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.


Abbey Holmes. Interview with Nick Blakey. 
 

abbey. “ great to see all your fans here in Melbourne.  Great they can travel which must give you a boost “. 
 

nick “well yes it’s great that our Melbourne based fans honour the South Melbourne legacy”

yes abbey remember they were the South Melbourne football club and still have swans supporters and swans families in Melbourne!!! 

ps just like the Lions !!!

What's ours 1 in 57 years that's not great either.

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.

He’ll have delayed concussion tomorrow.

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.

Well they have two flags against one for us, very close race. We may yet catch them 🤞🏻

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
