Viney concussion, probably out.

Fisher to play his first game this weekend will probably also be out.

I didn't bother checking the score - thought it would be so one sided so I watched the GP instead. Wow.

GWS are not easy beats anymore, we are going to have to be right on our game to beat them.

I don't know if they won that on emotion from the buddy issue giving them a bit extra, or Sydney being a bit undermanned, but they were simply awesome. Some skill errors kept Sydney in the game but they are seriously improved.

On a side note, how long before sections of the media question if it was Sydney landing buddy that contributed to this loss. Especially the players squeezed out. Even getting the full list back, I'm not sure Sydney have the weapons to match hawks or freo.

Well Buddy is already copping it on twitter. 7 possies 1 goal but the conditions didnt really suit him. But if you sign a long contract for that long and amount of money you will some under scrutiny.

What were the conditions up there? Was it raining?

Pizzing down for part of the game along with lightening too. If it were a game of golf it would have been called off.

Conditions no excuse, Cameron kicked 4 and Patton 3.

Franklin and Sydney can eat it, to be frank. No sympathy for them at all.

Sydney looked pretty ordinary as well. Mumford is a big loss for them and he is exactly what GWS needed.

Exactly. I seem to recall a player who wore the demon jumper for a year or 2 suffering similar ridicule. If you are going to play footy for money, you better be earning it. I think buddy was worth this deal, but 5 years ago.

GWS beats Sydney, then GC beats Richmond. The two baby sides beating two top 4 contenders.

Let's hope this starts off a new era of sorts for the entire AFL (fingers crossed).

Apparently they had to delay the start because of the severity of the storm, but as TU noted, it didn't stop Cameron and Patton from getting among the goals.

There are no easy games anymore.

Well, I guess we will be the test of that...

Along with the Saints and the Lions I guess that's true.

...and maybe I should add the easy beat Pies. Are Freo a contender or did they beat up on nothing?

Have the Swans lost their way, they're certainly one ruckman down now without Mummy and he made them pay. Pay Buddy, lose a Mummy, is that a good deal? Is the bloods culture damaged?

Gee, not sure. I mean, they did play in last year's grand final, so I think it is a fairly safe bet to label them as a contender.

...or is it no Stone, no Sydney???

More likely the first crack in a great culture, caused by the sacking of a few popular players, for a Buddy.

Yep, more a knock on their opponent.

As I asked in the previous post, "is the Swans culture damaged"?

Looked like Mummy would have been handy yesterday...

I've never played in a thunderstorm. Nor can I remember the last game I went to that was postponed by lightning. Makes the young giants efforts even better I think considering that added distraction.

But also seeing them being so horrendous for 2 years just so they could get every maximum benefit from the draft and then they pick up Addison and Hunt for free, Heath Shaw for Taylor Adams who was a first round midfielder of which they have a surplus and Mumford for a pick they were never going to use. It's inexcusable the AFL let them go in to 2012 and 2013 with just a few last legs veterans on their list in McDonald, Power, Cornes and O'Hailpin. They should've had some more decent depth players from the start so they didn't have to be some completely bad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
