Sydney Swans V Western Bulldogs R16, Friday 27/6/25 at SCG at 7:40pm

[Bornadog]

Via John Ralph.

Tom McCartin battling with gastro and in real doubt for what would be a match shaping matchup with Sam Darcy. Swans already battling with a lack of key talls. Buller is the emergency held over from the VFL but he is a forward @FOXFOOTY

Jon now says:

McCartin not expected to play now. Melican likely the Darcy match up. Sydney can throw Francis back, play Buller forward

Melican is 193cm and Darcy 208cm - will be interesting

Genuine danger game. Widely expected to win against a team capable of beating us and a 5 day break

[Twice Bitten]

Margin: Dogs by 32 points
Our first goal scorer: Rhylee West
Our top goal scorer: Sam Darcy (6 goals)
Best on ground: Marcus Bontempelli

We have enough worries with Heeney Goulden Warner Grundy and Papley. All seem to do well against us, so we need to win the centre and have it down our end and keep it in. Jordon will have a job, Dale or Richards is my tip

Darcy has 6 inches on Melican.....

Darcy has 6 inches on Melican.....

Fine, I’ll do it…

what about height?

[Grantysghost]

The start is super important
The Swans came out breathing fire against the power last week and really setup the win early.

We have to be ready.

Going behind by four or five early is not something we can afford.

I think we win, but we've hit the swans on an uptick.

I know that you all know that the SCG is a very short ground, and when you attend a game and you are sitting at about on the 50 meter line, it is really close to the centre square. the ground is so short.

We have players that can break from the centre and love kicking long goals such as Richards., Bont and FJ these days. I hope they have a crack and this could be a factor tonight.

I am pretty confident we will hammer these clowns.
