Match Thread Round 9: Swans v Essendon.

[dejavoodoo44]

Sheldrick is our sub again, while Sheil is in the vest for the Bombers.

I'm feeling a little bit more enthusiastic after the win last week and Essendon have made plenty of changes, which should work in our favour. Although they have a definite height advantage. Which I guess makes it important to put them under pressure and disrupt their ball movement. Hopefully we can also move the ball efficiently.

Just realised I can’t watch the game live cause of the Fox deal. Anyone else outraged by this? Feels crook by the AFL

[Foreign Legion]

Yeah the AFL deal stuffs it up for free to Air longmile - not a good way to promote the game.

I am hoping as always that Hayward returns to form. Grundy will need to play a huge game.

[Dow]

Any chance we might kick it to the advantage of our forwards lol

[Foreign Legion]

Goldstein throws Grundy in the ruck - play on - last week Grundy would have been penalised.

[UUaswan]

6 marks in our 50

Maybe we have too many defenders in there

[Foreign Legion]

3 50M penalties already - Jesus this is horrible

[Dow]

Poor discipline and a non existent forward line

[Foreign Legion]

10 inside 50's to us - ZERO marks - change the bloody strategy now!

Oh that sux. I thought all the Sydney games were Free to Air- including Giants games...that is terrible- I'm so sorry. Can you get SEN? or a radio broadcast? I'd also suggest emailing the Swans..

[Daisi]

Essendon aren't that great- if we can fix the forward line we'd be OK.

[Dow]

If you don’t pick fwds it’s what you get, it’s blood embarrassing poor Cox

[UUaswan]

Roberts and JMAC can FO

[UUaswan]

At the point now where teams are leaving them open

[imuninformedtwo]

Boys

As a forward, play in front.

And when we have a makeshift forward line, bombing it in ain’t the go.

Quarter time address over
