Match-day thread : Semi-Final 2 versus Hawthorn

[On-Baller]

Damn Parker is the sub,i really hoped he'd play a full game.

[annew]

Damn Buddie is playing.

Damn Parker is the sub,i really hoped he'd play a full game.

I know the Sub is held off on many an occasion just in case there is an injury but I say throw him on 10 mins into the 2nd half for Tadhg just for something different!! All or nothing! All out attack!

*OK maybe not a great idea, just getting a little excited.

And to win while Buddy is playing will make it even better! Gee I hope he doesn't get an early goal!! That will really put the wind in their sails.

i wouldn't be overly concerned of buddy, his lateral movement will be if lucky 50%, i also i wouldn't be surprised if he is pulled in that final 90 minutes of warm up...
but he clearly will not be 100%. if teddy plays like last week will be ok...

The most nervous I've been all year. Feels odd playing on a Friday! Come on boys. I hope the footy gods are smiling down on you tonight. Be bold, be brave and leave it all out on the ground.

I remember when Gehrig was underdone n Leo ran him off his feet in 05. Let's hope we do the same to buddy.

Sitting in level 2 behind the swans cheer squad. Glorious night. COME ON SWANS!

[swansrob]

Just jumped on a tram heading in. Pumped!

[Cheer Squad]

We'll be fine if we play a four quarter game, Buddy or no Buddy.

Go Swannies!!!

[Bas]

Buddy can't kick goals if the rest of the team do their job. Hopefully Ted will do better than Grundy but Franklin was on fire that day.

I really hope Rioli is underdone.

We forget how good the rest of the team (Hawks) are.

They wouldn't play him unless they were 100% sure he would still be there at full time. However, the Saints stuffed up seriously last week.

[Nich]

Buddy got it on a platter last time. We made it easier for him. If we all do our job then we will be fine. Simple footy. Beat your Man.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Soo nervous, I just hope we start well and at least draw level after the first quater.

Buddy seems to be walking ok in the warm-up but he looks proppy when kicking. Make him work hard swannies and I think he'll struggle. Perfect night for footy at the G - feeling very nervous now but I have faith - come on you mighty bloods - do it for Goodesy!
