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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
