TOPIC:

well here we are for round 1. Tough first up game v SD. Not too sure what to make of EF perforfance v P on Sat. Still reliant on a good selection of AFL listed boys though, not too sure, if any, will be allowed to play on Sat. Still lacking a tall foward though, Perham seemed to struggle, as did Howson, whilst MacDougall is coming off 3 years of ammo footy, thus big ask to step up v the likes of Ames, Simpson, Blight et al. a lot depends on where Young goes I guess, Lammie is coming off a breakout 2012 in the WAFL, Symonds is still young and doesn't possess the tank Lammie has. Be keen to see Hadley back and also Stephen.

Not too sure what to make of SD, Geappen always gives EF grief, though handy not to have Hansen in their forward line on Sat. Can see strengths and weaknesses for both sides, colts coming off some big scratch match wins, whilst the reserves have had two big wins and one big loss.....though Reimers did play for Perths reserves and kicked 7....don't see a similar sort in SD reserves side.....

anyway always good to see who makes which squad.....lots of new names and hopefully a lot of familiar names will pop up on Thurs night.

Hopefully there will be a big crowd to support the mighty black and whites on Saturday down at East Fremantle.

Yeah getting there is the problem for most Swans fans. Getting home is easy. Plenty of cars in the carpark to "borrow"

Neale, Newman, Brennan, Brown, Dalziell all released to play in this game

We owe you guys for the touch up we got in the prelim but good side to play first up. Going to be a good hard game at shark park.

You can be dead certain we will outnumber them in the outer mate

Very happy with the side named.

Should be a good first up win.

Yeah strong - premiership year for EF I think. Getting McDougall back puts the icing on the cake.
