Round 11 - West Coast

[johnno]

It'll be close for 3 quarters and the harder bodies of the swans will kick away to a 6-7 goal win in the last quarter. Havent you all noticed that the teams playing in early corisponding games (i.e. hawks vs Melb), the return match is always closer if the first match was a blowout.

Winning in Perth against the Eagles is so rare, that regardless of the odds, it is always very sweet when it happens.

Here is some interesting stats:

The Swans' Subi record against the Eagles is 4 wins and 12 losses. In terms of the annual calender, Sydney have never won a home and away game after 12th April of any given year.

The Swans' overall Perth record against the Eagles, (including games at the WACA), stands at 5 wins and 15 losses. In terms of the annual calender, the Swans have never won a home and away game after 18th April, when the beat the Eagles at the WACA in 1998.

The biggest win ever was in 1987, when they won by 27. However, in 2001 when they won by 15, they were ahead by 47 points at half time.

That has to be the most useless information ever. At the very least it's second to the pig orgasm fun fact email.

Maybe the first match was the close one?

[Zlatorog]

I think this one will be a close one, like our game against the Port at AAMI.

Rosa out for the eagles, he's injured.

There goes about 20 posessions for them.

Fortunately for them, it's about 20 possessions with very little "hurt factor".

Ouch.

[bandwagon]

What fact about pig orgasms?? Is it something to do with Hunter's goal celebrations?

According to FOX Sports only one change for our team so far:

In: Barlow
Out: Bird

Weagles have changes galore... including Hunter *ugh*

West Coast reacted to last week's 100-point loss to Collingwood by making seven changes for Saturday night's Subiaco clash with Sydney.

Young midfielder Sam Butler was among the inclusions, in what will be his first game since the club's 2006 premiership, after a frustrating series of groin injuries.

Also returning to the side was experienced defender Adam Hunter, who has missed four games with a knee injury.

The Eagles lost Brad Ebert (ankle), Will Schofield (thigh), Josh Kennedy (knee) and Matt Rosa (ankle) to injury, Beau Waters to suspension and dropped Steven Armstrong and Ben McKinley.

Sydney made just one change, Ed Barlow replacing Craig Bird.

[Claret]

From the AFL website . . . . .

* West Coast allowed Collingwood to enter its forward 50 on 64 occasions last week ? the most it has conceded in any game this season.

* Beau Wilkes has hit the target with all 17 of his kicks in his two career games.

* Sydney has laid 64 tackles in its defensive 50 this season ? the most of any side.

* Kieran Jack has laid 56 tackles this season ? ranked third at the Swans and equal fifth in the competition..

* Martin Mattner has been a terrific inclusion for the Swans defence this season. He ranks No.1 in the competition for tackles in the defensive 50 and equal ninth in rebound 50s.

I am really hoping that you are correct this round. I think all Swans supporters are.

[robamiee]

i think it will be around 4 goals....
I know one thing, the swans would have watched the crows game against weagles more so than the pies game.
You would expect the weagles to bounce back after poor performance.
i would expect however the swans to win by 4 goals based on their performances this season, they need to show where they stand in the comp.

[Matt79]

I am just not sure how the Eagles will kick a winning score against the best defence in the comp.

I really do not want this to be close. 10 goal win will be nice, however, I think the Swannies by 27.
