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.

Found the highlander pub in Roma, after a bit of fuss, packed pub early start here 8am half time,  lions look like the dees in the 3rd Q. 2021 granny doing what they like,

Half the pub for both sides. Plenty of colours around

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
