Game Day Thread - Sydney V Western Bulldogs

[Damien]

Match is about 90 minutes away, keep discussion to this thread.

I was told that Jesse White will play his second match today.

Spida out, White in?

hmmmm interesting ....
lots of unknowns with all the changes but i'd still rather lose with this team than with people like matthews in - at least it's setting us up for the next few days - i'm excited!!!

Well all the media have completely written us off with NM or St Kilda the favourites for 4th.

[alison.z]

good - we never play well when we're expected to

i think at this point i'd just like to see an improvement on the last few weeks which have been shocking ... we're not going to win any games playing like we have so running in to some form now would be good ...

[Rob-bloods]

SEN about to name final teams..caller just suggested that Brad Johnson may be out with broken ribs.

Bad new on the umps we have one Mac and Chamberlain!!

If the White "in" is correct, we'll go in with

White
Brabazon
Jack
Bird
Vez
Brennan
Moore
Grundy
Mattner

all as changes from the core team that saw us to two GFs. That's half a starting line-up! And of those, only Mattner had much experience beforehand. The Swans truly are the cygnets at the moment.

Gee, I hope O'Keefe has his third blinder in a row. If the Dogs manage to shut him down things could get very ugly indeed.

[Rob-bloods]

White is in on champion data who dropped out?

That's it cheers

Trying to remember, didn't Moore get concussed last week? I remember him leaving the field a tad groggy at one stage. That makes sense with him withdrawing.

Chookas to Jesse on being back in the team and also Brennan, Vesz and Brab.

[ugg]

Yep and Bulldogs as named.

[ash3]

Its on Channel 9 footy show now (The changes)

[hot potato]

Hunt in packs Swans, run all day.

[cruiser]

Crouch playing. Matthews playing. Sigh. I want them to prove me wrong in my pessimism.
