Will KJ play? Will the Bombers give us a run for our money? Swans by 69pts.
Go Swannies.

Rotten pollution around this morning from back burning in the Blue Mountains but it's expected to clear later when the sea breeze makes it the western suburbs' problem again...

So that's what the smell is! I am a ten minute walk from the beaches, yet I can smell it inside with the windows closed, and its visibly hazy outside. Didn't seem like the season for actual bushfires...

It won't make things pleasant for the Swans and Giants reserves team playing in Blacktown in a short while.

Yup. It explains my hay fever symptoms too. Grumble grizzle.

Great to watch the last quarter of the 96 Prelim on Fox Footy very early this morning. So many great players. So many great plays. Maxfield's sublime 60 metre pass to easy as she goes Dale Lewis in the goal square. Paul Kelly's relentless ball hunting. Pluggers pass inboard to Cresswell to set up our last goal. Hell, even Hird looked pretty classy back then. Essendon had three guys in long sleeves that day, so really the result was never in doubt!

The last time that a Swan kicked ten goals or more in a match, was back in 1998, when Lockett kicked twelve against Port. I reckon there's a reasonable chance that'll change today.
Also, Gary Rohan doesn't seem to be running around in the reserves. I wonder if that's an injury, or if he's a late replacement for the firsts?

Garry Rohan a no show after half time in the ressies.

No changes for either side

What's become of Aliir? Why didn't he play against the Suns at Blacktown?

Senior emergency.

Have to listen to the start of the game on radio because it overlaps on foxtel with the Geelong game which my brother is watching. I hate listening to games on the radio!!

Don't know why but I am feeling nervous about this game.

At least for a change there is no rain!

[longmile]

why do we always get Bereton??
Literally makes BT seem tolerable

McGlynn is a dead set turnover merchant. Does it every week. No wonder horse is ropeable.

[Nico]

We are over possessing. Almost to the point of lairising. Heeney is a star.

Great delivery by Rampe to future Brownlow medalist Isaac
