    We go OK in Brisbane.
    Keep the Brown Dog quite and keep an eye on Bradshaw and we are half way there. They have to stop our our match winners as well, they are coming off a pretty hard slog in the wet last week in a close one.
    Goodsey will deliver this week , and we can win by 4 goals or more !!

      You're right, but don't forget we're coming off a 6 day break, as opposed to 8 for them.

          Port came off a 10 day break last week compared to our 8. Made no difference. I tend to think benefits from extra days rest etc are more applicable later in the season with weary bodies.

              The only problem with that is that Bevans only decent game of his career was last week playing if attack.

                Not true, Bevan played some decent games in his first year.

                  Ok, Ok, then, this was his only decent game of the last few seasons IMO.

                    You could've got away with "this year", but that will do.

                      I thought if I used "IMO" or "IMHO" I could claim just about anything.

                        I can see that people here are very confident in the Swans win tomorrow even though they play at night with a few showers predicted for Brisbane. I hope you're all correct, but I need a bit more convincing, because I would like to see one convincing win in a night game. It's been a long time since that happened.

                          Everybody wins if he does that!

                            My tips:

                            * Swans by 15
                            * J. Brown to kick the last goal of the match again
                            * Good game, with 28 goals kicked total (15-13)
                            * Lots of friendly banter from the Lions supporters

                              It is incredibly hot here at the moment, & the Gabba will still be very warm come game time. It is the biggest playing surface in the league as well, so a running side with quick forays out of defence will be the way to go.

                              Lethal has shown he will flood back to stop us at half forward. I can't say tomorrow night will be much different.

                              The game up here last season was one of the most error-riddled fumblathons I have seen, only kept remotely interesting by the closeness of the scores. We do not have the injury hassles (especially in defence) we had that night, but I worry about whether we have the stocks in the ruck up against Charman & Leuenberger (who murdered us last year). LRT is needed in defense on Brown, but then we also need him in the ruck.

                              we have a great record up here of late. Here's hoping we maintain it.

                              To those coming up, bring your shorts!

                                I can't forget last year's draw, and neither should the players, that was a pissweak way to throw away two points

                                It'll be another close one. If someone gives Brown a nice whack in the ribs early then we'll be on our way.

                                Swans by 5 points - carn you Swannies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
