Swans Vs Lions Pre Match Talk

[Jeffers1984]

Didn't see one of these threads.

Key Matchups:

C Bolts VS Brown: Big match up for C Bolton. Was up to the task on Richo last week but Brown is in really good form atm. We will need a Superted or ruckman filling in the space in front.

Kirk VS Black: Another lion in tremendous form. Big clearence winner and will need Kirk to shut him down and make him accountable.

Mcveigh VS Sherman: Cannot let the Sheramnator roam free. Has expolosive pace to break lines and can be a dangerous goal kicker. Macca cannot let him loose.

O'Loughlin VS Brennan. Brennan seems to have found his niche in the backline. Can Micky O start to fire in round 3 after being in and out the last 2 games?

We cannot underestimate their young enthusiastic midfielders. Rischetelli and Stiller are great ball magnets who have been in great form.

We should win but this will be a very tight match.

Merrett v Hall? Merrett beat Gehrig and Hall (should he play) won't be 100%

Who will take Rischitelli and Stiller? They've been terrific in the first 2 rounds. Ablett and Dempster perhaps.

The talk on the Lions board is that Begley or Fixter (or perhaps both!) will mark Goodes.

How tall is Fixter?!!

Anyone else slightly deflated by the fact that despite playing in the past two grand finals we are talking tags for a couple of 21 year olds??

Fixter on Goodes, I hope so, the goodes machine will run him into the ground.

I don't see how that fact is relevant. These 2 have been the most profilic Lions midfielders thus far, more so than Black and Power and hence their influence must be curbed.

I am simply saying that I am disappointed opposition coaches aren't left to ponder who'll play on Ablett, Kirk etc more often because our gameplan dictates that the tagging options are almost always decided by the Swans.

An unfortunate outcome of following the Swans.

Looking at this Blions bigfooty thread a few appeared concerned about Goodes, Irish, Spida and Magic. none of midfielders are mentioned. Is Goodes a midfielder?

Only in recent times!

Fixter on Goodes, I hope so, the goodes machine will run him into the ground.

Aftre two quiet (for Goodes) games from our dual Brownlow medalist he's due for a big game.

Is Crouch playing? Too bad Akermanis isn't in the Lions team anymore...

RLT

Who is that.

Most likely playing in the 2s.

Who are the likely replacements for Hall because i don't think he'll get up.

Vogels is the most obvious choice. Tall Forward for Tall Forward
Moore for extra grunt in the midfield and play as a small forward.
Phillips may get another chance releasing Schneider in the midfield.
White unlikely but you never know.

Why not give the "Unit" a run and see how he goes.If he goes well great but if he @@@@s up theres plenty of people on RWO that will bag the @@@@ out of him.So he's got a 50/50 chance.
