Unofficial Preview Sydney V StKilda unofficial preview

[Wolftone]

Good discussion and it’s all opinion of course

I’d have better

Franklin
Parker
Kennedy
Aliir
Heeney
Papley
rampe

A lot of your better than jones players don’t match him in output but each to their own


On par for me is Mills but I’d give the edge to Jones at the moment having said that Mills took a massive leap the second half of the year imo

I think next year Dawson will be certainly better at his current rate

Of the 8 you said would improve for forgetting wether they go past Jones or not

Blakey*
Florent*
McCartin*
Hayward*
Rowbottom*
O'Riordan*
McLean*
Bell

I’d remove bell and McLean barely seen much of them and not sure we can have any certainty they even play next year the others I’d except to take another step though Florent and Hayward didn’t this year so who knows

Again all opinion

My big concern would be buddy falling out of the list if body is stuffed again because presuming like you he is still a top player for us

Also I’d expect Kennedy to drop next year maybe even out of the top 10

In his last 3 games Florent has had 28, 29 & 28 and was awarded the Coaches Best for the Dees game. If you don't call that improvement then I don't know what is

This is a huge game for the club if Macca & Kizza both get up.

Leave Buds 300th to next season. Give him a pre-season. Use it as the build up to 2020. Something to look forward to to open the year up.

Leave thsi game as solely a farewell game for Macca & Kizza (& Smitty & Reg, indirectly, of course).

Since we became The Sydney Swans in the 80's, Bud, along with Lockett and the 2005 and 2012 GF victories, is THE BIGGEST thing that has happened to the club and to not celebrate such a huge achievement as his 300th game in front of his home crowd is, in my opinion anyway, unimaginable.
Unless we can be guaranteed to have a home game for round 1, 2020 - which I can't see happening because of the late finishing cricket season, he has to play on Saturday.

That’s 3 games when the season was done

We ignoring the other 18? He’s salvaged things yeah

 

[The King!]

How would it not be an event for them? He played 182 of those games, for Hawthorn. They won't boo him. He put them into the 2008 Grand Final. They don't forget those sorts of things at Hawks. A very small cadre of racist thug Hawks supporters will boo him but will be shouted down by the many.

Everybody in the footy world will applaud the greatest player to ever play the game, equal with Leigh Matthews, play 300

Hopefully they will

 

[The King!]

As I said do you really want the great man getting booed every time he touches the ball throughout his 300th?

Nope surely they wouldn’t...... maybe overestimating them

 

[The King!]

We place a lot of importance on these milestones for some reason

He did play more of them at hawthorn if he quit now he will be remembered more as a hawk probably

Surely they wouldn't boo Goodes after it's already been done to death.

Oh well detailing the thread

I just wouldn’t risk buddy to stop his 300th being away next year

If he’s fit it’s not an issue anyway

I don't think he would play unless he was absolutely fit. It's not like we're looking for headlines to bring people to the game this weekend, we've already got enough!

 

[The King!]

Wonder if reg and smooch could go through the banner

True won’t be much room on the banner

That wouldn't be in the spirit of the pride match would it?

"We're all about inclusivity. Except you Bud, we couldn't fit you anywhere."

Wasn’t suggesting leaving him off

We might need a double sized one

 

[caesar88]

I think Buddy being chaired off for his 300th, and then Reg, Smith, McVeigh and Jack walking off together after would be a fitting tribute.

Each deserves it's moment

Yeah I'm just saying I hope Buddy doesn't forgo his moment, would be something he'd do.
