Swans to win comfortably and umpires to stay out of it

Late change: Rohan out, Marsh in. Hmm.

Well may you say mmm. Christ. i'm starting to wonder if our coaches want to lose because they are killing us at selection. Marsh has not been a star at NEAFL level. He's been serviceable. There are others who deserve to come in before him and to change a forward for a back really shows you Longmire's intent. He is already trying to save the game not win it.

Shoulda been Dawson

I may be in a minority, I like Thursday nights. And Sunday arvos.

Looks like the rain is clearing, just a few scattered showers around. But there's been a lot, so it will be greasy at best.

Doggies are down a bit with some injuries and key outs, so who knows. Could be one of those unexpected wins! We're 3W, 4L for home games after a bye (0W, 3L away), so don't listen to the "after the bye" doom merchants

I love Sunday arvos, prefer the early not twilight. not wrapped in night matches at all during mid winter. Too cold and wet for me and I get home far too late. Tonight is not too bad being a 7.20pm but I am at home still due to weather and Kennel cough. I actually have kennel cough, I can't believe it. Both cats and I have it. Prefer day matches to night matches. Love the pub afterward.

I agree it should have been Dawson. Go attacking not totally defensive. We tried that last time too and did it do any good?

I want whatever you're taking!

I am finding this almost impossible to believe but the Swans are still shortening with the bookies. What do they know. Have they paid off the umpires.

[neilfws]

Plenty of empty seats here, 5 minutes out. Even allowing for the usual late rush.

[Mel_C]

I haven't seen a crowd this small in years. The stands look very empty on the tv.

I guess it's not a surprise considering the weather, our position on the ladder and the fact it's a Thursday night.

Hopefully there is still some atmosphere.

Piss off umpires are doing it again. That was a mark every day of the week to Hewitt and it wasn't paid. There are 4 umpires and not one them saw it!!! It could have been front on contact as well.

Bit of a poor start kicking for goal again. Dogs get one from the boundary line.

[mcs]

I'm not a fan, generally need to take the next day off work
But I really dislike the fact that we have Friday-Thursday-Friday home games in a row
Guess the silver lining of this season is we may get fewer Friday games, there's 8 this season

Yeh have to agree with this, but on the basis of it means there is several home gams this year i just cant get to.

Not a bad first quarter but didnt put much on the scoreboard. Good intensity so far which is promising.

[Markwebbos]

Swans should be 3-4 goals up. Missed at least 2 out on the full etc

I know, both a mark and a free. Should have been a 50.

[Hotpotato]

Clear mark to Hewitt.... blatant bias there.

The boys are up for this.
