2 goals 6 behinds for Sydney in nearly 3 quarters of footy and not one “ How did we lose to Sydney?” post.

Impressive!

That said, Melbourne has shown this year that interstate travel and hostile crowds hold no fear for this team.

Agree entirely, though I am absolutely certain that instructions from HQ,  +/- intimidation from the crowd, +/-  maybe some brown paper bags will guarantee that the umpiring will not be equitable like it was when we beat them over there recently.

I feel dirty but I agree.  (Maybe something to do with getting excited by a Weideman which couldn’t even be considered when we last held the Cup).

What idiot signed off on these two guernseys? Can barely tell burnt orange and red apart on the AFL app (albeit lower quality than watching on TV). Shouldn't the Giants be wearing their white away strip? 

What idiot? Who is the head of AFL?

Many GWS supporters there?

A handful by what one can see on TV, and who knows, some of those wearing orange may just be Irish Protestants.

I’ve got nine and a half fingers, and when I counted, I had a couple left over. 

There’s a ripple of polite applause each time they score, if that helps answer your question.

Failed scoreboard pressure when we dominated early.

Thankfully the ? did not take advantage yesterday

For all they do well..the Hawks played a less than brilliant strategy... against a marauding team...in the WET !!

Strange stuff up by Clarko really.

We'll beat them next week ;)

I wouldn't get too confident yet.

Rumour is next week's guest on Open Mike is Garry Lyon. And if Mike can't finish us off then and there, he has Cameron Schwab saved up for later.

I’m at the game (if you could call it that)... I can’t recall being at a more boring game. Nothing like finals footy... where’s the frenetic pace, where’s the risk taking?  If Buddy doesn’t wake up soon, the Swans season is over.

That's their problem ... only time they look like scoring is when it goes near Buddy, and that's not often.

 

 

Meanwhile ... I'm enjoying this new game called "watch the other finalists and imagine how we'd go against them". It's a lot of fun.

Sydney loves to run over the mark .... got away with it all day against us. 

Nice to see them humiliated as they exit

Well played GWS! Losing to us R23 so they can go to the SCG in an elimination where Sydney suck.

Sydney and Geelong out of the finals in the first week.

The tide is turning at last.

Frankenstein really relies on great delivery.  Cut out their mids and he is bloody near useless.

How many more years on his 99 year lease?  Looks past it really, and not particularly interested.

How many Premierships have the Swans won since Buddy joined them?

It's a lot better than the game of "Watch all the finalists and shudder at how much they'd smash us by" that I've been playing for the last dozen years.

How embarrassing were the Swans?  4.6.30 losing to 10.19.79.  WOW! 10 scoring shots to 29.

So, two recent AFL 'heavyweights' now out of the finals race.

Up to us to eliminate the remaining 'heavyweight' next week.  Very confident we will get the job done.

OMG that song ?

Surely more than sufficient reason that they should never ever play a GF.

Blloody awful.

Porridge game IMO, hope the next match is watchable.

That was definitely a different Giants side... Glad they are on the other side of the ledger (until the GF of course).

Swans were flattered by the scoreboard... probably should have been over at half time like our game should have last night.

Now for the battle of the Birds in the West.

PS. I can see a new rule at the end of next season about use of the boot to fend off a player... not a good look

I have said all along that the filth and hawks out in strait sets. GWS will beat the filth next week. Oh and we must win as well.

    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.
