    Not looking forward to tonight at all. Dogs are going to cheat. Umps will get sucked in. We will make stupid mistakes on
    the field. I will lose the plot, and be asked to stop swearing. It's going to be great.
    The type of game where you would be happy for an already planned social engagement so you can either, ignore the game entirely, or happily watch us thump the Cheats on replay.

        Absolutely. A nice dinner out somewhere, deliberately forget to take my phone, pretend the game is not even happening. We should
        be paid to go to the SCG tonight, not the other way around. Especially after last weeks debacle where we purposely chose an "easy"
        game to watch for the timing of the trip to Melbourne.

          Same! Still enjoyed Melbourne though.

          I'm taking a French visitor to their first game tonight so let's hope it's (a) not dreadful and (b) the right result.

            Supremely pumped to be back for my first live SCG game since the farewell to the big four of Reg, Smooch, Macca and Kieran Jack, and Buddy’s 300th.

            Was running through a list of players I’ll be seeing live for the first time in their careers - there are nine, including P Mc and Ladhams, plus a batch of the young ones. I won’t know where to look.

            May the umps be kind to us and let’s hope we take the game on and spank the cheats.

            Oh, and how the hell did I live in such a cold city for so long. You people are freaks.

              France.... now there's a thought.... maybe I'll leave the country. No Covid test required there, I'll buy a ticket out at the airport
              like the old days. There's a night flight with Qatar. Anything to avoid seeing those people in red, blue and white again and
              dredging up those memories....

                No Hickey. That means plodding journeyman Ladhams and poor old Sam Reid forced into ruckman duty again. The Swans will be under enormous pressure in the midfield a season defining game.

                      And (c) your French visitor is not totally désorienté!

                        Here's hoping it's a good one!

                        In terms of who to watch - keep an eye on Dylan Stephens. Sure he's still learning the game and has some confidence issues, but geez he runs well for a young guy. Watching him move up and down the wing and cover a lot of space makes me think that it will all come together for him eventually.

                        I think it's only by seeing a young player like that live gives you an appreciation of their potential.

                          They need to bring back some honour to the club tonight. They lose and its all over for 2022. It will be difficult as part of the AFL regulations the Bulldogs must get at least 12 extra free kicks before the outcome is legal.

                            I will go with a stat of:

                            Swans 11

                            Bulldogs 19

                            Hopefully I am wrong

                              Is that goals or free kicks?
