Changes for the Semi Final V Carlton

[Bloodthirsty]

Too right the cliches are getting worse and Bruce has become a total joke they really need to clear half this lot out BT and Bruce first.

Yeah seriously if I hear "roll the dice" one more time from Bruce I will walk into channel 7 and go on a killing spree.

A slight overreaction maybe?

bruce commentating on a hawks or geelong game is just ridiculous. he's got his head up the arses of every one of their players. not only that, when it isnt even a hawks game, somehow 'buddy' ends up being talked about

[annew]

You know what I am not feeling flat anymore, we are still alive and playing in a semi final I am now excited which will turn to nerves tomorrow. Go Swans let's show em.

My comment on this is at least it can't be a Hawthorn Geelong grand final. Hope the pre-lim is brutal.

I'm going to throw it out there and say we're in with a chance. Longmire's stopped the 'bring back the champions' strategy. We've got a team who can win anywhere and we're best with our backs against the wall. Bring it on!

Plus I'm drunk.

... so can we assume his end of season trip will be to Rio?

Who have we had match up on Judd and Murphy in past games? I assume our best tagger goes to one of them? Have seen this season that Murphy doesn't respond well to hard tagging but with Judd showing big form last week is he the tagging priority tomorrow night?

More worried about Gibbs at this stage. Yes Judd and Murphy did well when Carlton came good but Gibbs was always the architect. I think we need to have Ryano take him

Biggs play on Gunston Rd23? Did alright, back him in. Though Duigan is a bigger build. so maybe not a matchup the swans will want.

biggs can take Duigan as he is really strong and a very strong mark. What is more he will run off Duigan as he is far faster.

Bruce is the Galloping Cliche;

'Cometh the man cometh the moment' and in the case of Adam Goodes 'Cometh the champion cometh the moment'.

'It doesn't get better than this'

'he turns on a sixpence'

'Just awesome'

'You've gotto love that'

too bloody many to mention.

sad that port lost tonight, gee Cats get lots of frees and many of them should have gone the other way. Cats players just threw the ball when they got tackled tonight and if the umpires were at least decent they would be penalised.

But to business. If Maca doesn't play then Lambie will. We do not need to get rid of a tall! That has not been the problem it has been our delivery and game plan. We were without the three talls in the forward line against them in round 14. White had to play second ruck, never a strong point in AFL for Jesse, just a little short. Mumford was injured. I think we can expose their lack of height here. What is more Jesse and Pykie are very mobile and their defenders are very susceptible to very tall mobile forwards especially on the lead.

Right on there. It sickens me that when Geelong and Hawthorn are helped on their way by umpires, he talks about the opposition as if "well, [opposition] are just not doing enough at the moment" or "you just feel that all the momentum is with Hawthorn/Geelong at the moment."

I've said it before and I'll say it again - umpires are biased on a consistent basis. There was even an article on the AFL website talking about all the money the AFL lost due to last week's results. As if the umpires aren't fully aware of this.... Tonight's match just felt like the umpires went, "OK, enough of this Port circus. This could get serious - they might win this. Time to take care of that." And they did several times when the match was in the balance. It happens all the time.

I hope there are 44 people reported for serious offences in the Hawks/Cats pelim.

Well you won't have to listen to Bruce or BT anymore, nor their enablers. Will that be cash or credit card?

These people get paid big bucks to do something that they are terrible at. Why can't they pay someone else who is good at it?

And the special commentators they have on....seriously, good footballer rarely = good commentator. Nick Riewoldt, Nick Maxwell, Barry Hall, Steve Johnson. Give me a break.

Respect to Port. Like them a lot. They remind me of another team a little bit, but I can't quite put my finger on which one.....

I'm considering starting a drinking game for every time someone says "lower his eyes" during tonight's commentary.

I hope you "played the percentages" during your game..?

[Nich]

When Bartel slotted a goal last night Bruce let go with the ol', 'Cometh the moment..' and then he paused and stopped half way though as if to realise he uses that line just a little too much. I had a chuckle.

I thought Port were robbed of that by the umpires, I'd be furious if I was a power fan. Tricky game next week for the umps, and I can already hear the commentators describing it as the match that should have been the gf.

They'll say that about 50 times no doubt.

Well Saturday morning in Sydney and it has been raining overnight. Looks like more rain on the way.

Don't forget, tonight could be Jude's last game.

Why isn't B Jack playing if they have to drop a tall.

I have "real male" drinking games - you alternate between a glass of buttermilk and a raw egg throwback.

I was barracking for GEELONG to win because I thought if by some magical transformation, that Sydney reach the GF, then either side might be a bit flat of a torrid match the week before. But on the play of the umpires, I thought Geelong where the benefits of some really questionable free kicks, particular in the last quarter. But Geelong always seem to get a great go from the umps, remember when we played them?

[ShockOfHair]

I'll be knocking back a schooner every time we take a mark on a lead inside 50.
