Swans forward line is not the issue. They are being bootsed +60 something in uncontested ball and +9 contested. 

Starts from the middle.

    Anyone know why Bruce is backing commentating? I thought he retired 5 years back. 

    Because BT makes Bruce look like Winks

    Heeney also putting in another Herculean performance on GF day. Bloke must suffer from some serious stage-fright

    I've been working so only looking at stats now. How is it even possible to have fewer supercoach points than disposals?

    Funny how all year we hear about the fact that wining center clearance doesn’t matter as much as the importance of scoring on turnover. Yet here we are and the lions are winning 10-6 swans and scoring from them too.

    Could the St Kilda sprinter break any more times at the start there?

    One probably wonders if Sydney having the advantage of playing it's finals at home is a disadvantage.

    Or does the doubt of two years ago kick in. ( I'm sure it has now).

    We may have missed in straight sets but it's not as bad as this.

    No excuse for them to just lose intensity so much so quick.

    I don't want to take anything from Lions. The problem for me is that they have been good but not necessarily excellent.

    For me it's a case of Sydney losing than lions winning.

    Ps

    Why isn't Windsor in the sprint?

    Bruce and Dennis were the last good channel 7 commentators.

    The next time someone says you can't have a ruckman as a forward coach, just remind them that soon to be premiership winning coach Chris Fagan never even played footy at the top level.

    lol.  Was that the Swans psychologist addressing the entire swans team at half time. 

    Either that or the Horse has bolted 🤣

    I’m glad we took our chance when we had it because flags are bloody hard to win.

    In hindsight when we came back from 45 points against Geelong to win it there was going to be no stopping us in ‘21. Same thing has happened to the Lions. Incredible finals series for them. 

    Zorko is a germ but will be very happy to see Jarrod Berry and Fages get a flag.

    The straight sets quinella of 22/23 sucked balls but I’d still take it over supporting the Sydney Swans. lol. No hard feelings with Grundy but those who were moaning about him can eat some humble pie.

    What’s with the large block of empty seats behind the goals? City end I think.

    Just heard Cam Bruce mentioned, surely make a play to get him back to Melbourne as an assistant? I’m not usually one for bringing a former Melbourne person back but being the midfield coach of a GF side could be very enticing.

    The Lions are showing so much more intent and will to do all the demanding off-ball stuff. They are getting 2 or 3 extra players to each contest, they are spreading the Swans across the ground creating small spaces for them to do repeated 20m kicks, and so many more handball receives. Their field kicking is wonderful, leading to strong F50 marking.

    Swans looking lazy. Grundy being well beaten by an impressive Fort, Heeney being well held by Dunkley (illegally I might add, but umpires not noticing it), and the Lions midfield slaughtering the Swans midfield. 

    Not a great game of footy to be honest.

    Biggest lead in 70 odd years (half time in a GF)

    It's a mountain from here for Sydney

    If the Swans do get pumped at the end of the game, I wonder if they will accelerate the handover from Longmire to Cox. He’s had a great year Horse but maybe they’ll view it’s time to change things up to clear the final hurdle.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road.

The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
