Rnd 11 Pre-Match Thread, vs Carlton at SCG, 7:50 PM Friday 26 May

[mcs]

“(Michael) O’Loughlin will appear at Moore Park on Friday night alongside 18 of his fellow past Indigenous players to commemorate Marn Grook at the SCG. The Swans champion will present the Goodes-O’Loughlin medal to the best on the ground as part of the evening’s celebrations.”

No mention of Adam Goodes. Still, indigenous round at the SCG in front of Carlton supporters is probably not a good memory for AG.

Very happily Goodesy is there today, and we have a new statue of him too that looks magnificent - material shared on the Swans facebook page (sorry can't like from this computer to it!)

So good! From Twitter:

Adam Goodes has been immortalised with an incredible sculpture outside of Sydney Swans HQ

I'm sure it will be reported at the club site soon.

Fantastic - and that they chose to form the statue around his dance from the game against Carlton is even better.

Perhaps a few Carlton fans will feel a bit triggered as they wander in?

I’m trying to work out from the short Twitter clip where it is. The combinations of backgrounds in the Mickey O shot and then the Goodsey shot suggest it’s between the members stand and the SFS. Does that mean it’s in the Members’ section of the ground?

I think it’s near the fancy new building? At least the bit behind Goodesy looks like it.

Wow! Great news - great depiction and great timing.

Without wanting to totally divert this thread, I wonder if AG might be enticed back once GMcL is gone?

Gil the Dil is gone but Dil the Dil is now there haha. They are all a part of The Boys Club. All Private School Boys.?Belive me there is nothing worse than a Private School for using divisiveness.

He doesn't play tall and is a step too slow. If he could play on the big boys, he would be in the team instead of Melican. He also lacks athleticism.

Melican is 2 steps too slow.

aaaaand yet another Murdoch press Carlton blow torch article this morning. Two page spread by Mick Maguane thumb nailing every Carlton player and how they are performing below standard this year.

Just imagine the pitchforks out for them if we can win tonight with only half a side.

Sells papers.

Corey Warner omitted from the final VFL side, the other 3 emergencies are playing.


Curnow and Fogarty the 2 Carlton emergencies omitted from their VFL side.

Ok. Found the statue. It’s tucked away a bit. Almost on the corner of Lang Road.

[Blood Fever]

If Melican is in before him, maybe I'm being kind to Will. Lewis has played on the big guys before.

I wondered why the bookies suddenly wound in Carlton from $1.94 to $1.75 as the ins/outs didn't look anything dramatic, then I noticed Stevic is umpiring, plenty of soft frees for Carlton now!

Why do we always get that ***t when we play Victorian teams?

The A(V)FL has sent up Stevic and that other p***k to save them.
