Don't want to wish injuries on anyone...but Waite has a pretty good record against us. He's an unreliable player - but an occasional match winner.

He kicked 1.7 on the weekend so clearly got plenty of it.
For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

Re: Opposition Chatter - Season 2017
Did anyone else watch the GWS game yesterday. To me they looked lazy and disinterested at times, will be interesting to see how they back up. But if they think it's just going to "happen", well we all know how that ends.

Good get. So 6 of 22 from GF day won't play, four of them guns/very good players.

Only Mitchell, Rampe and Heeney were good players on GF day.
McVeigh was as ineffective as Rohan and Richards. They have also replaced McGlynn and Papley is out injured. Although they lose nothing from the GF side with those players missing.
Sydney have effectively lost 8 from the GF but it includes 5 of their worst players on that day.

I think my main point (at least to me) was that it's a very different side we are facing this week, with the two extra names you mention they're only playing 14 (at best) from the GF. Some guns being out helps, but I imagine with wholesale changes in their personnel they're going to be quite different to play. Not least of which we don't have Hamling & Morris on Buddy.

Re: Opposition Chatter - Season 2017
How long is Rampe out for?
Big blow for the Swans - excellent player.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Agree SP.
Noticed that even after any GWS player kicked a goal that there was no enthusiasm or players getting around the goal kicker to gee themselves up.
It looked like something was weighing heavily on their shoulders for the past 6 months

Re: Opposition Chatter - Season 2017
Heard Hannebery didn't pull up well after the game had some soreness in the knee that was hurt GF day but should be right to play us this week regardless. Wonder if that could impact his performance on the harder etihad surface.

Re: Opposition Chatter - Season 2017
So not that it affects us in any way, seeing as we don't play them until a bit later on, but Shai Bolton from Richmond has been suspended for 1 week in the VFL for belting someone in a practice match. The only problem is that the VFL doesn't start for another 3 weeks, meaning he can't serve his suspension until that time, leaving him ineligible for AFL selection until round 5.
