldn't bother kicking unless it's at goal, handballs only.

Tight hammy
