Two frees to sydney inside 50 not paid. Unbelievable. 

Actually, totally believable 🙄😡

I never used to hate the Dogs but gees I’ve grown to really dislike them. Bont the one shinning light. 

Very much the same here, always had a soft spot for them, but am just completely over their relentless pursuit of free kicks!

[BLWNBA 366]

Regardless of the outcome of the match tonight, I'm still not overly convinced of the credentials of either of these sides. 

The (likely) result has cemented that the Dogs are the biggest down hill skiers in the league. Most of their players are frontrunners and frankly they're a bunch of prima donnas. 

Sydney have a lot of talent but are young. I suspect their season will be up and down and whilst they'll make the 8, they have a while to go before they seriously challenge.

Replace dishlickers with the Carlton "paper bags" and I'm with you picket.

Don’t get why people hate the kid. His hair? 

he goes hard and is a great mark and kick. Tries to get in defenders faces which is his job 

Would love to have him at the demons

He has a lot of talent - but absolutely bends the rules. Flops on the ground, in the air and generally dives the moment he feels contact. 

Worse, he then celebrates his ill gotten gains (goals) harder than most celebrate a running team lifter. Over the top and ridiculous. Does it for non goals too - a teammate makes a run of the mill tackle and watch him bounce around with fake bravado and joy. 

if he concentrated half as hard on his game and role as he does on geeing himself and others up he'd be an even better player. 

Case in point - in all his crazy enthusiasm he tried to mark that ball on the goal line in the 1st QTR of the GF. Was going through for a goal - a crucial, grand final first quarter goal. He was so excited he genuinely stopped the goal and damn near knocked himself out in the process

Sydney forward line totally dysfunctional - Dogs not much better. 

[loges 6,143]

Swans forwards no idea under the long ball 

[Gawndy the Great 7,641]

Umpires  making absolute sure of this one.

The ump tried to let that 50 go, but was soooo blatant he had to call it

[BDA 20,397]

I'd like to see the Swans pinch this

Why players take a bounce two steps after receiving the ball is beyond me.

Coz its ingrained from under 10 footy

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,636]

So wanted Swans to steal that.

 

Awful game to watch for most of game made worse by one sided umpiring..

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,341]

Umps are disgusting 

[Jaded No More 58,635]

Bont is a star. The Dogs are unimpressive though. 
Marvel is their comfort zone. Shame you don’t play there when it counts.

ENGLISH should get 4 weeks for that bump! Umps reprehensible!

And the dogs win the flag! Oh, it's only round 3. 

[pitmaster 3,064]

It's time the Dogs had the Salvation Army as their main sponsor.

[BLWNBA 366]

Swans absolutely s**t the bed. I'd be filthy if I was a supporter and had to endure that ball use, it was beyond embarrassing. Given the seniority of some of their players, I would expect a lot more against a maligned side like the Dogs had tonight. 

The Dogs were lucky to win, but no doubt they'll get their tails up with some manufactured and over-engineered "us against the world, the AFL hates us, blah blah blah" rhetoric.

31-14 when is it going to get media coverage. Year in and year out.

So the swans are pretty average. Smashed in contested possession and tackles, inside 50’s etc.

AFL hates us except we always get the softest frees paid in our favour. 
Absolute sham the way their games are umpired.

 No they weren't. They were unlucky not to win by 40+ points. And I don't like them

Ungle Bungle gets 7 disposals and they are interviewing him as if he is a star??? UNBELIEVABLE
