Round 1 vs Adelaide Cows

[giant]

Ronke is a star.

I'm a huge believer in the Ronke but recently my faith has been tested. He's dead set lucky this time around I reckon.

I was surprised so many have picked the Crows but that must be just about the weakest Swans team selected for a decade - no disrespect, just a question of where the squad is at right now.

Crowd taken out of the equation and with the tipsters against us I like our chances Swans by 27 points Sam Gray to kick 4 just because it’s the Crows

The 3 games played so far have demonstrated that a good start is crucial. The shortened game time makes it harder to catch up. We have been slow to start in our 2 preseason games so I'm worried!

Getting the usual jitters and excitement! Good to have the footy back! A welcome distraction

[bloodspirit]

Great mark, Heeney! Star!

wtf gray

[Mel_C]

What was that kick by Gray????? Dear oh dear!

[bloodspirit]

Why are we wearing black armbands?

Good mark, Tex. We're not getting enough reward for our good start.

[longmile]

looking better than adelaide but we're squandering chances and they're making the most of theres

[bloodspirit]

Our defence not up to it's usual standard. I think the problem is our defence up the ground, they are getting high quality entries inside 50 too easily.

Also we're missing Reg, our edge.

Stengel has been impressive.

[Blue Sun]

Started well, should probably be in front, but the Crows have been pretty good too. Good to have the footy amidst all of this craziness.

[Mel_C]

Why are we wearing black ?.

An ex player Sanford Wheeler passed away.

[Mel_C]

The crows got their goals way too easy.

It seems to be a more free flowing game than we're used to. We need to hold them up more.

[longmile]

Dawson marking Lynch is idiotic. Terrible coaching by Longmire

[Ralph Dawg]

We're getting it out of the middle but either disposal poor or no target. I think if we can get the ball to ground though we will be dangerous.
