Match Day SEMI FINAL Geelong v Sydney MCG 7.50pm Friday 15 September

[AB Swannie]

Not so sure about a wet ground suiting the Swans.

The Melbourne press have saying it for years but I haven't seen the evidence to back it up.

There'll be no blow out tonight, which makes it much more a 50/50 proposition....IMO

I agree 100%. If it is a dry track, we win against Geelong. Rain just throws a new variable into the mix.

When was the last game we played in the rain? I'm struggling to think of one this year.

The young pups will revel in the rain, Heaney, Paps, Mills , Jones, Newman etc

When is the latest you can bring in emergencies?

Have to agree with this.
Good luck guys - I'm quietly confident but I doubt it will be a blow-out.

Officially team sheets have to be submitted 90 minutes before first bounce. However you can still make changes if someone injured himself in the warmup.

Sam....he's like Trump. Speaks complete bullshiit just to get attention and doesn't care if it's positive or negative as long as he's getting the attention......a total tool!!

[frankee]

I really hope Dangerfield just bombs it long like he usually does... Although in the wet it may work better.

[Bill Posters]

Some great efforts to get to the game tonight:

Sydney Swans super fan re-enacts Planes, Trains and Automobiles to make it to the MCG

The comment about the swans being good in the wet dates back to 2005 when we played with immense pressure and just hoiked it long. Not our game style any more (when we're playing well).

Lonergan OUT Stanley in

[Industrial Fan]

Agreed here too. Swans and wet weather is cliche bingo.

[Doctor]

Lonergan OUT Stanley in

That's huge.

[ugg]

Food poisoning the reason Lonergan is out.

Hope the forecast for the rain to generally stay away is accurate. We are a dry weather team. Our recent record in the wet (not many this year I grant you) is poor.

I'm stuck in Canberra trying to get home for the game. My plane was here but they've used it for another flight and made us wait. ARRRGHHH!!!
