Rhyce Shaw would be pissed off. I suppose he's expecting a banner with his face on it.
So no Tippett and no Franklin. Well there's 100k wasted this weekend.
Stats on subs:
Swans choose their sub from the named bench players 81% of the time (5th).
Collingwood is the trickiest at 44%.
OK, time for predictions for this game.....
Swans by 43
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
Prediction:
In the first quarter Jake Lloyd will come off the bench ... he'll FORCE his way toward the ball on the half forward flank, a 3 on 1 contest with some Brisbane brutes. FEARING for his safety, he deftly sidesteps the first two, and ANGRILY fends off the 3rd with a don't argue. His HATE for his harsh treatment at the hands (or would that be claws?) of the Lions players spurs young Lloyd forward, goaling from a tight angle ... Lloyd will Bridbane SUFFER on the scoreboard! Lloyd's path to the Dark Side is compl....Oh wait, wrong Jake Lloyd!
Sydney by 44 (in my numeric tribute to OUR Jake Lloyd)
very composed young kid - love his vision, kick and spread
will be interesting to observe the role and development Jake obtains in 2014 and beyond
For me a little bit of a Sam Mitchell in weight height at same age and besides the obvious vision he possesses.........for me he immediately embraced Bloods Snr Footy in his first game ie fighting above his weight by ripping in with tackle after tackle fighting for the ball
The mini "extractor" !!
"be tough, only when it gets tough"
Weather looks OK, midfield won't be Buddy minded, should play with more freedom, Swans by 8 goals .
