R20, AFL 2010 Dockers V Swans: Pre-Game Discussion

[Triple B]

I definately heard the bit that his season was over as well ugg

I missed why, but he did say season over.

[ugg]

I thought I'd read somewhere that Johnston's hip injury was season ending.

I swear that's what he said at the half time interview with Byron Cooke. The audio wasn't that flash though so possibly I misheard

[Triple B]

All 3 emergencies will be playing for the reserves, so I'm guessing one or more of them will be flying back to Canberra or Sydney as soon as the warm up is complete as the reserves game is on the Sunday

They'll probably leave at 3/4 time and be on the 16:30 Perth-Canberra direct flight Sat afternoon.

[Triple B]

And until this year they had never beaten us at the SCG........

Rd 2 1996.

Yes I should have added that Smith is playing.

4 ins to the reserves team last week Smith, Currie, Johnston and Meredith and at this stage no outs.

No Bird or Barlow though.

We haven't played at Subi during the day since 2004 when Barry Hall threw the phone away after being dragged.

[Peace]

pretty happy with no changes (so far) we showed plenty of pace last week so hopefully it will be a good game!

[Jewels]

We haven't beaten the Dockers at Subiaco since Round 15, 1998, when we won by 13 points - and that was the only time we've beaten them at Subiaco.

Since then, it's been an an almost routine defeat when we go over there by about 4 goals.

Hopefully, the law of averages will be on our side this time.

So we have a better record against the Eagles at Subi than against the Dockers.

That's breaking some kind of law.

Nothing's set in stone, given they flew out yesterday and had to get through a training session today it's probably just precautionary. Or a few players are sore?

Swans Website says all Emergencies travelled to Perth?

Interesting. Fair enough I guess.

[Nich]

Freo are ripe for the picking and IMO we should probably win this game. We are a hell of a lot closer to full strength than they are.

Quite true but they are also 13 wins from their last 15 games @ Subi. It will be tough, but the boys can do it!

Does your info source tell you whether Smith is due to play with the reserves this week? Would be good to get a game into him so he is in contention for selection against the Dogs next week, back at the SCG.
