I hope talk about the size of the ground doesn't give the players an out.
The SCG appears small due to the camera angle and how the swans compress the ground.

Go pies!!
 
Reid is a massive problem. Whenever we come up against a side with two key forwards, almost always the other one gets off the chain.

Swans - Buddy & Reid. We hold Buddy, Reid kills us.
Blues - Curnow & McKay. We hold McKay, Curnow kills us.
Cats - Hawkins & Cameron. We hold Hawkins, Cameron kills us.
Lions - Daniher & Hipwood. We hold Hipwood, Daniher kills us.
Tigers - Reiwoldt & Lynch. We hold Reiwoldt, Lynch kills us.
Eagles - Kennedy & Darling. We hold Darling, Kennedy kills us.

Every other team basically has one key forward and we do well against those teams. The teams with two key forwards are a concern and why Darcy needs a clone of himself.

Frampton is the Darcy clone you are looking for
 
Nah, the AFL execs surely want us to win …

… with that “From 17th to …” label, we give hope to the supporters of all those deadbeat loser clubs. We are primed to be the AFL’s Cinderella story of 2022. Swans or Cats winning it would change nothing.

Yep, we are the AFL darlings this year, we’re gunna have to fix that somehow …

If we’re the AFL darlings, someone forgot to tell the umps

I can’t understand how there is still a ‘Reid’ playing football. And being a threat! ‘Reids’ we’re not built to survive the rigours of AFL football, although (of course) the Sydney version keeps going.

I’m always shocked to see him out there.

A lot of Sydney supporters are shocked too!

He was only meant to be spare parts for Ben
 
I think we will win tonight but what worries me is meeting Geelong again. I'm not sure if I have too many losing Grand Finals left in me. It started as an 8yo in 1970 and it's been hard to see all those losses. I have a funny feeling we can go all the way but it's not going to be easy. Anyway, what a year it's been and I am content with where we are at and what the next few years will bring. GO PIES
 
Sam Reid is not known for his consistency. Hopefully he has a down day today.

Agree totally. Still have scars from 1970. All I want is to see a flag which were never expected to win, like 2002 and 2018 could have been.
