Changes for Round 11 v Carlton

[Aprilbr]

Hope this game is postponed , too many out of form for us. Give us the bye and we will be freshened up to wipe the floor with carlton, ain't kilda and poorthorn

You like to be controversial, don't you! A bye may or may not help. Its very problematic.

Jon Ralph suggests the Suns Hawks game will be at the SCG. Presumably as scheduled on Saturday night. I hope they don't dig it up too much and leave us with an injury. Especially as it looks like rain both days.

True that... albeit to an empty stadium.

Adelaide and Richmond are playing at the GW$ stadium... where ever that is.

... we never win after a bye

It’s actually a great ground to go watch a game.

The Tigers Crows game is at the Giants’ stadium. The Hawks Suns clash at the SCG, at least according to the AFL site.

I've been there.... other than the turkish food available as a second choice to a pie, it's an average stadium.
It's not the SCG

Shall we kick this off?

OUT: Fox, Blakey, McLean
IN: Brand, McInerney, Amartey

I'd like to bring Logan in, but we need to find ruck relief. It's pretty clear they don't want to play McLean at centre bounces, so Amartey plays.

I do wonder if they're thinking about bringing Grey or Taylor in for Wicks, who went quiet after he missed that set shot. I think there's still an opportunity there for Ronke, when he returns (maybe to the VFL side this week?).

In the post-game press conference, John seemed to think Hickey may play this week. I suspect they're planning to bring Naismith to give Hickey a rest, but Sam seems to need a few more games.

Heading up the highway to watch this one in person on Sunday, for the first time this year.

Good changes

I felt sure you'd want to try one of these https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=223687569196709 AnnieH

... we never win after a bye

We win our share of games after a bye. In the last 10 years, we have had five wins and six losses after a bye.

The wins:
2020: Sydney 10.6 (66) Greater Western Sydney 3.7 (25)
2019: Sydney 12.10 (82) Hawthorn 9.9 (63)
2017: Sydney 12.16 (88) Western Bulldogs 6.6 (42)
2014: Sydney 22.16 (148) Geelong 5.8 (38)
2012: Sydney 12.8 (80) Geelong 11.8 (74)

I was all booked to fly up to Sydney from Melbourne tomorrow to watch the big game on Sunday. Now, sadly that has come to an abrupt end thanks to the lockdown. I wonder how many others have had their plans to attend the game thwarted by this?

It's right next to the grand old lady of Australian sport, ANZ stadium, where many great swan memories would forged.

To thine own self be true - I bet Shakespeare was thinking of Barry and ANZ who he wrote that.

Somehow Annie was still able to accidentally find the stadium and enjoy its Turkish cuisine

[Ruck'n'Roll]

Hickey out, Sinkers in - at least it gives Manbeast a break.
Fox out with his eye.
Blakey out, I'd hoped he'd get a chance to establish himself in a position in the 2's

[Daisi]

Have there ever been three AFL games in Sydney on one weekend? How weird is this?

I don't like the idea of the SCG being used for a non Swans game- particularly with the chance of messing up the ground.
