Are posters here unaware how horrific Sydney’s current injury list is? They’re missing an entire spine and more of talls. They’re not just rubbish, they have half a team missing. Off the top of my head they’re missing

Rampey

T Mccartin

P Mccartin

Hickey

Buddy

Amarty

Reid

Take away the Full back, centre half back, third tall defender, ruckman, centre half forward, tall forward/second ruck and full forward out of any team and they’ll capitulate. Given their injury list, tonight’s belting is completely expected and until they get some talls back the Swans are in for a world of pain.

    This is making our win over Sydney look meh 

    Don’t agree with that, swans came to play that day, and didn’t have the injuries they currently have.

    Buddy’s finished and Amartey is a kid he’s played 17 games. When we played them they had all of those players bar Hickey and we had no Gawn or Kossie (TMac also out but not best 22 atm). 
    Collingwood has its share of injuries, Swans aren’t alone.

    They’re currently missing the second most games through injury in the league. I just find it humorous that some on here are writing them off in round 6 when they’ve got an enormous injury list at present. Not sure if it’s an over reaction or a lack of knowledge about other teams.
    They’re still in the 8 and will likely finish top 4-6 still even with this poor run of health.

    We belted them when they had a healthier list. Nothing should be taken away from that win. We were simply too good!

    I think 13 of the last 17 home and away games matchups have been at the Cattery.

    Turns out the AFL does have a mercy rule. The leading side must only kick behinds in the final quarter.

    Still could blow out some more.

    So let me get this straight. This is ANZAC round but not all teams are required to wear a ANZAC jumper.

    Or is it only for the home teams?

    It’s absolutely unbelievable how the afl continue  to ignore any semblance of a home & away competition

    Sydney's missing too many from the same areas - key defenders (McCartin, McCartin, Rampe) and key forward (Franklin, Amartey, Reid).

    It's much harder to cover those sorts of players, particularly when they're all out at once. Clearly their depth is poor, but it's a tough ask.

    Our win against them was against a vastly superior version of them, and deserves far more credit than Geelong's win tonight IMO.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
