Are they streaming the game?

One of those european sports sites. Crifree.tv runs english skysports channels etc. Small screen area though.

The wife and I were all ready to take the little one (11 months old) to his first game- certain things are expected of these new members.

Sadly we don't have junior scuba gear, so we'll be on the couch.

I was looking forward to this for the last few weeks, too!

Shops are open, just buy some floaties

Remember this headline from February?

Sydney Swans cancel swim with dolphins




I supported the cancellation at the time, but now it's looking a big mistake. We could have learned a few things that would be useful today. Maybe even picked up a player that's particularly good in the wet.


Also, I don't think changing one player for the conditions will make much difference. But if we do bring in Mitchell, I would prefer to see Cunningham go out. Reid is okay in the wet and I wouldn't tamper with defence anyway. Just bring in an inside player for an outside one.

And by my observation Parker is not slow unless Macca is too.

AS much as I would like to disagree with Matt about the slow mid-field, Parker is not fast, not close to fast. Merrett's chase down was pretty conclusive.

The whole team was slow in that attack. There were three swans with slow handballs. And Parker got the ball in plenty of time to kick. Poor communication from the players that were close behind him

That was a hospital pass from Goodes however - should never have dished it off at the time he did to Parker.
