Sydney v West Coast

[ben.carbonaro]

What are everyone's thoughts on our chances against West Coast over in Perth this weekend ?

Personally, I have tipped against my own side for the first time in a very long time. Our form against West Coast at Subiaco has been not good, but in the overall head to head we are onlg behind by two

Head To Head
OVERALL: West Coast 15 Sydney 13 Drawn 0
AT SUBIACO: West Coast 8 Sydney 3 Drawn 0
SINCE 2000: West Coast 2 Sydney 5 Drawn 0

I wouldnt count the Swans out yet, we've shown that with our backs against the wall that our boys can pull out a result. Sadly enough, Subiaco is the last ground you want to be travelling to. Especially when you are trying to get out of a form slump. Eagles by 5 goals.

Don't know where you get your stats from, but this is what I found.

I got them out of this weeks edition of Inside Football, must mis read something when putting them up on here.

Must have been an misprint, as you have put the stats other way around.

Will correct them.

Hello there Swanny supporters.

This might sound strange coming from an Eagles supporter (and member) but It would not surprise me in the least if you guys got us in this game. It is meant to be wet, miserable conditions (remember that final - Im sure you do) and you guys could make it a real scrap. Also West Coast could fall into the trap of reading all the garbage that people write about them being flag favourites and all that and get big heads and show no respect. I personally have tipped the Eagles in a very close one. But today after work put a lazy $50 on the swans incase you win to collect close to $300. That way if Eagles win Im happy and if Swans win at least I have made a bit of cashish!

Anyway - Here is hoping for a classic match!

GO EAGLES

lol, cashish

West Coast by 15 goals.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

That's a bit too much and shows a bit of over confidence if you were to ask me.

 

[Half Back Flanker]

The way we are playing this game is scaring me... I think we are going to get killed out there.

 

[Sid]

Never tipped against sydney. I'm confident we have the ability to perform well against any team.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

What a mistake to make Sid, we are not very good according to what I read on redandwhiteonline.

Did anyone here see the game on Fox Footy, was the umpiring really that bad ?

Umpring was ********. Had no impact in the result, but in a close match it would make the difference. As for the Swans, well only one word is needed - CRAP

 

[Half Back Flanker]

The umpiring was not good Ben but there was one thing that worse..... Us, we were seriously pathetic tonight.

I hate to sound like someone who is negative on their own team and while I wont be doing any Richmond supporter antics I have to be honest……….
Right now we are playing S***house and it is not all because we are missing our ruckmen. We were beaten in every aspect of the game tonight and while I will accept we are playing the top team at the moment but if there is no rapid improvement I don’t believe there will be finals footy for us this year.

 

[Minkus_Swan]

Aweful, just a aweful game. Apart from a few minutes in the first quarter, we had plenty of passengers tonight.

Our movement and kicking into the forward 50 was abysmal. No wonder Hall was so fustrated near the end of the game. We lacked hardness at the ball, apart from the first quarter. Some of the skill errors reminded me of the early 90's swans - and we've been belted all year because of them.

If Roos has any guts he'll drop Kennelly - he's just lost any type of form. Lewis Roberts-Thomson is the worst skilled player I have seen in the last 5 years. He just has no idea what to do if he gets the ball.

On the bright side, at least that's over. We can only get better from here on.

 

[HighReeve]

I suggest we drop Kennelly, Bevan, Maxfield and Buchanen.

Bring in Malkeski, Schmidt, Ball if ready and Mathews if fit.

Agreed the umpires last night were totally and utterly ********... Im saying this on both account i picked out alot of blatant free-kicks which should have gone to both teams last night which werent awarded...

The umpires this season are really ********ting me they have been ******** in almsot every game ive seen in person or on TV this season

 

[music_2000]

I missed the game because I was at an NRL game and I guess that was a good thing only because the loss would have been too much to bear. at least there's next week with essendon and things will look up then I hope. the swans weren't aggressive enough that for sure

Mate I hear you, except I'm yet to see a swans game in the last 3 years that I can just sit down and just accept those aweful decisions - I guess it means we're bloody passionate about this footy club.

There should be more fans like you at swans games - I get frowned upon for abusing umpires? Go figure.

Jolly didn't play last week, is he injured, out of form?

I always have respect for his efforts.


Do you think he should be in?

Suspended on a joke of a charge.
Will be in this week for sure.
