| Swans average over 90 points a game, so are not as defensive as they used to be. They have some excellent kids along with the return of Franklin and Rampe, although Heeney and Reid likely to miss. They are well coached and on the right track. It’s a game we would have pencilled in before round 1, but how things have changed. |

Madgen and Wilson in, perhaps? Certainly going to be hard to replace those two.

About the same chance as Howe I would say, unfortunately. Saw him kick 6 against the Swans at VP, would have been a handy in

We definitely need a big bodied mid in the team to bolster our centrefield against Kennedy, Parker, Heeney and the electric pace of some of their young newly drafted mids |
Yes but how would you describe their pace?

Yep I fear we will be undermanned to a great extent. Hard to see us winning.

Nah it will never happen. The MRP being impartial when dealing with Collingwood is to expect the impossible. As you said we have been stitched up numerous times. To not acknowledge these is to live in constant denial which is something I don’t do. The worst was when Pebbles was suspended for the Grand Final for an extremely iffy supposed strike.

True comrade, and let us not forget that thug Barry Hall, KOd a Weagles player with a vicious round house right, and somehow, somehow, got off, on orders from the corrupt League, cos they wanted the Swannies to win the Premiership, so they quashed it. To this day, it was the most utterly corrupt decision of any League tribunal, KO a player, an u get off to be in a Premiership. ! Unreal. unreal.

After a long rudderless period, let's say we steadied against North and now we lose Roughy and Murphy.
And I don't expect Jordy to get 9 shots at goals.
We are faaaaaaraket lol
Franklin didn't kick a goal against Melbourne, Holy Cow, he would kick 20 against Magden.
Moore must play on Franklin, Keane FB and Kelly gives us a structure to work with.
Wilson could get a shot..but a left-field option is playing Ollie on the wing, and bringing Cox in to stretch their defenses.
Changing things around and going tall up forward could end up positive rather than bandaid.
So, ins:
Kelly, Cox ( or Wilson ) |

I believe the incident you were referring to was against St Kilda at the MCG. The Staker incident wasn't in their premiership year

Yeah good pick up. However Piesnchess is absolutely correct in what he says. That Barry Hall fiasco was as corrupt a deal as I have ever seen. If he was a Collingwood player, he would have got the Phil Carman treatment and rubbed out for (in his case) two grand finals 🤬 Actual history never lies regardless of how people try to rewrite it.

9 wins, 15 losses. Our good ground is ANZ where we've won 10, lost 3.
Subiaco, WACA and Princess Park are only grounds with a worse winning record than SCG. |
Your stats are correct, of course - but we've only played there 24 times in the history of the VFL/AFL - and I'm not sure of the significance of the result in a game against Fitzroy in 1903 or against Richmond in 1952.
We didn't play at the SCG between 2000 and 2015. We've played 5 games against Sydney there, since (1 each year). The results were 2 wins and 3 losses - and we've won 2 of the last 3 there (and 3 of the last 4 against the Swans - we beat them by 9 points in 2020 at the Gabba):
- 2019 (won by 7 points)
- 2018 (lost by 2 points)
- 2017 (won by 1 point)
- 2016 (lost by 80 points)
- 2015 (lost by 11 points). |

PNC, I think that you are a bit confused about different events.
Hall received a 7 week suspension in 2008 for belting Staker.
Sydney didn't play in the GF in that year.
You are thinking of 2005 when he punched Matt Maguire in the stomach and was offered a one week suspension but challenged it and won with a reprimand being given. |

Yep – think it's fair to say that, much as GWS have the wood over us, we've performed well against the Swans up in Sydney for as long as I can remember, that opening round debacle in 2016 aside. I'm expecting a close game at the very least.

I think Kelly is the other option if we dont go Madgen.
