Have I got your attention ?
Good morning Swannies - I have a bit of an announcement for youse …….
Today I shall be concocting a 10 + 1 question quiz based on your team - the Bloods.
I will post it here. It will be very difficult. No googling allowed. One entry max each by PM to me.
The winner will be announced here after the game on Saturday. What will you be playing for you ask ?
Something very, very “special” friends. My late grandfather was a 50 year member of both the
South Melbs Cricket and Football Clubs as well as the MCC and played lawn bowls for each.
He left me a coffee jar full of his membership medals so I am digging out a special one for
whoever can ace my quiz.
It is a South Melbourne Cricket and Football Club Medallion from Season ’70/’71 (member no. #214),
from the last time the Bloods made the VFL finals in 1970* [refer later correction by GUH] before being
shunted off to Sydney - it was Bobby Skilton’s only finals appearance. Sadly you were beaten by the Saints
in the 1st Semi Final. Oh well.
I will send it to the winner of the quiz to their postal address as nominated via PM.
The prize ….
The coffee jar …. (this is NOT the prize)
QUIZ can be found here:
Opinion - Posts That Don't Deserve a Thread (Random Opinion or Questions)
Compared to last year when we needed a 6 goal lead at 3/4 time cause we were always getting ran over yep think thats what the team has focused on and maybe thats why we start slow, its about building a game, accepting its momentum during a game and we will get more of it as it goes.

Now before we get into my "brief" but meaningful preview its time for a little quiz (or fun)
So who are the 5 players you would like to punch in the face and why? Well everyone I have a count down for you all.
5. TOBY GREENE
Bit of a low hanging fruit this one, yes he has done what each of us have wanted to do before and given an umpire a whack, but you have to remember these players are supposed to be role models for the next generation.
4. TOBY GREENE
Starting to get a bit more serious now, as mentioned in number 5 that AFL players set an example for the next generation, well Toby Greene actually wrote a letter to himself as a kid stating that players should be setting better examples for their younger fans.
WHAT A HYPOCRITE -
I mean come on, surely you would love to put him in his place?
3. TOBY GREENE
He is a dirty grub on the field, doing whatever he can to get ahead of his opposition. Knees, Feet, Arms, Headbutts anything is not off limits for himself. During his career he has been charged by the AFL Tribunal on 23 different occasions, had 8 suspensions and had $30,000 worth of fines.
Wouldn't it be nice to see a player dish it back? (Ideally not a Swan so we can avoid the suspension though)
2. Toby Greene
YET AGAIN the pattern continues, not only is he a dirty grub on the field but he is off the field, guilty of assault in 2014 (and lucky to escape with a fine) he has also had a reputation for his behaviour in school (And I know someone personally who was bullied by him quite heavily when she was younger).
Maybe the threat of capital punishment will pull him in line?
1. TOBY GREENE
To no one's surprise the MOST hated player in the AFL is none other than Toby Greene, but what makes me want to slug him on the chin ahead of all the above controversies? Well it is simply because he is the major player standing in our way this weekend, if we manage to stop Toby Greene, we stop the giants. The issue is it is a lot easier said than done, so I have come up with a few simple solutions.
- Tonya Harding the guy walking into the ground
- Plant a bit of fun in his training locker for a surprise inspection
--Find his favourite takeaway place and pay the owner to add a little "extra" to his meal
Honestly whilst I can fantasise there are more appropriate ways to stopping GWS this weekend.
- Protect Warner/ Gulden/ Heeney and allow them to do what they do best
Over the weekend Adelaide got on top of us and a large part of this was due to the pressure they were applying on Warner/ Gulden/ Heeney. If we can ensure they are freed up around the stoppage from the first bounce this weekend that will go a long way to assisting us to secure the victory.
- Show intensity/ composure from the first bounce
The Swans have started a bad habit of starting matches slowly recently, but hypothetically, just imagine if we didn't start off 20 minutes after our opposition, if we were composed with the right intensity from the first bounce? Well GWS simply wouldn't be able to go with us. If we are good to go there is no stopping us.
- Shutting down Whitfield
My supercoach is screaming at me for suggesting this, but the barometer to GWS this year is Whitfield, GWS haven't won a single game where he has had less than 27 disposals. Got a small feeling he might meet the acquaintance of the beautiful and charming James Jordan on the weekend.
- Clamping down the GWS talls
GWS have multiple talls all over the ground that can be match winners, From Hogan in the forward line, to Briggs in the ruck, Taylor and Himmelberg in defence. Because of this we will have to ensure we lower our eyes and hit targets on the lead or use our speed and dash to break up congestion. If we can do this - GAME SET MATCH SWANS
Team Changes
- To Be updated Thursday evening but likely both teams are unchanged currently.
Weather
- Clear, low chance of rain and a moderate breeze
What will Bonz be doing?
- Watching the game on his couch with a protein shake in hand
Final Prediction?
- I am not giving my prediction as I will jinx the result <3

May have had a niggle…not worried about him in the slightest
(Snarky) word among West Coast supporters in my office is that Horse backed Armatey to kick <10 goals.
I advised them it’s ok - I’ve made a tidy sum backing West Coast to kick <10 goals.
This happened 2 seasons in a row. Bears will hear from my management

Shake down the thunder
This is a magnificent gesture.
One small correction - we also made Finals in 77. Maybe it was understandable you forgot as the Saints won the spoon that year.
The 70/71 time was great for our mob. We had the iconic Norm Smith who was as happy as Larry. The cricket club had Alan Connolly, Ian Redpath, Ian Quick and Keith Kendall etc.
South remains one of the most successful cricket clubs in Oz. We have produced almost as many Australian Test Cricket Captains as Brownlow Medallists - maybe subject of some questions?

Haven’t had a facial injury for decades, but suspect if I lived in Perth it would be a regular event.
Don’t know how you, C88 and co get by.

Indeed - that is indeed food for thought GUH. Expect a few cricket related questions.
I suspect Toby Bedford is gonna be sent to Chad this weekend after taking out Zak Butters on Sunday.
GWS a huge chance to knock us off, I’ll be tipping them myself in fact. Home game for them and they’ll be getting themselves amped to knock us off. We have to have a loss at some point and GWS are a good enough side to do it.

I could explain it to you, but I'd need an easel, and 3 peanut M&M's.
