$2? where?

that’s ridiculous

Brunswick, it's a nice cafe but woweee!

I reckon they were offended by me asking for the sauce. I ordered a Parma with chips, came with not a drop of sauce.

My mate ordered a steak sandwich with chips, he got the sauce. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

How about the kick from Hayward!

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

Geez they've come alive Sydney.

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

Cmon Hoges...

[ElDiablo14 5,002]

Hogan... 🥹🥲 If only he could've stayed.

[layzie 33,991]

Hogan steadies the ship

[BDA 22,875]

And Hogan with the response for the Giants

This is turning into a cracking game

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

Bang!!

[layzie 33,991]

Fast football

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

We need a Darcy Jones type up forward.

Imagine the forward half chaos and speed him and Kozzie Pickett would create.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Hogan's been super  so far.

Note the Giants rarely if ever take the mark.  98% outside five to help protect / reduce Sydney's penchant to always attempt the 45 kicks into the corridor. 

As well as trying to protect againat the dinky short passes forward.

GWS happy to give Sydney lateral short kicks or switch attemps...but ALWAYS protect the middle.  Go wide if you like.. we're happy with that!

Toby Bedford! 😒

[layzie 33,991]

Darcy Jones stocks rising dramatically

A lot of complaints about letting Harmes and Jordon go, but both have done absolutely nothing in the finals they've played.

Don't care about a tagging role for Jordon, 5 touches and 1 tackle is [censored].

The Giants winning the tactical field battle so far

Jordon is currently tagging Whitfield and is doing an okay job.

Harness had one touch for the whole 2nd half last night. He looks completely cooked and it showed.

[layzie 33,991]

Gee whiz 

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

Wow what a complete [censored] up by the Swan defenders!

[seventyfour 1,177]

Horrible defending by Sydney. Flashbacks to the days of Garland and Rivers spoiling each other.

Let's talk footy with this one..

Briggs has had the better of him and his physicality has been a bit too much for Grundy.

Grundy needs to lift this second half because he's been pretty poor so far.

Grundy has always had questionable hardness. It’s why he’s never been as good as Gawn. Ever. 
He’s a nice player but he isn’t strong enough and he doesn’t make up for it with his overhead marking. 
Gawn is about the only ruckman in the AFL who is genuinely influential around the ground, Xerri is quite good too (I’m talking first ruck not your pinch hit ruckmen). Jackson has it in him, but hasn’t quite hit the mark yet. 

Grundy is a lovely guy and a good player, but anyone who said he would help the Swans win a flag is kidding themselves. The Swans midfield is sensational. If they win the flag it’ll be them who make it happen, not Grundy.

papley tried to win another head high free. ump didn't fall for it this time.

very good player but dislikable becuase of this sort of stuff

He's not alone.  Heeney's also a serial offender.

The Giants also have there's in Toby G

[layzie 33,991]

Giants in the box seat and really should win it.

True. And i'm a big fan of Toby Greene

but papley rubs it in. the way he celebrated and carried on after conned the ump for the first free and goal was very distasteful for me.
