Geelong Round 20-Do the Swans have ANY hope?

[573v30]

I am sorry, but when was the last time two forwards kicked 12 goals between them in one game against Geelong?

For the Swans, Round 1 1976.

I remember going to that game. My only real memory of it though was that Geelong's last goal came in the final minute when a bouncing ball in the goal square was kicked out of the air and over the grand stand roof.

Nice find.

Maybe you should have said "against the current Geelong side". there was a lady on the bus back to Randwick who predicted that the Swans will win next week by 85 points - she reckons this will be the case - obviously she had left her medication at home. Still at least the Cats havent played at ANZ all that much so maybe that might help. If we win, it will be a miracle as there is a vast difference to beating the 13th placed team by all of 4 points (in the last 2 minutes of the game) to actually getting a sniff of a win against one of the best teams to have ever played the game. We only need to win by 1 point - and I hope we do, but the realist in me sadly thinks otherwise. And no Bevan isnt going to be the one to save the day!

Freo are a better side than their place on the ladder suggests and they are in good form, so our win is better than their current ladder position suggests. The prospect of Bevo choking the life out of Ablett is one of the prospective mouth watering match ups of this game ( Kirk/Ling, Big Beamish/Scarlett, Jolly/Ottens, Mattner/Johnstone, Kenny Williams/that ****head, offensive hayseed who manages to get himself on tele on the verge of a stroke everytime the pussies get a free kick awarded against them etc, etc) The first tackle the Bevonator lays on the little sook will be worth the price of the admission ticket alone.

Kirk-Ling will bring the crowds back! I would have thought Ling would go to McVeigh or Bolton, now that Goodes is playing as a forward. I also wouldn't be surprised if Scarlett played on Goodes.

I havent laughed so hard in ages - thanks for that, you poor deluded man.

Ling is very one paced and don't know if he would have the zip to go with the Bee Gee. The interesting thing is that the new forward set up causes them some problems on paper at least. If Scarlett does take Goodesy who gets Big Beamish? Interesting.

Well thank you. In the land of the blind, visionaries are reviled as the deluded.

In previous matches he has worn Goodes like a glove and Adam is no slouch.

One thing for certain is that if Goodes does play on Scarlett he won't be allowed to stay in the forward 50 as he did against Freo. So I reckon Roos will try to avoid that match-up if possible.

Scarlett is the key to unpicking their defense. Goodsey can beat him consistently in a one on one. The articulate champ has been trash talking the sour faced scragger already by pointing out that on the end of a long kick he can do him. Scarlett has never played on a dual brownlow medallist and player of such tremendous skill and size as Goodsey so let the mind games begin. Also the Barnyard Bullies must be scratching to find the match up for Big Beamish as they lack tall defenders. Big Beamish will push up the ground creating froth and bubble in the corridor on the edge of the forward fifty while Goodsey should be given a squatters holding to duke it out with Mr. Grumpy. And the Vesper could really do some damage motoring into the goals scouting the spill of the pill from the one on one. We'll spay these pussies.

I think you're trying a bit too hard.

Damn. All that dictionary/thesauris work shows does it?
