Have at it

First! Swans by 50+. No danger game, yes it's not Collingwood. It's Carlton FFS.

 

[Jack Lord]

Damn you, Swans.

Last week I had blissfully low expectations and enjoyed the unexpected delight of flogging Eddie and his pissweak pies. Now my expectations are sky high, and anything less than a 40 point win will be a disappointment.

Buddy with five goals. Heeney, Parks and the Pap with two a piece. Luke to bank three more Brownlow votes.

Red birds by 41.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

woop, woop!

 

[Punts]

Swans by 17 , closer than we think and might get frustrating


Mitchell best on , heeney moves into the mids
Buddy and Papley combined for 9

 

[Millky95]

Swans by 30

No injuries, crack the 100 mark again please

Round of upsets - Lets hope we don't have complacency with this match. Carlton were with us for most of the Nab challenge though it did always seem like we had their measure. Quite the test after exceeding expectations in round 1, if we are any threat for top 4 this year then we have to win this comfortably. We seem to be a different team in some of our Melbourne visits. Hope the boys put on a show for the loyal Melbourne based fans, cheer them loud and proud. Good luck to Ted Richards in his first game for what could be his last year, lot of judgemental eyes watching for his fall. Good luck Teddy prove them wrong.

If Richmond are 10 points better than Carlton and the Pies are 1 point better than Richmond and we're 80 points better than the Pies we should win this by 90.

God I wish it worked like that. C'MON SWANS!!

 

[vonn]

Shall get to the savoy closer to 3/3:30! Think Bonz will be too.

 

[Tuco]

Tackle hard, win the ball, have the chains leading towards goal and away from the boundary, find a forward or a crumber, kick a goal. Rinse and repeat.

40 points. No disrespect. But the form line against Richmond has been shown up to be a mirage. The Tigers are struggling horribly.

I think Bolton has pulled the Blues into a competitive unit. And any competitive unit can win. But we should have the weapons today.

I'll be at the Savoy from 1ish...keen to watch the Giants-Cats game

 

[Cadsky]

Ohh but i was so looking forward to parachuting in.

Such a beautiful day. Why would they close the roof?

Main thing I want to see is the game style and attacking ball movements from last week carried on with, to start proving it wasn't a one off....mistakes will happen playing that style and we'll get burnt from time to time, but don't want to see us go back into our shell and get stagnate/timid with our ball use.
As long as we continue to play the 'right' style of footy couldn't care less about winning margins, whether we 100+ etc. Would like to see us kick a hell of a lot straighter in front of goal though.

 

[MF]

I reckon Franklin might kick 6+ today.

I reckon Franklin might kick 6+ today.

He does love Etihad so I wouldn't be surprised.

Accuracy burnt a few teams so far this weekend, don't want to join them. Want consistency in efforts, will be interesting to see how Lloyd goes today.

Swans by 46

Expect Carlton to be quite competitive for a half today, but we should be able to pull away. Carlton don't have much up forward to hurt us so we should be able to keep them under 10 goals. Buddy to kick 5, Papley to kick 4.

 

[Blacky]

You're tipping 0 goals for buddy?

Bold!

Great news for all those swans fans watching it on tv today, Dermie is doing the GWS game, we won't have to put up with his anti swans commentary.

Have the eagles hawks game

 

[Punts]

Better be switched on today

 

[Jeffers]

I hope Teddy adjusts to the new deliberate rules. Does look to the boundary line a lot when under pressure.

 

[Tuco]

Those in the ground will never know...but if you do try parachuting in at least I'll be able to put a face to your name watching up here in Sydney.
