Why didn't Cunningham get subbed off in the 1st with the head knock with the dogs player?

With a full complement of players the Dogs would have won that, Swans look tired and hanging on for dear life with 2 players more on the bench.

    I think the Swans kicked 5 goals from freekicks or 50m penalties tonight. They are gettable when they play in Melbourne (as always).

    Umps and AFL happy to have Swans winning. 

    I wonder what would happen to the AFL following in NSW if, god forbid, the Swans were bad?

    5 or 6 years being at the bottom of the ladder.

    Probably empty SCG and underwhelming membership numbers. Must be a thing of nightmares for the AFL House.

    Swans have two byes while the dogs still wait for their first?

    this comp is so unfair it’s laughable

    That’s what I was thinking… their heads collided, and with the same amount of force. Cunningham wasn’t even considered as potentially at risk let alone made to undergo a HIA.

    How can the swans find a way to trade and get Grundy , Jordan ( hope goody is watching) Adams & develop fwds vs our stagnation and missed opportunities 

    We wanted to get rid of Grundy as he’s a number 1 ruck. Jordon wanted to leave as he wasn’t getting a game. he’s doing alright tagging but nothing special   would have been nice to keep though given Gus retired

    And would you want a one dimensional 30yo inside mid in Adams that can’t kick? hardly what we need

    I wonder what number 1 draft pick the Swans will get for pick 27 from their academy this year

    absolute joke.

    Then don’t. Simples.

    I was appealing to PF to give up on the whole Grundy should still be with us thing because it’s pointless. This I know. I also know that it wasn’t as a result of the MFC [censored] up. Fact. Anyways it’s something that’s not worth discussing with me so 👋 

    I'd like to know the Grundy story?

    the problem with gawn and grundy being in the same side is that meant the game's greatest ruckman was half the player he normally is

    why would you waste a true great of the game by having him away from his prime position during his peak period as a player?

    They are underachievers to be honest.

    We like to criticise Brisbane and Port for underachieving but the Swans are right up there. With all the help they get from Academy, AFL and so on... 12 years without a premiership. Before that just one in 70 or so years.

    I wish I didn’t.

    It’s in the past anyways, where it belongs. But it’s super annoying to be in the Non-MFC thread and having to read the same old uninformed BS about ex-Dees and how our club failed them. It’s annoying in any thread, but particularly in this one. I’m really unwell and should’ve known better than to even go on DL let alone snap back at yet another clueless post about the whole Grundy affair. My bad. 🙄 

    *retreats back to sick bed and hopes getting worked up over this doesn’t prove a setback in the Need To Be Well Enough By Sunday In Order To Attend Our Match campaign*

    So, two years wasted instead of one. Cool. 

    Wouldn’t mind him as insurance even if just playing at Casey this year and an added bonus he wouldn’t be playing for the Swans. We got zilch for him, just gifted him to a major competitor.

    Underachievers??

    Under Horse they've played in 4 grand finals and a massive amount of finals.

    It's bloody hard enough to win a final let alone make a grand final and they've done exceptionally well under his guidance. 

    You say they get help from the academy yet tonight they only had 4 players in their line up. Compared to the likes of GWS and Gold Coast that's nothing. One of their best players in Chad Warner and arguably top 5 player in the comp is from WA.

    If you think they're underachievers then what do you make of us with the list and talent we've had on display. Elite defence, elite midfield line up led by arguably the greatest ruckman of the modern era and a sound forward line.

    I think I know who the underachievers are and it's certainly not Sydney here.

    We’ll never find out. 
    Got a bit close in the last few minutes and bam! 2x 50m for little to no reason.

    So there was only 1 reporter at Bevo’s press conference?

    What happens when there’s no one there?

    Do they have to ask themselves some hard questions?

    Take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror?

    that’s a good point. feels like they have been so dominant but only 2 flags over the decades and 4 losing GFs. they will feel they should have 4 flags.

    i thought you were talking about us until i heard sound fwd line?!?! 

    Swans got arguable the greatest player of our generation for 10 years and couldn’t win a flag with him

    This was a good result from a MFC perspective.

    The fact remains that it is and always will be to the best interest of the AFL that Sydney remains a competitive club. GWS and GC for the most part are "experimental" clubs.

    So why start the process,why grab Grundy when we allegedly didnt need him It looks like a f&%$ up to me

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
