Massive game for both the Swans and Dees. Despite the big difference in odds (Swans paying $3.20 vs Melb $1.37), both teams are on 48 points with a record of 12-7. Both teams also have very difficult draws - Dees have WC away and GWS home. The big difference is percentage. A Melbourne win would likely guarantee them a spot in the bottom of the 8 for finals even if they lose their last two games. The Swans don't have that luxury with their poor percentage so need to win this game and one other.
Fearing the worst, hoping for the best. Swans by 8
We have been better after an 8 Days Break! ( A bye was too long though!) We also perform better when we are the underdog! Go Swans!
Buddy must be feeling good because he participated in the warm up and had shots at goal. In previous games in Melbourne I don't recall seeing him out there.
Aliir was taking it easy listening to music and going through drills.
What's the weather like in Melbourne this afternoon? I've kinda forgotten what rain looks, feels and smells like living in Sydney this winter but I gather it's been rather wet in Melbourne in recent weeks. The ground looked slippery for the Cats Dorks game yesterday, so I imagine it will be the same for this game, even if it's dry today.
Is it a good thing to have McVeigh, Hanners and Jack all in the one team? Elite players at their best, but are we too slow with all three?
Fingers crossed we get a fair go from the umpires.
Looking sharp today, good signs early.
I must say we are looking pretty good early with fantastic effort and pressure all over the ground, which makes it even more frustrating when we dish up some of the very ordinary stuff that we have this year! Lets hope we can keep this style of play up!
