Dangerfield playing 2 good games in a row. 
Geelong has had sensational luck this season. Coupled with a dream draw, good player management and a killer forwardline. 
It was theirs to lose for about 10 weeks now and they don’t seem to want to choke again. 

They need to get a significantly harder draw next year. This year their draw was a joke for a team that finished 3rd last season. It was only ranked as the 8th hardest draw as the season began, and only got easier as some sides dropped off.

It was definitely their season.

Geelong would want a couple more goals to be comfortable.

Please, no more…

Swans must kick 2 in a row

This is not Melbourne. If they lose this from here it would be the worst choke in the history of the game. 

They did that in round 23, 2021.

Dees we need to take notice of how to manage players and be fit heading into finals!

And not just within a season.  Tracc on 360 alluded to us going even harder this pre-season vs 2021's pre-season.

Sounds like we may have also gone too hard too early.

Yep, ridiculously soft draw in the lead up to finals. Pair that with the bye week, another week off before the prelim, then a soft kill for the prelim itself, it's no surprise they've got plenty of fuel in the tank.

Didn't expect Sydney to be this bad though.

Sam Reid a big loss 

[monoccular 16,224]

Frankenstein absolutely useless.  I guess the new contract will satisfy him?

[layzie 29,092]

Swans fired their shots and didn't get the in roads they needed. Anything can happen but give me the blue and white side of proceedings any day.

That was not a grand final and Sydney are not Melbourne 2021.

With a good injury run we are winning it next year.

Swans no where near it, Collingwood won’t have a nother miracle season and Geelong wonmt have another pissweak draw like this year and alot of players will retire.

[wizardinoz 2,048]

Swans won't get anywhere near the GF next year if this is the best they have to offer.

How funny would it be if the cats choked from here. I’m willing it to happen.

They will but I’ll bet my house they find a way to make it easier than ours. They will probably play a majority of the top 8 games at GMHBA and their away games to the bottom 4.

3/3 last games will be in VIC (MCG away games + GMHBA home games).

So Reid gone already?  Why did they play him.... too risky

[WalkingCivilWar 32,606]

I’d much rather watch something like this right now…

 

[Sir Why You Little 34,627]

Absolute deluge of rain in BKK is forcing me to watch more of this Horror Show

I cannot believe that i wish the Filth had won last week, but this has been awful 

Ahh well another Jamieson’s on the rocks….  :)

Anyone thinking we would be down this much if we were plying are kidding themselves. Even with how banged up we are.

Sydney are way before their time..

We wouldn't, as reigning premiers we would show some pride and fighting spirit at the very least. Clayton Oliver by himself would trump over Paddy "Throws" Dangerfield.

We took a risk with May last year and it paid off. Sometimes you gotta take a punt on your most important players.

Yes ive never rated their mid field mix aside from Parker.

Still has me flummoxed how they beat us....twice!

Might have something to do with our game plan vs the frenetic attack at all costs stuff Geelong dished up to them in the first quarter, I suspect.
