Still need to confirm the date and time for this one.
Big game. Need to do better I feel than we did last night. We were a little flat at times.

I hate Sunday games, but at least better than 4.40

Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2021
At 3.20 with an open roof, it's going to be shocking if there's any sun about.

HUN and Longmire disagrees:
Quote:
Sydney will stay in Melbourne for another week to take on the Western Bulldogs, which Swans coach John Longmire said he expected to be played at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.
“We were told on the way in, not from anyone internally, that we were playing on Saturday night,” Longmire said on Sunday.
“But I’m yet to hear any official word yet.”

Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2021
I'll be happy with 3.20 Sunday.
It will allow me to go.
Surely with the absence of cases we can go back to normal crowds and conditions.
Even when they had positive cases attend matches earlier this year, there were no reports of any transmission attributable to football attendance.

Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2021
3:20pm Sunday at Marvel confirmed.

Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2021
Forward line looks flat without Naughts. Who will play on Cody? If it's Lloyd he'll make him nervous in the air.

Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2021
I believe at this stage the roof will be open again unless there a new announcements.

Confirmed 75% to a maximum of 40,000 for outdoor stadiums. Assume this will mean roof open but have to wait and see.

What swings the game in Sydney’s favour?

If Franklin gets up the ground I think he will wreck havoc on Cordy who would most likely take him. I think Hayward will do a job on Dale in a tagging role and then going deep on the rebound.
Naughton is a massive out. Make no mistake of that.
Swans have some good kids. If they can break even in the clearances I think that will just be enough for them to kick a winning score.
Sydney have a diverse fwd line with buddy, papley and Heeney leading the way. Throw Hayward, Wicks, McInerney into the mix and they have good avenues to goal. Gotta keep an eye on that Amarty guy. Looks alright. They have a lot of rotations through the middle with Kennedy, Florent, Parker, mills, hewett and rowbottom.
Need dunks and Treloar back.
Should be a cracker of a game with JUH debuting, but I just feel they’ll do enough when it counts.

I’m not sure what makes you think Cordy will run with Buddy… I would think Keath gets that role 100 times out of 100.
Does Hayward have the running power that Dale has?
Naughton is a massive out.. no doubt.
The swans have a pretty slow midfield and whilst Hickey is having a really good season, his ruck work isn’t amazing. We have a clear advantage around the ball and if we make it count we will dictate field position which will give us the edge.
Sydney have some good kids… ours are better.
Anyway as you’ve given us away this week it will be good to have you on our side for 5 of the last 6 weeks. ;)

Well, if buddy gets up to the wing, I’d doubt Keath will go with him. He might, but Bevo likes Keath deep, and so do I.
I’d be confident Hayward would go ok. Just depends on how far Bevo wants his half backs to push fwd. My Hayward lockdown on Dale would be more defensive 50 to mid…not necessarily if Dale ran into the fwd line. Sydney need to stop Dale getting the ball out of defence with his elite kicks.
Yes, we have the better midfield, but without dunks and Treloar, do we have the deepest midfield in THIS game ?
I’m not picking syd by 50 points. This will be a hard slog of gut running. Win the clearances and stop their mid type fwds from kicking goals and we will probably win.
Naughton plays and I’d be picking us. He’s that important.
It will be close either way. Can’t see either team winning over 3 goals.
It’s not about giving us away. I hope we win, and win by 100 pts, but I wasn’t impressed with last weeks effort. We looked a bit tired after a tough month. We won’t win the last 7. This is one I just think we might fall short.

We are still number one for clearances and Sydney sit 6th, I think we will do ok there.
Can't see Sydney winning this one.

I wouldn't read too much into last weeks game.. we did enough to win, whilst not overly exerting ourselves. I would be expecting our pressure to be more like the WC game when we made it extremely difficult for them to move the ball from defence to attack compared to last week when we were largely in 1st gear.
Important our small forwards are on their A game with regard to offensive pressure... with Dunkley & Treloar not far away it's time for the likes of JJ, Hannan, Scott & Wallis to stake their claim for a our spot in our finals team as we can't fit them all in. (Flea still needs to show up, but he's clearly best 22 now)
And whilst our midfield is a little thin in depth, Bont, Macrae & Libba with support from others have been super all year so expecting all to show up on Sunday with the right attitude and to take it up to Sydney.

Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2021
Swans have been impressive this season performing far better than most would have predicted but we should still be too strong for them.

Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2021
If JUH kicked 5 goals today would Bevo be lauded for being patient and bringing him at the right time or would there be some who would say he should have done it earlier?
I hope he gets the footy a few times early to relieve any nerves he might have.

If he kicks five goals today we win and I honestly couldn't care less about the background noise.
