    Match Day Thread - Swans vs Bulldogs

    Cold, wet and miserable day here in Sydney. Looks like the rain has set in.

    Anyone care to reconsider our chances of winning?

    Surely they'll take out of the 3 ruckman/forwards out in this kind of weather. I'll let you know who's missing from the ressies in about an hour

    JPK is going to show Boyd that men who model knitwear are not to be trifled with! Underneath the cable knit is a body and mind of steel.
    There'll be plenty of spoons full of Sugar Shane Mumford handed out with the red and white medicine today.
    Our wet weather contested king, Jude "FREEDOM" Bolton, is going to cause a world full of pain our there on the SCG.
    Bring it on.
    Oh and don't forget your poncho!

    Loved Lewis RT's attack on the contest.
    Loved Shaw's run run run - his best game of the year by far, especially as he started out also responsible for the dangerous Dalhaus
    Loved how Hanners just kept going all game long. He doesn't do the flash but he's as relentless as they come.
    Loved Lewis J's dash, flair, skill, composure, modesty (most of the time).
    Loved Old Man Jude turning back the clock.
    Love Ted. Full stop.
    Absolutely Liz. So much to love.

    I was so glad TDL finally got a game NOT as the sub. He is a clever little forward - that first goal was classic cheeky reserves-grade chance taking. Not only puts 6 points on the board but really makes the opposition kick themselves.

    Excellent work, Lucky. Looking forward to your predictions for this week.

    Really, really impressed with Pyke. Gets the first touch, puts it where he wants it. Sticks his tackles too, though somehow I always think he looks like he's being rather delicate. I know it must be some kind of optical illusion but he looks like a big guy trying not to hurt the kiddies even as he pins them down mercilessly. (I know, probably just beer goggle related.)

    You would think so. But then again, this weather was forecast when they selected the team on Friday. After all, the decision to switch the reserves game was made then. I can't see the wisdom in ever going into a game with all three of Mumford /Pyke / LRT as rucks / forwards, let alone on a wet day. Maybe they are planning to move LRT back to defence to look after one of the Dogs' tall gangly ruck / forwards. Could we see Reg go forward again?

    Logic says one of the three will be the sub. That doesn't make any sense though. Late change coming I think.

    I agree, the only plausible reason for having all 3 in the line up today is if LRT goes back to defence, someone from defence goes forward.

    I'd rather Reg stayed in defence though, so maybe AJ could go forward seeing as he did play his whole junior career there.

    Good old reliable ugg!
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
