AFL Grand Final 2024 AFL Grand Final - Sydney Swans vs Brisbane Lions

Maybe an understatement but the Swans need to kick a couple of quick ones to stay in this. So far 6.4 to 1.1 this quarter has a familiar ring to it.
Feels like a very Port Adelaide performance.

High profile young mids being smashed. Exposing the defenders to a barrage of inside 50s. Huge number of opposition marks inside 50. Long, blind kicks to your own forwards’ disadvantage. Forwards being outmarked and outhunted at ground level.

How could our forwards not take a mark against this backline?
Blakey been exposed in one on ones by their smalls and the KPFs just clunking everything.

Because Mssrs Wines, Horne-Francis, Rozee, Butters and Drew piss-blasted the ball forward without looking to a pathetic, pedestrian forward line that couldn’t keep the ball from rebounding.

Meanwhile Ashcroft, Neale, McLuggage, Berry and Dunkley show what an elite midfield kicking to an elite forward line looks like.
 
Lachie Neale, what a champion. Grew up a Port supporter - sliding doors...
 
Supporting Port Adelaide is hard, but to lose that many would be hugely distressing.
You're almost better not making it. Hinkley has the right idea.

Collingwood lost 3 in ~10 years twice and 2 in 10 years once in the last 40 years but finished off with a flag three times. Long way to go for us to match that level of under achievement.
