Round 5 v Demons

[hammo]

The Dees don't have their regular forward line and it should be easy for Leo, B2 and Teddy to exert their defensive pressure and the rebound should result in goals (if Hall, MOL, ROK ,etc. kick straight of course). It's about time Sydney beat the Dees in Sydney for a change.

They kicked 13.14 yesterday which is a score Sydney has beaten just once this year (13.18 against Brisbane)..

This has danger game written all over it and is eerily similar to last year's match when the Dees also had their backs to the wall.

The bottom line is we need to kick more goals and as NWBloods has pointed out many times - we kick 14+ goals we will win.

[NMWBloods]

13+ is the magical number!

[NMWBloods]

This time last year they were 0 - 3 going into this game and we were expected to beat them comfortably. This year they are 0 - 4 and we are expected to beat them comfortably......

Yep. These sorts of games are often a danger for us.

[Snake]

Yep. These sorts of games are often a danger for us.

They sure are, the Dees will be desperate to get there first 4 points of the year!

[DST]

History suggests the Dees have been hard to beat at the SCG early in the year, especially with their back to the wall (0-3).

But the big difference this year is that they are struggling to put a decent side on the ground due to a heavy injury toll.

It would be a huge upset if they were to beat us this week.

I think the difference this year V Melbourne is that the clubs collective arse's have been kicked, big time, and we are up against a weak opponent.

I will be very shocked and very disapointed if we don't have a percentage boosting win this time around.

FYI though, it isn't just raining in Sydney, it is pouring, and will basically continue until Friday night. Training is going to be difficult for the team and the SCG may be pretty soggy on Saturday night.

[NMWBloods]

I don't really see it as much different at all and we know what a worry the side is in the wet!

[Damien]

I don't really see it as much different at all

I do. We are going into the match being questioned publicly, the Telegraph in Sydney today ran a 2 page spread naming and shaming 6 players for innacuracy. I think the players mindset will a lot different, I expect a backs against the wall type effort.

[swan_song]

and we know what a worry the side is in the wet!

Not just in the wet

But if we can't win this and boost percentage something is def fishy in the straits of denmark.

[hammo]

I will be very shocked and very disapointed if we don't have a percentage boosting win this time around.

Unfortunately I don't associate the Swans with percentage boosting victories - the Tigers last year was an exception.

We'll be lucky to kick 15 goals.

[Yze_Magic]

I miss you guys too!

Thanks for the email


perfect timing as well, with the Dees about to to battle with the Swans

Your thoughts on the game please Gentlemen?

[Chow-Chicker]

Your boys are struggling with notable injuries, and we are struggling without notable injuries. This is a danger game for us one feels....

we should win our next 2 games no worries if we are any good, they are 2 games we should be able to tick off as wins!

[Jewels]

At the moment, I don't feel we can tick any games off as wins, especially if it's wet.
