My match of the round, as the perenially underrated premiers take on the perenially hopeful Tigers.
Everyone keeps saying this is the game of the round. Surely 1st vs 2nd is the match of the round? I think Sydney will beat us comfortably at the scg
While I think we're likely to lose, I definitely see this as a game that can be won and a game that is probably going to be a lot closer than most think. We'll be in it for the most part. But yeah, Essendon vs Hawthorn should be match of the round.
I reckon Swans by 31. Sorry Tiger fans but Swans are so good at home. I don't underestimate Richmond tho. Will be a good game regardless. :)
Really hoping for some big numbers from Martin, ROK and Tommy Mitchell.
Go Tiges, massive game for us. Not expecting to win this, but expecting it to be close.
Need a big game from Cotch, Dusty and Ellis.
Cotchin JPK Jack TMitchell. Need some huge scores.
Richmond will get crunched ;D
I bagged the Tigers last week and then they won. This week I think they are a real chance... So they will probably get belted ::)
Only JP Kennedy and Mitchell in this game. 220 between them will do.
Jack, Malcho, JPK in regular SC and then Jack and possibly Mitchell (emergency score) in my draft
#AFLSwansTigers - No changes. Subs: Harry Cunningham (@sydneyswans) and Matthew Arnot (@Richmond_FC)
Awesome, I was slightly worried about Malceski
Cotchin, Titchell & Martin - no less than 300 ;)

Now he just needs to put in a decent score...
And Malceski injured
Richmond going for the GWS approach? 3 taggers..
Eski's already injured and being tagged, Newy started well. Of course! ::)
Really needed Arnot sub :)
well done Cotchin >:(
new recruits Ibbotson and Cotchin could be gone as quickly as they came in..

Possible AC joint. He has been down in the rooms for the last 3 minutes or so

Also, up the Tiges! 8)
Malceski strapped had a jab and back on the bench. Thank F for that

Who's being tagged ?
Malceski by White, but he as been off most of the game so far, McVeigh by Ellis and O'Keefe by Jackson
Thanks Matt. Glad Jack and JPK are being left alone.
Nicolls, Swallow, Reiwoldt, Masten and Malceski.... And my 2 trades have gone for a combined 36 points..... Flower this shower
C'mon all my XVs players, I don't wanna lose to exit the World Cup so early...
I think I need a stiff drink.

If Malceski doesnt come back out all my hopes of beating Rico are over. :/

He has been back on for the last couple of minutes. If he gets subbed I'm turning the game off and going to go do anything else
Conca looks to be running with Jack at the moment since every time Jack has the ball he is doing damage. Malceski has just had a tackle and a kick before that, so lets go Malcho, hopefully it isn't too serious
Shaun Grigg, please replicate your performance from last week.
So Martin has had 2 goals in the first and I brought NRoo in ahead of him who got injured. What an ishy weekend.

meh, certainly wouldnt help. :/
Pumped for next round already! ;D
Cotchin can go flower himself :-[
Tiges level at QT, you beauty! 8)
Nice quarter, Dusty is a GUN 8)
Lift Lids and Cotch.
Just needs Eski to get at least 60 SC by the end of the game or before he gets subbed (if at all he does).
Holy fudge Tom Mitchell is a bloody gun! We all know JOM will win rising star but is TMitch eligible?
Jack is a freak
K-Jack you beast! 8)
Malceski grabbing at his shoulder

Malceski grabbing at his shoulder
Oh no, don't tell me...
Yeah he's still on but not comfortable with it.
Quote from: its me lads on July 28, 2013, 05:54:02 PM

I'm not comfortable with the fact that he's in discomfort. I'll rage if he gets subbed for less than 50 SC.
I say they give him a jab at HT.
He's on 37 at the moment, not too bad.
I am happy with whatever I can get from him. Considering there was a potential for a 0, every point is a bonus. He jammed the arm on the ground diving to spoil when he was grabbing at it again but he looked alright after the initial sting. Hopefully he can get through the game and get up next week and it is nothing serious.
Happy that Cotchin has finally come out to play
C'mon Eski, have a big 3rd quarter...
He's lifted a bit! Keep going Eski!
Eski up to 65. A lot of respect for that man right now after I thought he was gone.
I <3 Kieren Jack. He is up to 105.
Cotchin and Ellis did nothing that quarter... Hoping for a big Q4 but not looking likely.
Jack is BACK! ;D
Nicholas Malceski, sorry I ever doubted you.
Turnover by Malceski but at least he is out there
Here comes Biscuits! 8)
Go you good thing!
Vickery being carted off
Jack <3 You are an absolute freak of a player.
Malceski 82 after basically missing the entire 1st quarter. Jack 137, Kennedy a disappointing 90, Mitchell 105, ROK 133, Dusty making me pay for getting NRoo with 125 :-\
Happy with how Eski finished, similar to Eric in the end.

I'll take 67 points between them in the 4th quarter 8)
Swans are still underrated :P

You actually are, Swans are the second best team in the comp just behind the Hawks for me.
I think the top 4 you can't split. Hawks, Swans, Cats, Dockers. I don't rate Essendon that highly and think the others are better teams. When Freo play with their best side, which is bound to happen eventually this year, i think they are better than the Hawks. Pav, Ballantyne, McPharlin, Sandilands (At full fitness) some of the missing names.

Yep me too PB.
I rate Essendon as 5th then the Tigers and Pies after them. Then Port or Blues for 8th.
The Swans are still missing Goodes, Reid, Shaw, Jetta, McGlynn and LRT (although i dont know if LRT is in the best 22 anymore) along with the AJ who wont be back for a while and Mattner who wont be back
and of course Rohan
there's some good names there wow!
