Yep it’s a real puzzle, Champion Data measures us as the second fastest ball movers in the competition, yet we when we enter our F50, everyone else is already there?

Champion Data . . . talk about the emperor with no clothes.

The ground still looks patchy and must be very slippery in parts

Swans have caught our kicking disease

Very few leads or movement too often, so opposition backmen guard grass. And going back 2022 - 2024, our forward gameplan was kick to contest, and get goals from ground balls or stoppages. I think the congestion is also a flow on from then.

The surface at the left end of screen is a bloody disgrace.

If anyone does a knee they should sue the AFL for allowing play in a substandard ground.

What’s happened to Sydney?

This season?

Ugh I’d forgotten how punchable Papley is.

very good goal james jordon. one of the best he's ever scored

swans goal kcking very poor.

their inaccuracy will cost them this game

Great footballer with great goal sense, but the worst over-celebrator in AFL history. Annoys the carp out of me.

Awww Harmesy and JJ 🥹

Ha ha, loved that little by play between harmes & Jordan then

Harmesy 💙💔still love ya

Great stuff. Harmesy and JJ. Harmesy and Grundy. Dees bond always there.

Commentators said it was due to an Andrea Bocelli concert and relayed turf

Weird thing is Bocelli said it looked fine when he left

Far out, that free against Darcy 😡

Gee swans now back in front. Wow, they were down & out

Reckon it’s just me but I don’t mind Papley. Gets in people’s faces and they fall for it. Love his energy and wish we had him

That concert was months ago though, what have the ground staff been doing?

Heeney putting on his own show

this has turned into a high quality game

Not much apparently

disgraceful maintenance, not like you don’t get rain in Shydney

What a fantastic contest and massive pressure. And I have always thought that the jumpers of these two are a spectacular contrast especially at night - second only of course to Dees v anyone.

Chad Warner… that was NOT a mark. Umps at it again

Their 50s look open because nobody can keep their feet – half of the players are lying on the ground.

BTW. What’s happened to the SCG this week? Mario Lanza concert? Pavarotti? Caruso? Certainly looks like they have dug up half the ground. Couldn’t be from that one 12 weeks ago? Were they radioactive?
