SIGH 😞 I’m going to be completely honest, I’m already preparing myself for a finals exit in a prelim. To have so many injuries in the ONE weakness we have in our team: our FWD line, I just can’t see how we score enough to get to the Granny. Another [censored] wasted year by injury.

Geez, I’m not so sure about this. GWS look like they’re the most in form team and the most ‘ready for finals at the G’ type team. I reckon they’ll beat Port next week and have a very similar game plan to the Pies. Will be tough for them to beat the pies but if they make the granny and they’re playing the Lions, I think they’ll beat them. I watched them in a lot of games during the season and deadset, Kingsley has primed them to be a finals team. They finished way lower on the ladder than they should have by losing games early in the season to the Bombers, Tigers and EAGLES. Doesn’t matter where they play, they believe they can win.

A question I’ve always had, is the banner more for the fans or the players? Do the players even ready the banner?

This is the tale of finals every year! It’s the reason why the phrase ‘questions about X game’ exists as teams weaknesses are exposed in finals. Port will 100% lose to GWS next week. I can almost guarantee it. I don’t know what it is about them but they just aren’t built for finals and [censored] the bed.

Yeah I don’t have to deal with Port supporters at all and all the Brisbane supporters I know are just very good people so I don’t care if either wins to be honest. Coll/Carl/ESS/Hawks are just no go zones for me. if any of those teams are in a granny then it means I automatically support the opposition. Don’t even need to think about it.

Fair enough. Im purely selfish about it from day to day. I would rather a corporate, soulless and vacuous entity like GWS find success than to have to endure the endless amount of entitled and arrogant verbal diarrhoea spewing from the mouths of Pies and Carlton supporters by one year of success. If GWS play the pies and blues 5 times each in the next 10 grand finals, then I will be cheering GWS to their tenth flag in a row until my voice is destroyed. I cannot express how much disdain I have for those clubs. I wish them nothing but misery.

GWS will be hoping the bears towel Port so they can play them next week. They will beat Port at Port and go into the prelims. From there, if they make the granny and the bears make the granny, GWS will win the flag. They have the talent, the game plan and the mongrel for finals footy.

Legit should be 3-5 goals up

Did anybody think that vision showed the ball was definitely touched?

WHAT THE HELL??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Didn't you hear BT though? The crowd is like really, REALLY loud.

At least Sydney are smashing into some Carlton bodies hard this quarter.

Be nice if the Umps had equal thresholds for both teams in this match.

He probably could've absorbed the ball into his body to be fair. He had other options.

Look how much more physical Sydney are! Keep going Swannies

Gulden again.

Come on Swans, get up.

[censored] Gulden is a good player. Only 21 years old.

I reckon I've seen that exact scenario about 5-6 times this year and not only was it not fifty, it was play on. Petracca did it one game and it was fine.

Well, guess we're playing Carlton next week. Sydney don't have the kicking boots on.

We dominated that game for large portions and should’ve won by 3-4 goals. Tonight our forward line consisted of: Fritsch (with 1 game returning from injury) TMAC (first game after how many weeks since his last AFL game?) JVR (who is probably 2 years from beginning to hit consistency) Just not going to be winning many BIG final games with a forward line in that state when big pack marks are needed especially when we bomb it in repeatedly. That isn’t a knock on those blokes at all, but be realistic, if you’re a defensive unit and those 3 (2 of them having JUST returned to AFL level) are the main targets of the opposition, you aren’t going to be sweating the ball coming down there. And they didn’t, so we lost.

We can’t score.

On Swan Street having a bresky, reckon it’s about 65/35 to Collingwood in terms of numbers. We gotta be LOUD otherwise we’ll be drowned out badly.

I really hope he goes into the media and maintains this style of delivery. Dry but with a lot of clarity. He doesn’t inject any ego into it which is refreshing!

Thanks Bates, yeah true, now you’ve mentioned all that, I expect every step along the way to take longer. 6.30 is probably a good shout.
