    No way known were those tackles even reportable let alone worth of suspension.

    The Scully hit was worth about 3 weeks though so he's probably fortunate to be playing.

    Swans 22.59.191
    GWS 4.0.24

    At half time the backs and forward swap over and Ted kicks 12.

    In all seriousness GWS will have a red hot crack early but the disparity in experience and AFL ready bodies should see a blow out. Swans by 100+

    Normally I wouldn't buy in, but after watching the Swans against Gold Coast I can say that although the boys were blowing up a bit, they were way ahead of the GoldCoast. To my mind it just follows that now matter what GWS could not yet have the four quarter power to stay on top of the game. Just my bit of thought process. I was somewhat impressed that even our young kids held their own re lung capacity and leg strength.

    Say what you want, but Folau shouldn't have been reported for either of those incidents. Conspiracy theorists need to take a chill pill.

    We'll win and win well but, being the Swans, we'll get 40 ahead and cruise rather than bury them.

    My thoughts exactly, Doctor. We don't usually put teams away (remember that match against a woeful Brisbane), but this is a chance to change that. Week off afterwards means there's no argument for conserving energy and aavoiding injuries if we get ten goals up, either.

    I may have got that one wrong but one would hope if another player does the same thing that they get let off.

    It just seemed a bit fishy to me that Folau would get let off.

    The precedent has been set.

    Thanks!!!
    That's hilarious.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Agreed, sadly. And agree with R-1 that I wish we'd stop doing this and gleefully stomp when we get the chance to stomp. A good slaughter now and then is refreshing, especially considering our capacity for so many nailbiter-finish games.
