How are the Swans doing 2021

[NoWhiners]

Thanks for this Docker, maybe this increases my chances of seeing the Swans, assuming they play.

 

When I saw the email with this message, I didn't know what you meant about the thing we are not allowed to mention. Now that I logged in to CC,  I saw the warning. Sort of like She Who Must Be Obeyed (from Rumpole of the Bailey--I loved that show)!

 

Can't check the TV schedule until tomorrow night but at least I have an idea now.

 

Go Swans!

Both the Swans and the  Giants have already come to Melbourne. The AFL is now trying to sort out various state border restrictions, as well as ground availability. Quite a jigsaw puzzle.

 

[NoWhiners]

What happened--I thought things were under control down under???

 

Although I did read about the spiders spinning huge webs on top of plants in Victoria  (Gippsland???)

there has been another outbreak in Sydney, multiple exposure hotspots and around 20 positive cases being isolated.

[NoWhiners]

I haven't heard anything about this. Is it pretty recent?

Last couple of days. More restrictions today. Seems one limo driver couldn’t follow simple rules.

[NoWhiners]

Oh no. Of all things, a limo driver. This is worthy of something we'd do here 😁

Swans will play Port in Adelaide on Saturday. The game will now start at 4.30pm Melbourne time.

 

One of the quarantine features is that the Swans will fly on a charter Saturday morning, and return to Melbourne immediately after the game. Typically, teams are required to fly in the day before a game.

I'll have to see if it will be on TV here--no games tonight 😞

 

Interesting approach. I guess this limits exposure of the Swans to covid??

Other way around.

 

As the outbreak is in Sydney, this approach reduces exposure to Adelaide and its people.

With NSW having the outbreak, it limits South Australians to the spread. 😀

Ah yes, of course. Are they testing the Swans before the game? That seems like  a good way to monitor the virus and limit exposure.

All teams are tested regularly and yes I would assume before they fly out and possibly before the game.

[NoWhiners]

All they can do. I hope everything goes OK.

 

And the Sydney outbreak is controlled quickly.

Buddy has been reported for front on contact (usually hitting a player who is stretched out to get the ball. Could be fist or severe body contact). 

I can’t find vision, yet.

 

May get a fine.

It seems Port have got on top since it started raining in the second quarter.

[Docker123]

swans hit the front in the final quarter, with Buddy kicking 3 goals for the term. However, Port came back to take it out.

 

Buddy is now number 6 in all time goal scorers.

 

[Docker123]

In other news, because of the Sydney lockdown Swans will play the West Coast Eagles in Geelong next weekend.

 

1pm Sunday Melbourne time.

Was an exciting game but with the conditions being so slippery, it made it hard to dominate and score, gutsy win by port

[NoWhiners]

Had an early golf lesson today, so just getting to my email. Thanks for all the posts Docker. The game was on TV here and I wanted to watch, but I feel asleep and didn't wake up until 7 am! I must have been tired 😉

 

Another sort of close loss and now Buddy getting wild. Sorry I missed it.

 

Tonight the Giants-Hawks and Blues-Crows games are on, with the first game starting at 9 here. I should be able to stay awake for that one.

 

Go Swans!

[NoWhiners]

Three games on here tonight, back-to-back. Alas, not the Swans. 

 

From the standings, I think this will be a tough one for the Swans and maybe a 'must win'. What is the word on the street down under?? 😉

 

Go Swans!

The game is being played on neutral ground due to lockdowns, at Geelong's home ground, Kardinia Park. For what it is worth, the Swans are the bookies favourite. Good luck.

[MicCanberra]

I am thinking that which ever team shows up will win, both teams have lacked consistency.swans may have the slight edge in betting odds but the Eagles have slightly better form
