Swans will be hurting after last weeks loss to Hawks but at home on the SCG should be too strong for the Bombers.
Swans, Buddy will probably have 18 shots and only score 5 goals lol

no no no no no
I think this will be a good game, Swans by 11.
This will turn out to be a ripper game. Swans to get a decent early lead but then the Bombers will peg them back, only for Swans to just get over the line... by 7 points #psychic
The Swans will be too good I reckon, Buddy to have a 'mare.
Swans by fiddy
How does everyone think Carlisle will go after his breakout game?
Personally, I think he'll be shut down and only kick 1-2.

not of all of us feel that way most of them are just idiots
who do they think will kick goals if he is in defense?
If it's close we'll win
If not we'll go down easily
Hopefully we don't get refballed to death like last time
I wish this was at etihad. Think it would be a close game there.
I also wish this was at Etihad. I could go to the game :(
C'mon JPK VC.. Swannies by 17.

Sydney to pump the drug cheats!

Buddy out...
Final team: Out - Lance Franklin (soreness). In - Tim Membrey (Gippsland U18). Sub - Jake Lloyd #AFLSwansDons
Get on the Dons for the win. :o
Part of me feels an upset coming!

Yep, he will kick 20 and still be dropped next week for Buddy and will then move to Carlton and win the coleman next year.

I mean, otherwise he'll have to wait out the 9 years of Buddy's contract for his second game. :P
Ambrose getting his chance in my side this week after a late out from Buddy - make the most of it son!

No one is expecting him to kick 70+ goals 9 years in a row lol

He misses like 3-4 games a season with knee related stuff, not really that major.
I'd be more worried about Tippett, who misses 3-4 chunks of games every 2nd month

Mega bucks for these two and agree Tippett misses far to many games but Buddies knee is starting to look like a chronic knee problem think it might catch up with him in a couple of years and the Swans still should have a good win hope so got JPK as VC ;)
It's bad news having both of them Tippett is more a stay at home forward and Buddy will be once he gets older and injuries catch up with him will still be a good forward line but the 10 year deal was a buddy huge mistake
FFS now I have to cop Pavs score
There's a very strong breeze blowing @scg. Goalkicking at the Paddington end will be tough. Bounce in 25min

So I guess the umpires have just made a rule that whenever Goodes takes a mark they just ball it up instead

He should have 5 :)
McVeigh was massive that quarter.
I thought JPK was quite, but he's on 37 even though he's only going at 43%DE.
Was not a mark, didn't have control of it. Ray has been good as always, but the other two mediocre. You can do whatever you want to Paddy when he's going for the mark apparantly.
I'd be interested to see which team gets the worst luck with the opposition's goalkicking accuracy. Fairly sure we'd be #1 by far.

happy so far
and about to make nachos
Why is Howlett so inconsistent, he'll go missing for a few games in a row then go mental and kick 5 with 30 touches.
Nice goal there by Benny.

I've got him in AXVs and find this incredibly annoying haha.
Can't tell if Sydney Swans or Sydney Ducks...
19 frees to 9, where have I seen this before...if you can't buy your way to the premiership, the umps will do it for you.
Paddy Ryder has been great again.

Godbless you Ted Richards and Grundy. Split the 3 Votes between you
Why could you not do this last week Eski?
Pretty low scores it seems?
Frustrating when the boundary umpires are getting more touches than the players.
Dons wasted their chances against a quality opposition in the umpires
Goddard pls.
24 free kicks to 11

Yup after the first half I thought it would be a 100 point slaughter but you guys definitely lifted
Ok guys, skewed free kick counts can come from two things: dodgy umpiring or poor discipline. A bit of both was involved. Saw some shocking blunders from some Dons players, including Grundy being slung to the ground 10 metres away from the ball in the last q.
