didnt mind the look of him up forward at all providing the backline can hold up…worth trying again next week against the Eagles who are a bottom 4 side

Felt good going into today that we would respond but didn’t expect a 50 point smashing! Party time in that last quarter very enjoyable to be there screaming my head off!

I reckon we can win I’m not as enamoured with the Swans as this unbeatable team as many…they have games like every other where they look pretty ordinary, lost to a poor Essendon at the MCG last year for example

Going in with a very short forward line not sure why we think this will work...?

The problem if May is injured again isn’t just for his stopping ability it’s that he’s a brilliant playmaker, takes heaps of intercept marks and wins a stack of the ball…we have a lot of good defenders but he is the general back there

The bookies must think we’ll win to get everyone to pile on Sydney at over $2 (I’m not serious that not how bookies work)

Agree last week for them means nothing, Hawthorn aren't AFL quality they are all kids like GWS in 2012. They had a very soft game we need to shock them with intensity from the opening bounce

LJ traded back to us for a 4th rounder sounds fair

We can win if we play at our best, too many supporters writing this one off before the first bounce of the ball!

About time we turned our poor record again the Swans around, they aren’t THAT terrifying…in a weird way no Max might be a good thing as it will give the midfield a different look that they haven’t seen for a while

Its JVR time

It’s offical we can breathe again 4-6 weeks

We don’t need to win every match either..:halfway point at around 7-5 would be fine as long as we have plenty in the tank for the rest of the season

Please be right and just a medial….even if he’s out until the bye we can cope with that

Agree doesn’t look good but we can’t toss the whole year in….I can think of 3 clubs off the top of my head who won flags when they lost a vital player for the year with an ACL (Port 2004, Bulldogs 2016, Tigers 2019) Let’s hope for the best though

Brutal competition, we’re not just going to waltz through the year without drama…bad night for the boys but we will reload and go again next week

Haven’t been smashed like this in a while…just have to take the L and move on sadly

Gulp

Losing to a team that has Hipwood and Daniher as their key forwards would make me puke…impossible to find two flakier players

Need to bash them up in the midfield, last week they looked soft in there despite the big names they have

Imagine the build up a GF against the Pies though the city would be in a frenzy....much more epic than playing Gold Coast, Freo or even a smaller Vic club

TMac is one of those players that will need to be managed and probably have a couple of games rest throughout the season I don’t think we can expect him to play every week

The punters must like us at $2 as we're currently into $1.80 as favourites with the bookies....not that it means anything in terms of what happens on the field but we do seem to play very well at the Gabba

Definitely wouldn’t risk May for the trip to QLD when Tommo did such a great job…get that calf/hammy 100% right

100% this is a generational team people of my age (45) may not see again so we need at least another flag
