We shall prevail... provided the North Ballarat Roos play as poorly as the BrisVegas Bears or Adelaide Ravens.

So it has come to this. The once mighty Bloods gameday fortunes reliant upon the pure ineptitude of our opponents.

But look, Swans, the situation is not as bad as it appears. Have you seen the state of Norf's play just because of a little moisture? Absolutely appalling, even worse than us! They have no experience of rain, because they come from a world beneath a steel sky. It's a weakness you may bear in mind.

Don't underestimate yourselves, you're in with a chance. And I wish you luck.

Currie out. Nahas in

Jacobs and Rohan subs

[Swansinger]

We have had a few dull games v North.
But of all the H&A games , this one gets the imagination running more than any other : historically , it is a fixture replete with drama.

Swans by 1.

[ScottH]

Won the toss!!

[ScottH]

Thompson already warned by ump for his work on Franklin.

"I'll only tell you this once"

[ScottH]

Well done Razor!!

[Mel_C]

Hope LRT is ok...they said he is having breathing difficulties.

No one is allowed to complain about Melbourne weather ever again!!

[Swans500]

Stinking rotten Sydney weather...Swans have no luck...Most SCG games were washed out last year....

[billyboob]

Swans their own worst enemy so far today.

[Chookbilly]

We're horrible in the wet! Can't remember the last time we played well in these conditions

[Mel_C]

North are working harder at the moment and they seem to be handling the conditions better.

I hate the rain ????.

[Swans500]

Looking at the radar there is no real respite in sight...

[billyboob]

I don't know why anyone is blaming the weather.
