Round 9: the other games and other stuff.

[Markwebbos]

You know what they say: "No Buddy, JPK, Heeney, Hewett, Naismith, Rampe, no Swans"

[Meg]

I think my optimism levels will depend on the team announcement tonight. If Rampe is picked, if Mills is in the middle and perhaps Hayward comes in for Gray, then I'd be quietly confident of witnessing an upset. No Rampe: a lot less so.

Rampe had his hand strapped up high against his chest in a sling in photo getting on bus on way to airport ..... Still he played half a match one-handed last week so perhaps he could play like that?

Meh, flesh wound.

Though it does seem a bit bizarre, that they haven't ruled him out already. That they haven't, gives me a little bit of hope. If not, we might get to see the debut of Maibaum or Gould.

[Aaron]

Or Melican?

[Markwebbos]

Rampe could be our most important player. And he's the wrong side of 30. He'll be extremely difficult to replace in the short and longer term.

Reckon he could play quite a few more years yet. Late starter.

[Sandridge]

Was going to be a smart alec and post anti-Clarkson stuff when the Poos and Wees were losing 31-5 in the first quarter.
But, at half time, they're 13 points in front!
Oh well, if they go on to win, it means that another club that the Swans have good reason to thoroughly dislike have lost!

Like me S, you have a long.memory. Blues very arrogant for a long period of time.

Success by cheque book.

[Nico]

Are Carlton fit enough! Seem to drop away after quarter time. Look slow from there on and couldn't get to contests.

They hovered over us like vultures in our darkest years in the 90s. Pinched our players and waited for us to die so they could move into the Sydney market.
Their last Premiership was 1995. Let's hope the drought continues for many, many years.

On that game they have a long way to go.

[Nico]

Why do footballers spin the ball in their hands so much when lining up for a shot at goal? The greats such as Lockett, Dunstall and McKenna didn't do this.

Watching tonights game, I feel we are witnessing the complete destruction of the holding the ball rule.....repeatedly tweaked week by week, it's an absolute debacle now.????

Free against McGrath a farce. Totally against the spirit of the game.
