Swans-Demons Predictions

[Swansinger]

Melbourne desperate to sign off on a high note and will be in the game up to ht.

Swans to get a grip in the 3rd and go on to win by 30-36 points.

Barry Hall to give us a sense of deja vu by repeating his away performance v Demons last year.No doubts he will be driven to make up for last week and will do so.

Seymour to crunch Robertson and get reported.

Doyle to kick three.

Easy game ? No. Swans win ? Yes.

I reckon the swans will win comfortably from the start. I'm hoping for a big win to boost our percentage (and our chances of making the top 4).

I reckon Neitz will have a **** game. I reckon our backliners will perform well. Midfielders will also do better than last game.

On the other thread about Ablett staying or going, i reckon he should stay because it is clear that we need some new fresh midfielders.

If it wasn't for the forecast rain I would be hoping for a really huge win but, unless the Bombers massacre the Pies, I'll settle for a comfortable one

[jixygirl]

The rain will be the biggest problem but if it doesn't win (which I'm praying for) we should almost definitely win. My margin would be around 42 points.

Remember if the Demon's win they lose the extra pick in the draft

If everyone thinks this is the reason why we're going to win, then you might be in for a big surprise. A lot of Demons will be playing for their futures, they're not going to lie down and give to game to us.

That concerns me. We just haven't had enough wet weather footy.

[BAM_BAM]

The D's had a hard fought scrappy match in the rain against Essendon and nearly pulled off a win.

If it's wet we'll win by 24. If it's dry by 60.

I just pray for a win.

I don't think people should be too concerned about the weather. After all, isn't our biggest problem that we haven't played enough in the rain. Surely this is a very good chance to give it a go and gain some more experience in the wet conditions. May prove handy in the next few weeks.

[swan_song]

We've lost a couple in the wet, most notably against Port and the Phylthy Pies...we have not been playing good wet weather footy, and it's a concern, but I hope the boys have learned something from last week...ie that a GOOD START is important, especially in the rain. Nevertheless, I'd be disappointed if we didn't win by at least 24 points...

[RogueSwan]

Wet: win by <10
Dry: win by 20-30 but if we bolt from the blocks I'd say 35 - 60pt win!

If it's wet, we may get done.

If it's dry we will win by about 14 goals.
