Round 1 - Giants

[Bas]

Aardvark, you must have had Fruit Loops and scrambled eggs for brekkie.

Poor Cheer Squad getting confused now.

Cheer Squad are you a him or her ?

I think our pre season has showed us our depth is not quite as extensive as it may have seemed. We have Walsh and White fighting for a spot that neither looks close to grabbing, a pretty disappointing Morton, and no one demanding to be picked as 2nd Ruck. None of Moore or TDL has done anything to suggest they will be pressuring the best 22 for a spot( though not sure the latter has played yet?) so while we have many fit players to choose from, I don't think there's a great many outside the top 22 who are capable of producing consistent AFL standard football. I'm not too sure what Spangher has done wrong for him to deserve being delisted, I thought he was more than serviceable in his role last year, ad I think the sooner he is back fit the better.

Smith Richards Shaw

Grundy Mattner Malceski

Jetta Jack Hannebery

Parker Reid O'Keefe

Morton Walsh Mclgynn

Ruck: Mummy, Goodesy, Kennedy

Int: Bolton, Mcveigh, Seaby, Johnson

We have so much depth i dont know who to include. Brilliant to have but i think we need to cut the losses of moore and spangher at the end of the season. there very average.

Rubbish Spang gave us a lot when he finally got fit last year. How you could pick Walsh and Morton on their performances is beyond me. Cunningham will get a guernsey as will Lamb I think, with ROK and Rohan out injured. If Rohan comes up good but if not!!

[Bas]

If they didn't play last Saturday, then not much chance this week.

[ShockOfHair]

Can we call it the Sydney Stoush?

Glad Izzy is playing.
They may make a game of it.

It is double standards by the AFL though.

I have seen many players suspended for what Folau did.

Demetriou couldn't have the marketing face suspended could he?

[Melbourne_Blood]

If he got rubbed out for that it would have been a complete joke. The first incident was hardly a free kick, the second one was almost a dangerous tackle, but never actually was. A reprimand at best.

No way known were those tackles even reportable let alone worth of suspension.

The Scully hit was worth about 3 weeks though so he's probably fortunate to be playing.

Swans 22.59.191
GWS 4.0.24

At half time the backs and forward swap over and Ted kicks 12.

In all seriousness GWS will have a red hot crack early but the disparity in experience and AFL ready bodies should see a blow out. Swans by 100+

[Primmy]

Normally I wouldn't buy in, but after watching the Swans against Gold Coast I can say that although the boys were blowing up a bit, they were way ahead of the GoldCoast. To my mind it just follows that now matter what GWS could not yet have the four quarter power to stay on top of the game. Just my bit of thought process. I was somewhat impressed that even our young kids held their own re lung capacity and leg strength.

Many???

Here's a challenge, name just one...

I prefer what the Wet Coke fan in the office I work in came up with - Guaranteed Wooden Spooners

[Doctor]

Say what you want, but Folau shouldn't have been reported for either of those incidents. Conspiracy theorists need to take a chill pill.

We'll win and win well but, being the Swans, we'll get 40 ahead and cruise rather than bury them.
