Swans v Dockers Game Day Thread

[Swansongster]

Can someone please start a game day thread?

OK. I will. I hope that is not a breach of protocol.

Right about now is when the mental strength starts getting its game day workout. We've toiled hard and sometimes played exceptionally well so far this season. Injuries have been an almost weekly dread. But here we are in a Prelim.

Foreign soil. A top quality opponent. Depleted but not yet defeated. We can't have any passengers today. (And a thousand other cliches)

Go Swans. Destiny awaits. Smash my credit card by winning tonight.

[Triple B]

Smash my credit card by winning tonight.

Lol, so many among us hoping our cc has at least $399 less balance in the morning...

[India'sDad]

I refuse to check flights in case it jinxes us...

[BillyRayCypress]

The worse feeling in the world is when its the three quarter time break and you're sitting there wondering what if...........

I don't think the Swans will win tonight and may even lose by as much as 6 goals. I still think its a great achievement to get to a Prelim with so many injuries.

A miracle win would be nice and not in the last 30 seconds please.

[Nich]

This Team, this Club is impervious to thoughts of defeat. We can win. It wouldn't be a miracle in the players eyes so it won't be in mine. Tally-ho!

[Go Swannies]

I normally expect us to win but tonight I'm not. But I certainly think we can win - and it'll be decided on what the lesser half dozen Swans do. Time to stand up Jesse and Andreis.

I see the forecast is for showers developing this afternoon. Anyone in Perth able to say if that seems likely?

When are teams/subs confirmed?

Mark Mclure is an idiot, he said no Reid, no Goodes, no Tippett, no LRT, Sydney has no talls. White is same height as Reid and Everitt is the same height as LRT and what are Pyke and Mummford - midgets?

[Wardy]

God I'm nervous - a glass of wine needed as a steadier methinks!!!

Actually I am so nervous I need to be anaesthetised. In fact maybe I should go to sleep and wake up when it is all over.

Bizarre after everyone went on and on about being too tall.

C'mon bloods.

[Matt79]

So nervous! Despite the result, so proud that we have made the prelim! I know the lads will give their all!

[Blue Sun]

Stoked that the boys have come this far, but I'm not expecting a win tonight.

In any case, I'm sure they'll give it their all - especially for Jude!

Don't say that about Maclure, you'll upset Wardy.

Although he was saying that carlton would flog the Swans last week.

Pyke and Munford - afl munchkins.
