Question:
Who will win?
Option 1: Swans by 40+
votes: 5
Option 2: Swans by 1-39
votes: 15
Option 3: Pies
votes: 2
Option 4: Draw
votes: 1
The Pies embarrassed themselves in the season opener and Sydney managed to lose to their cross-town rivals for the first time. Obviously, both teams are extremely disappointed but which of them has the ability to bounce back stronger? In Sydney, against a team looking at a top 4 finish, the Pies should struggle to get up. Can they do it?
Swans by 40+
and Buddy to have a huge game.
Swans by 4 goals
I hope Sydney make amends. Not overly liking the fact we have to play the Pies the week after they got embarrassed as well!!
Swans by 28

Tend to agree with you there. Not sure about Buddy (hopeful for my DT and SC's sakes) but I think the Swans will wipe the floor with them.
Swans by about 50 for me.
JPK playing his 100th game (consecutive as it happens) as a Swan and Nick Smith also to notch up his 100th game
Swans easily.

Wow Laidler would'nt want to be Sydney's best player next time he get's a game. Surely he is injured?.......gobsmacked

I had been saying it for weeks. Laidler was always going to struggle once some of the big names came back. Having both Shaw and Eski named on the wings last week was the dead give away.
This week both named on the Half back line where they always play

Just because someone has the game's highest SC score doesn't mean that they are the team's best player in that game ::)

Much more faith in Shaw and Eski running the ball out of defense.

When he was at the Blues he would play on the 3rd tall/resting ruck, he was never a rebounding defender running the ball out of the backline. He was the general and would zone off his opponent to either intercept mark or come across and help spoil the ball, similar to Josh Gibson at the Hawks. That is what he is exceptional at and you could see signs of that last week. I am surprised he was dropped, I thought he was really good in the one on ones from what I could see on TV. It looked like he could work really well in tandem with Malceski, there were a couple of times early where it looked like they were zoning space really well and setting up the play the way he and Scotland used to do it at the Blues. Looking at who Rampe was playing on last week, they have to be competing for the same spot, I think he was better then both Rampe and Grundy, but you can't have Laidler playing on someone like Cloke (although he has done it before in patches) all game, so he won't push Grundy out of the side which puts him in the straight competition with Rampe.

This.
And this makes me sad, because I love both Laids and Medusa. :(
Go goes pendles as vice
If Pendles is your vice who are you making captain?
Closer than everyone thinks,
Sydney by 17
Subs anyone?
Edit: Bird and Adams ;)
Bird and Adams subs Dwyer in for Witts
Sydney by about 5 goals tonight I think...
Interesting that Taylor Adams gets the vest!
Hope the Swans smash.
Swan, Beams (C), Rohan, McVeigh and Mitchell in AF iirc
Good ol Collingwood forever...go go go

Swan, Beams (C), Rohan, McVeigh and Mitchell in AF iirc
And Cunningham and Dericxx on the bench (rohan is also on the bench iirc)
Good start for my players so far.
Where is pendles ??
Cloke and Beams. 8)
If the early signs are anything to go by, tonight's games are going to extend our fantasy pain.
Definately my players already screwing around pendles need to keep some ball 2 touches :/ cant rely on tackles all night buddy and abblet on 9 sc
That's the Sydney I wanted to see 8)
Lift Beams!
WHAT THE HELL SWAN
Quote from: Master Q on March 29, 2014, 08:34:17 PM
WHAT THE HELL SWAN
I know its easy for me to say this now, but I really do feel like this is the year when Swan will finally start to decline
Cloke kick his first. :D
RD who did make you captain?? Surely someone as knowledgable would have pick someone good.

Hey Dan, thanks for the nice comment :) but there are heaps of knowledgeable people here on FF!
Made Ablett VC and if he doesn't go big will make Libba Captain
Only had Danger and Dusty as options before tonight and they didn't interest me
Luke Ball must of had Beef Shanks for lunch
F U Derickx. You're still a spud mate. ::)
And there goes an easy 9 points for Swanny owners - should have held that!!
I guess Rohan had lunch with Ball
Jeez Pendlebury is a gun! Just so good 8)
Titchy needs to lift!
Great goal Buddy.
What a joke that they don't even have a camera on the goal line
This review system is farcical
Seriously, could they have any worse camera angles to review that goal!
Yeah what the flower is the point of it haha
Good to see Pendles is giving it to Derickx, dog hit before.
Hickey was on 86 at half time.
Keiren Jack, Ryan O'Keefe, Dane Swan and Steele Sidebottom are on a combined 73 at half time.

I have Max King at R4. I also had Rocky to use this round ::)
Yep, I put Hickey on bench and made him E and put King on field

Same.
Hey Pendles please slow down and Beams lift! :-\
Pendles had 3 touches at 1/4 time, and now its not even 3/4 time and he is up to 125. What a gun, just need Ablett to keep in touch with him!
Pendlebury as Captain is the only good thing for me today.
Can't believe Swans are still letting Pendles roam around by himself :o
Longmire must have him in his SC team :-X
Did anyone see my thread on why to put pendles as VC see imagine if you all listened to me lol jks
Quote from: JROO8 on March 29, 2014, 09:49:00 PM

Beams is the 2nd highest scoring Pie, it's just that Pendles is making everyone look bad!
Dont worry guys ablett on 99 will go big maybe bigger than pendles and sandi 111 this could fix my week but then again ROHAN and flowering Langdon on field
Come on, big quarter Beamsy.

Yeah he's doing ok, but it's not a great captain score, especially when the other guys I were looking at in Sandi and Ablett are doing well.
Quote from: Master Q on March 29, 2014, 09:57:21 PM
Come on, big quarter Beamsy.
1000000 points should help my team this week
Rohan subbed.
Rohan. :'(
Wasn't able to shift him off my field in DT this week.
When was the last time Swan had single figure possessions at 3/4 time :o
Pendles already 6sc this quarter hahaha
Sandi needs 18 more hitouts for the record 50 already my word
I honestly say this without sarcasm, because it sucks to have a player subbed off, but if you fielded Rohan, then I told you so :-\
Beams goal, good stuff son!
Geeez I wish I put the VC on Pendles instead of Ablett!
Quote from: RaisyDaisy on March 29, 2014, 10:19:09 PM

Any idea what his sc looks like i will settle for 145
Blokes at champion data must hate Rohan. 6 tackles (4), 2 frees (4), 1 point (1) = 33. That Doesn't include his 6 kicks, 2 handballs and 1 mark and he only finished with 38. What a joke.
Lol you're a flog White, should've passed that to Beams.
Pendles you are a god :-*

From his 8 disposals he went at 25% efficiency, i.e only 2 of his disposals were effective. He then also had 2 clangers which are negative points, so makes sense mate.

I've got Scooter in AF so we'll see how that goes. Ablett in DT hurts a lot and SC annoying because I could've and should've had Pendles.
