Malthouse was talking about players needing to play with sore joints etc yesterday

..yeah, he was saying must take care using a jab on muscle.. ..but other injuries, joints and bones and the like i guess [?], if the jab can help he's not a fan but understand the 'need' in a final.. ..had the impression it was with krooz in mind..

swans have won 1 of their past 5 matches and that was against st kilda

they are shot

The other 4 matches were against Hawks x 2, Geelong (at Kardinia Park) and Collingwood.
I think they are struggling however will still be very tough to beat at home.

Port beat collingwood, we beat Port

ipso facto ......

IMO all things being equal we'll go down by about 30 pts.

We need the football gods to smile on us big time.

Fingers crossed.

I'm glad you brought that up Big kev.
In case we haven't noticed...
the Footy Gods ARE smiling down on us big time,
and I see no reason why this should not continue. :grin:

c'mon troops...
let's roll. :fight:

We'll get it done, I've a good feeling about this game too. Momentum is with us, it's an amazing time for the blue boys, after soma eh gloomy years. Go Mighty Baggers

I said it Sunday & I'll say it again but there's a bit of redemption in this for our boys. They know how hard it is to get to finals. After 2 years they find themselves back with a shot at getting to a prelim. Who knows what next season brings, (number 18 to go with 17 hopefully!) but I reckon they'll die with their boots on Saturday night & the Swans better match that hunger otherwise they'll be out in straight sets.

We're all hungry for this, I want us to take their best shot, look them right in the eye & be left standing after a savage battle. Some games just stand to a team as the pivotal moment in a journey & I feel thats what this game represents for us right now. We may or may not win the flag this year but I want this game to be the moment we started to believe again! Go Bluebaggers!!

Short grass tick
Better ANZ than SCG
McGlynn out huge for us.
McVeigh suspect lets hope, he's their most important player
No Goodes Shaw or LRT
They are very top heavy
Momentum is with us
Good odds on Blues 3.25
Dare to believe
I think we'll win it.

so there's 2 NRL games at ANZ tomorrow night - ground aint gonna be flash on Saturday

If it was rugby there'd be cause for concern because of the scrums and rucks where there is a lot of pushing and shoving by a couple of tonnes of heaving flesh in opposing directions but these days with league, the scrums are non-pushing affairs and most of the rest of it is hitups.
The grass will help protect the surface and they'll cut it and roll it.

it ain't Etihad.

It will be a massive effort to get up but if they do they will be coming up against a Freo team where half the players would have played 1 game in a month. That could be interesting

Not strictly true. We smashed the Swans in a Who Cares Cup match some years back by almost 20 goals. Setanta and Wee Man Kenna tore it up that day.

I REMEMBER THAT GAME!

My first meeting with CK95 and only meeting with Synbad.

Once was enough?

ANZ Stadium confirmed with me tonight that they will indeed be cutting the grass to AFL specifications.

Disaster averted. Blues by 26 points.

A win for the good guys!

I wanna see two things: Stadium grass cut so short that Mick's shoes reflect the lights and Bryce strapping on a set of XL sized gonads and hitting packs harder than ever before. Bryce is the key to the path to glory.

Went to the game on Sunday but as luck would have it I'm flying up to a 40th in Cairns at a Balinese restaurant so don't like my chances of catching any of the game. Is the game being shown live into FNQ?

We need to KICK STRAIGHT...to create Scoreboard pressure Like on Sunday 18: 8 , to have a chance.
If we start blazing away with no results, then its .....

Back a few pages.

No changes for us, although some expect Kreuz will be a late out for Casboult or McLean.

McGlynn and Rohan out for them with Cunningham and Biggs coming in.

Two prime Moran possibilities right there.

Really, we'll never have a better chance to knock them off.
