Ignoring our game at whatever was the "People First Stadium" during COVID
What we expect is for the Swans to kick more than 110 points and preferably keep the Eagles below 40 points.
Not a lot to ask? Is It?
Well there is last week's game.

Grundy forecast a physical response from his Swans.​

"We probably let ourselves down there in terms of our team defence (last week)," he said.​

"So we'll be trying to bring that for four quarters this week, very physical."​

Swans ruckman can't wait for reunion with 'contested animal'

Brodie Grundy is keen to reprise his successful midfield partnership with Taylor Adams, who will debut for the Swans in Gather Round

[The King!]

You don't want to see me if we lose

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

Swans by 56.

Great preview SP

Remember when our matches with the Eagles were invariably close. Seems ages ago..

This should be a shellacking but I doubt it will be. Bloods by 35.

Shake down the thunder.

 

[wills2g]

Apparently the stadium is decently big

There is seriously no reason why our midfield cant beat Kelly, Yeo, Ginbey and Harley Reid.

If we lose the midfield battle yet again will lose my shit

 

[bloodsbigot]

My prediction is an underwhelming win. By 26 maybe.

 

[anotherletdown]

I'll accept the average winning margin of the last 3 games - 109 points! and I'm rounding down!

A win is not enough, a percentage boosting thrashing is in order

C'mon!!

 

[caesar88]

Obviously just want to get the win first and foremost.

I think the usual suspects could run rampant and it probably means we trounce them, but I also don't really need to know how our best players look against arguably the worst side in the comp. Tbh I'd maybe take a smaller win if it means we get to see others shine and perhaps build some form they can go forward with. I'm talking the Jordons, the McInerneys, the Florents, the Roberts', the Lloyds etc. I think that'd make for a more productive afternoon than a few guys just boosting their Brownlow campaigns.

Just win though please Swans.

 

[Jeffers]

Just win the damn game and treat the opponent although obviously inferior with respect.

 

[Cadsky]

Won't be an easy win but I think we'll run over them in the end by 40 points

 

[Mister B]

10 goal plus win, no injuries and plenty of winners piss at the pubs tonight. Anything less is a disappointment.

 

[kickthething]

Score first want a fast start

 

[Ballarat Bob]

Just get more competitive around the contested ball and don't allow them to waltz it out like Richmond. And show more composure when we have the ball. Swans by 30 odd get back in the winners circle and see how we stack up for personnel after the bye.

 

[SwansProudly]

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Welcome everyone who made the trip to SA. Hope you have a blast watching the mighty South Melbourne Bloods/Sydney Swans smash the Weagles by 37(+some)!!

UP THE BLOODS!!!

 

[GotTheGoodes]

10 goal plus win, no injuries and plenty of winners piss at the pubs tonight. Anything less is a disappointment.

 

[Mister B]

Keen. On the first bus up the hills. Currently outnumbering eagles about 3 to 1 although they are a couple of hours behind.

 

[momentbymoment]

Last game against the Eagles was my favourite for the year. Neutrals might like a close game but I would prefer a 50 pt first quarter and then shoot towards a 100 + win.

Stress free fan group.

 

[Swan4Life]

We've been inputting loads of data into the supercomputer....thousands of hours of research.....complex formulas, calculations and computations, no stone has been left unturned.

Now for the prediction: computer says - Swans to beat Eagles!

A big thank you to the research team for their tireless efforts.

 

[Olian]

Just get the win.
Swans by 30+

 

[Mister B]

Any of the BF crew that are going to the game I’ve set myself up western side underneath the light tower in front of the Adelaide Hills sign.

Ground looks a picture.

 

[Mister B]

Ground looks a picture.

Surface looks like a bowling green. Slight tinge of dew sitting on the surface. Certainly not a goat track. Does seem to be cut quite low so don’t be surprised if a few slip over.

If the lift my brother organised could rock up, I would love to

 

[Wheresbuddy]

I'd just be relieved if we win today.

However, based on talent and where our list is, we should win by at least 10 goals.
