What's with the drums?

Was pretty cool. Maybe Richmond found an alternative to cheerleaders.

Shut up Eddie. Enough with the bondi billionaires. I'm sure you would welcome buddy to collingwood if he had chosen to go there. But he DIDNT. Get over it

Eddie Maguire is certainly the master of the misleading spin. He just opened the pre-game show with a whinge about how easy the Swans' run home is because we only play two more games against current top 8 sides. (And yes, he managed to get a COLA and Academy whinge in there too). Of course, he didn't choose to point out that we've already played 7 games against the other top 8 teams, whereas the Pies have played 4. The Pies have 4 more to go, compared to our 2.

Another way of looking at things is that both clubs double up against Hawthorn and Essendon. We then double up against Richmond, GWS (for obvious reasons) and Port. The Pies against Carlton, Adelaide and West Coast. Not really much difference, especially given Richmond were expected to be far better this year than they are. I realise we finished higher last year and hence should have a slightly harder draw. Overall we do, just slightly.

Eddie has really turned up the BS meter in the last six months. Good to see he got a big whack from Colin Carter over 'equalisation'.

Interesting test without Hannebery. As Horse says, he's a rare player being so strong inside and outside. Plus the Tigers aren't playing to badly and have a good record against us at the G.

I'm tipping a 3-goal win.

Definitely haven't come with the right mind set. Not manning up...not running hard.

Concerned about this one....what about that blatant trip on Buddy? We always have a problem with the umps when playing a Melbourne team in Melbourne...
