Bad luck guys, your boys were absolutely brilliant but in the end the AFL got what they wanted.
Yeah. VFL got the result they wanted.
Very proud of the boys and what a good season.

We were battling the crowd..the hopeless umpires who were influenced a lot by the feral mob of Magpie army..the AFL who wanted their biggest club in the Grand Final and the unfair 6 day turnaround….and despite all of this we came within ONE lousy point of our second Grand Final
You were robbed
Well f**k

Headlocks in the ruck, throws everywhere and every hold you could think of. You guys were genuinely ****ed by the AFL. Deserved to win that but gils wet dream for a Blues Pies gf is closer to a reality.

Commiserations Giants fans. Your boys put up a hell of a fight against a much tougher opponent than last week. This brand of Giants footy is going to be exciting to watch over the next few years.

Honestly, anyone blaming the umpires for that is just setting up a persecution complex. They let everything go both ways, didn't pull out stupid trivial stuff one way, and there was a low count. We ****ed up, but we also did an absolutely amazing job to be there and be in it to the very end.
Yes, another game won by the corrupt Victorian mafia. It’s getting so boring.

Also not 6 days turnaround- because of the late finish we only flew back on Sunday so just 4 days at home for us before flying to Melbourne yesterday to play a team in their normal home ground

Well, what a great ride …. Onwards and upwards next year …. Finish higher and get a better finals run
The back of Toby's head might disagree.
But I get what you are saying.

What an incredible season by your boys 
Brown was shocking in front of goal. Bedford with an easy miss. Keefe missing the handball to TFG. Tom Green out on the full instead of passing to an open team mate. Umpires had poor calls both ways, but that one was lost on our own boots.
Proud of the effort and the season nevertheless.

What a ride.
Felt we were unlucky.
The miss right on half time as we screamed into the 50 didn't handball or hit a man and didn't even score a behind is the difference.
Toby getting marked on the line and not spoiled through or hoping through would have been enough
So many little things could have changed it.
Great season.

They never pay it because he lowers the knees and the shoulder. It's a known thing by now. Ginnivan cops the same.
The legging one is the one that most annoys me because that was really clear. Everything else was about what they usually do and don't pay - absolutely illegal, but they'd rather just pretend it doesn't happen. And it goes both ways.
These games are won or lost in small moments. Not quite our night.

A win for Collingwood is a defeat for common sense and good taste. But I think I speak for most Swans supporters in saying I'm so proud of you guys, the team and it's supporters. You're making Sydney into an AFL town. Tonight hurts but he proud of your year. Looking forward to the next local derby.
