Starting the match thread before I head to the SCG.

Lovely sunny winter day in Sydney today, no threat of rain until tomorrow. Should be around 18 °C at game time, looking like perfect conditions for footy.

It's 2nd vs 12th. Last 5 - Sydney: WWWLW. Saints: WLWLL.

Everyone is predicting at least a 4-5 goal Swans win. Let's hope there are no nasty surprises.

Hoping for a big game by Wicks in his 100th. Lyon and St Kilda will probably try to drag us down to their level, but I suspect that our class will prevail.

[Foreign Legion]

Best of luck to Wicks on a well deserved 100th game. His transition to a defender has been incredible!

[dejavoodoo44]

Handy start.

[dejavoodoo44]

McCartin starting well. Mills possibly a bit rusty?

[Dow]

It’s those moments that make you wonder

[UUaswan]

I get the handball game but we have 3 talls, get in in quick and deep

[dejavoodoo44]

I always enjoy a Rowbottom goal.

[dejavoodoo44]

Kyle is having a good first quarter.

[UUaswan]

Looking like one of those days we make a game of it against a team that's shouldnt be near it

[Dow]

Sheldrick having a howler

[dejavoodoo44]

Handy bounce.

[UUaswan]

40-50m out from goal to a contest is no man's land

Got to be deeper entries

Kick to advantage not the Nathan Buckley bullet pass, no one has landed one

[dejavoodoo44]

Fairly sloppy quarter, with the midfield generally not quite connecting with the forwards, and the forwards missing a few easy chances when they did get it. Should be able to fix both of those.

[UUaswan]

NAS circle work from a kick in, zero pressure thru the ground
