The slow Sydney chant

Spine tingling stuff

Wish this game wouldn't end.

Paps landed awkwardly near the end of that quarter, hope he's ok.

Just want to get through with no more injuries please - need to be fully fit and firing to finish off those pussy cats from Geelong next week.

[Foreign Legion]

Yeah stevoswan - I think Papley is injured but hope he is good for next week - bloody important!

[stevoswan]

13.1 from set shots today.....keep that up for the next few weeks!

Yes, looks like they might be about to rest Buddy for the quarter. Hopefully we'll see us hitting up Rohan and Reid for the rest of the game.

Ok, so we're through to next week and we have a good record against the Cats at Simmonds. What about at the 'G....this from the AFL website: "Geelong has never beaten the Swans at the MCG, not in 2016, nor in 1934 or 1914 when the Swans were South Melbourne.

They have lost five of their past six games against the Swans and gone down in their past three, including last year's preliminary final at the MCG when they lost by 37 points.

In recent seasons the Swans have been the Cats' kryptonite." Yes we have....feeling pretty confident.

[Swansinger]

How many times can they bang on about being "surprised" that Tippett was not selected ?! We all knew it was the correct decision to play Sinclair & Naismith.

TOWERS!!!! AAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAAAAGAHHHHHHHH

[Nico]

Dean Towers, you star.

[stevoswan]

Now Towers is dribbling off-breaks through a la Buddy......this is bliss!

So, after 120 years, statistically, the Cats are probably due for a win against the Swans at the 'G'?

Have we entered an alternative universe haha!

Stoked to hear he is playing well though - I have been a long term critic but he has had a good year and his form has been building all season. We need all 22 guys to stand up if we are to pull off a truly amazing flag win.
