Just me or does this feel like there is no intensity? Players have space to move…

nothing like last night.

Dees and Pies are still likely the best 2 sides in it (Brissy in Brissy probably 1st-and-a-half). Sucks to be 2nd best on the night last night but we're still a red hot chance to make it to the GF.

I love that the chart in the opening post has Sydney 'make a semi final' and Carlton 'win a final' as if they are different things.

Anyway, as much as I think we're better placed to beat Sydney, I'd rather Carlton won tonight because I am simply sick of the sight of the Swans continuing to get by on massive draft concessions and 'loose' umpiring.

imv we're just as likely to make the GF as we are to lose next week. I'd back us to beat Brisbane in Brisbane. Carlton have Melbourne 2018 vibes about them. They won't lose tonight and they're a red hot chance next week.

What the hell was owies thinking then. Luckily for him he kicked it

[DubDee 26,679]

90k plus?

A lot of blues ‘fans’ must have needed directions to the G after not turning up for the last 15 years

[BoBo 2,956]

Well, guess we're playing Carlton next week. Sydney don't have the kicking boots on.

[DubDee 26,679]

Oh Oh Oh

Oh Owies

good lord

Atleast keep it close so Carlton can’t just cruise FFS

[praha 11,267]

Would love Sydney to pull a Norf circa 2014 or 2015 vs Richmond and come from nowhere to beat them.

For [censored] sake. There’s only 2 teams who could outnumber us at the G in this final’s campaign and we get them back to back.

We’ve had no luck this year at all.

threatening to turn into a blowout. Swans need to stem this bleeding quickly

I hope this is a replay of last night except Swans come all the way back.

But alas.

Who's kicking it in there? The ball ping pongs out (giving us record inside 50s) because the mids delivering it in are too timid to get it in quickly). Clean up accuracy and get it in quicker and we put q4 on the board instead of quarters 1-3.

Been a shocker.

Sadly I wouldn't be surprised to be rolled by Carlton.

Icing on the cake.

[BDA 23,048]

Swans have regressed a long way this year. way off the pace here

[Clintosaurus 7,953]

Could the umps help Carlton any more?

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

The outside 5m rule, for standing the mark doesn’t work.

 

[BDA 23,048]

shocking umpiring call. its not a free if the player ducks his head

[BoBo 2,956]

I reckon I've seen that exact scenario about 5-6 times this year and not only was it not fifty, it was play on. Petracca did it one game and it was fine.

[rolling fog 1,208]

Blues have a [censored] drummer too

[dazzledavey36 56,346]

I've seen enough.

It's Carlton next week.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

I can’t wait to lose to this [censored] mob next week. Nothing better than going from one bunch of meth head inbred fans to the next. 

[ANG13 2,110]

Sydney have been bloody poor this quarter. 

[rolling fog 1,208]

Looks like Cripps has some big padding around the ribs on one side - is that normal for him?
