Round 1.1 Sydney Squared

I made my way out to the first game for the GWS on Saturday night and have to say there's a lotta love in Sydney for the Giants - and most of it by Swans supporters.  That said, there was a bit of orange around the ground, and they're off to a good start.  And in good news for the Tinies, they were actually missing a few of the senior players that should be back on board in 2 weeks time.  Although James McDonald won't be one of them.  So what about Izzy?  Safe to say he probably wouldn't be playing in two weeks time if he was any other player... He jogged around the ground lookin like a lost lamb (big bluddy lamb) for most of the game.  He's got a long way to go...  So are the Tinies gonna win a game...? Hmmm... lets just say most of your Wooden Spooner tips are looking pretty safe.

The Swans looked ok.  Josh Kennedy had a massive game.  Sam Reid took a cuppla strong grabs.  Teddy Richards was solid across half back.  But will they have enough to take on the top teams... we'll see.

Round One Part One

It's back!  We've all missed it eh?  And we're starting with the Tinies v the Swans.  Yep, it's going to be a pantsing.  The only question is how much will they win by.  Oh and can Izzy score a goal?  Oh and will the Swans escape without injury?  Swans to win by at least ten goals, Izzy to kick 3 behinds, and Goodesy to escape the curse of Horseboy's SuperCoach team..

Of course the other 8 games are next week... bring it on!

8th - Sydney

The Swans have made the 8 in 8 out of the last 9 seasons.  Thats not a bad effort eh?  They'll make it 9 from 10 in 2012 despite still retaining LRT on the list.  Is that the biggest injustice of the 21st Century AFL?  Let's put this into context. Robert Harvey will never have a Premiership Medallion, but LRT has one. Leon Davis was All Australian in 2011 and is now not on any AFL list, while LRT is STILL playing for the Swans. WTF???

The main concern for the Swans is a major reliance on Goodesy.  He's the most important player for the Swans to the point where without him performing they pretty much won't win.  Fortunately it looks like he is on fire, and with Bolton, Jack, Mummy and Reid along with a pretty decent batch coming on, the Swans should be in the 8 - but without Goodes they will drop like a stone.
