32 touches, 3 goals, 12 marks and 771 metres gained.  It's not a bad day's work, let's be honest.

Fair call.

I noticed the goals, but not so much the other stats.  Didn't really jump out at me amoungst the overall routing which the Swans were given, probably because I lost interest and was only half watching the game.

No.  At Gate 2 The only turnstile to leave without scanning, which is open around 3/4 time each game, was padlocked closed on Saturday. With security only allowing staff in and out withour scanning.

 

Are you sure? That would have been a potential fire trap if gates were locked. 

 

Have never seen it before at the G

You know what's making me laugh, all the collingwood fans saying we would have out up a better effort and given a closer gf. you gave up the first 4 goals at the start of the prelim, you can't do that.

If we had fit players and tom in our team we could have probably won. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

It's the easiest thing in the world to say after the fact. They may well have but we'll never know, I personally thought Sydney were the best matchup with high pressure and run and I'm not backing away from that. 

Collingwood had a great season but I'm not sure anyone could have touched Geelong on Sat. A fit Melb would probably have been the best bet but I could see Collingwood getting smoked the second time round.

checked it out personally.

Heavy duty chain and padlock

Presumably they would simply open all turnstiles to allow exit in an emergency

Very poor by Sydney to let Hawk get one goal like that, never mind 2.

Had to laugh at Titus O'Riley's description:

"Sydney fans held their faces in their hands as they watched Tom Hawkins pluck the ball out of the ruck, not once but twice.

It appeared the Swans players had never seen this before, even though everyone in the stands predicted it was going to happen as the ball was thrown in."

Collingwood supporters at my work don't just think they would've gotten close.

Collingwood supporters at my work thing they would've beaten Geelong,

.....just Coz they led Geelong at times during the qualifying final.

Solid theory.

Just got an email from the MCC

What a wonderful AFL Finals Series we had this year as we finally welcomed back September action to the MCG.

Are they serious?  It was a terrible series and the GF was a shocker.  Someone obviously slept through September.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
