Where and when: SCG, Sunday June 9th, 3.20pm AEST
What it means for Sydney: Another massive test. The Swans have taken it right up to Collingwood and Geelong over the past fortnight, but the Premiers are in menacing form, and an upset would be huge going into the bye.
What it means for West Coast: Back in the top four after five straight wins, the Eagles must keep rolling to stay in touch with the best teams. They realise just how important it will be to secure home finals and they’re right in the hunt again.
The stat: Superstar Sydney forward Lance Franklin booted 8.1 and 2.5 in his team’s two wins over West Coast last year and he’ll need to be the difference again if the Swans are to go into the mid-season bye with a boil over.
The match-up: Tom McCartin v Jeremy McGovern
The young Swan is a fierce competitor and must make sure the Eagles’ three-time All Australian defender is accountable inside Sydney’s forward 50. McGovern (No. 28 on the AFL Player Ratings) is a huge presence and sets up plenty of West Coast attacks with his reading of the game from half back.
It’s a big week for: Dane Rampe
The local boy who was overlooked at multiple drafts before the Swans threw him a rookie lifeline, has turned himself into one of the game’s best defenders and an All Australian. Rampe’s 150th game will give his teammates even more motivation to knock off the visitors.
Thommo’s Tip: Sydney by 12 points

Lobb out for an extended period.
As in Dockers?!? What is it?!?
Yep, stress fractures in his right foot. Pulled up sore after the Collingwood match.
“in his fourth metatarsal” to be precise.
Thanks mate. That hurts TECHTeam plans 🙁
if that’s true it’ll hurt a few coaches
It hurts me, and I don’t own him. 🙁
It would of been nice if Freo released that info before the Rolling lockout started on Friday . Wasted trade for me
Good tip. Couldn’t decide so went with both across my two tipping comps. Head says WCE, but without Hurn who was held accountable in this fixture last year, it should be close. Only game today, so I’m watching
buddy might go big without hurn directing WC’s backline traffic
I’m excited for this game. Think it’s the game of round. Don’t think pies/demons will be much of a game.
as long as gawn/grundy don’t cancel each other out , i’ll be happy
that happened last game me thinks?
And the two before that!
Grundy v Gawn, MATCHUP of the season, what more to you want
who to Captain ?
missed all the good VC options this week.
someone convinced me to go Houli VC on Friday night.
TU – GRUNDY
TD – GAWN
Grundy was a bit sore last week. Maybe Gawn.
Stars have aligned for us to seize second spot: Tigers, Lions and GWS all lost.
Will be tough without Hurn and Yeo, and we have a poor history at the SCG. Also rate the Swans despite their position on the ladder; got close against Collingwood and the Cats. They won’t roll over easily.
Hoping our system and talented list prevails. We’ll see…
Go Eagles
Ey, another Eagles supporter. Nice to know, CT.
Me three!
Yes, a long time supporter.
Agree with you GB. Swans could’ve easily won at least another 3-4 had injuries not been an issue. Buddy, JPK , McVeigh all rotating on and off the list. Heeney with issues until mid season. Should be a cracker today!
Caaaaarn the Swans!
what’s the weather like in sydney for the game ?
Perfect. No wind 21c
I just got out of the surf 🙂
Nice one FT 🙂
NO LATE CHANGES
FINAL INTERCHANGES
Sydney: James Rose, Daniel Menzel, Jackson Thurlow, Ollie Florent
West Coast: Liam Ryan, Jake Waterman, Dom Sheed, Tom Cole
Hmm, is FanFooty down for anybody else?
it’s not down for me but is rather slow to load
correction… it’s stuffed
Yes, down for me too
Rotham seems to be named to play??? (is a Rotham owner)
Just quickly, if I captain a bye player I do get my VC and emergency score as usual??!!!
Bye players function as normal loophole players, become “DNPs” when the last game of the round starts.
Thanks for confirming what I’m sure I knew but always become so worried about…
hewitt on shuey
Ugh. What a start.
Those I50s are looking too easy for the Swans huh?!
poor JJK
keeps getting out on his own ,
but his mids arn’t look’n for him
Feel free to get amongst it, Darling.
O-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d
FanFooty back up btw.
I still can’t get in 🙁
Come on Petruccelle my rookies are doing crap except Carlton rooks

whoop Rotham has already beat colbert score of 10
should be an award for the best tagger
hewitt & de boer would be pretty close @ this point
agreed. Hewett and De Goey best lockdowns going around. They still manage 20+ possessions themselves.
rioli
sling tackle
1 or 2 weeks there
buddy just got a free kick & kicked the set shot from 30 out
went from 30 to 47 pts ??
OF COURSE I’m happy Kennedy is kicking goals, keeping us in the game and continuing to assert himself as of the great key forwards of the last decade, BUT I would love if one or two of those goals could go to Darling, who I somehow still have in my team.
fanfooty still down for me 🙁
You are not alone…..m.
Not working my computer via WiFi, but working on my phone via mobile data.
Try that.
try disconnecting your WIFI on your computer only
( not on the router )
then go to the page you want ,
your computer will offer to fix connection problem for you ( click yes )
it will auto reconnect to your WIFI & should fix the problem with your web page also
auto fix works a lot better when computers are disconnected from WIFI for some reason

Absence of Hurn and Barrass has been exploited really well by Sydney today, Reid and Buddy are killing us. Need Hurn back there directing traffic and Barrass locking down Buddy.
gettn smashed through the middle also
moved lloyd in there ,
WC had no shutdown for him
Yeah, double tag on Shuey and Gaff and no Yeo has depleted our engine room.
interesting difference in the full fwd line scoring that Q
buddy gets 17 pts for a down field free kick & set shot goal 30 out
JJK looses 7 pts without touching the footy over the last 10 mins
lloydy going well
just said on TV that Lobb might be out for the season
PJ how are you seeing live scores mate? Fanfooty is down?
I have had fan footy on phone all game trooroo?? No problem with it!
i don’t use fan footy
What do you use PJ?
herald sun / match centre
you have to pay for it
I use the footyinfo app on my phone to get live scores for free
looks like WC 20 yr drought @ the SCG continues
mc veigh looks done for the day
Had planned well for the byes….rds 13/14 look safe. r12 was tight but messrs hurn and yeo have sadly fixed that 🙁
someone get kennedy some ski gloves for his cold hands
the only time WC were competitive in this game ,
was when they used him in the 2nd Q
not sure why they avoid using him so much this year
it was bizzare, darling had him short on the lead but he went long to ryan who got outmarked o_O
i love watching him when ever WC play
traditional full fwds are great to watch
looks like the mids & 1/2 fwds prefer to avoid him & do the quick bomb in
rather than waiting for the fwd line to open up through dummy leads & for him to lead into space
what ever it is , when WC mids are shut down , they struggle to score

Fan footy is back up
what to do with Heeney ??
Was just thinking the same. Has he lost too much now and he’s not worth trading???
im hoping a weeks resty will do him good
Was wonderong about him as well , started as f2 will probably end up f6 , also hoping week off does him some good.
Just rebooted my router and now I have wi -fi data for fan footy…..m
buddy 100

Well Heeney tonned up for me and Darling didn’t mega suck. So that’s a plus.
And Rotham beat my other rookies low score of 10. So I’m claiming that’s a win.
The lack of downgrade rookies are really making the bye rounds hard :S
I am so sick of not having llyod.
So happy he has the bye this week. 100% trading him in rd 14.
yeh
have enjoyed having him ,
this yr & last
ALL ABOARD. How many travelling on the Rotham train? Last stop coming up ,please check ur tickets as there will b no refunds. I hope u enjoyed ur journey!
COMING ATTRACTIONS. Sign up for a memorable experience on the Hately Express. Departs -to be advised.
I traded him in round 7-9ish, hoping he’d be a late in at some stage, get a big score and no one else would have him.
He was a late in but… not so much on the big score.
The depth at GWS is ridiculous. As well as Hately, they picked up Caldwell and O’Halloran last year. And don’t forget Bonar is there as well. I suspect clubs will be coming in for Bonar in the trade period as well as Patton. Then they will use the trade currency to load up again in the draft. They really have drafted well.
