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

[PJ Power]

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.

 

[Hammer#8]

Dunkley seriously good player.

 

[Burningleviathan]

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.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Bloods spirit shining through again.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

fages absolutely locked in this season/finals campaign. no emotion just determined to win.

ken hinkley wins 1 final and it's ****ing aeroplane dance and shooting his mouth. absolute loser

 

[afl2004]

Bloods spirit shining through again.

There only getting called the swans for the next 6 months

 

[Portmagpies36]

The one goal Sydney scored was a gift

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Imagine being Darcy Forte in night now lol

And deserves it, playing a great game

 

[philreich]

Sydney leads Lohmann by a goal at half time.

 

[Rowd072]

I'm happy to see Sydney get smashed but this shows how far off the mark we were last week. I'm sitting here feeling incredibly frustrated and even a bit angry by last week as I knew how beatable the Swans were. All I can hear is Ken saying what a wonderful side Sydney are blah blah blah

 

[TazD]

Mills addressing the players is weird.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Dunkley seriously good player.

See what happens when you move to be with your sister?

 

[sobrave]

If we were in Brisbane's position I'd still think we're gonna lose

 

[PJ Power]

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.

 

[JimmyBC]

This is meek from Sydney they needed to start a blue about halfway through that quarter just to slow things down for a minute, it's pretty friendly out there.

 

[YoungsterPA]

Sydney being exposed all over the ground

, what a champion. Grew up a Port supporter - sliding doors...

 

[Portology]

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.

 

[Hammer#8]

So really this shows we're miles off it

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Poor Sydney

[raptalia]

If Brisbane win this they will have won four finals in this finals series and six from their last seven finals. That is some record and possibly the reverse of Ken's inglorious record.

 

[Nelso]

That flog Papley put back into his box.

Love to see it.

 

[Donuts_]

Brisbane would be leading by 12 goals right now if we made it

 

[Portmagpies36]

How many of our forwards would make the Brisbane side? I have got Rioli and that’s it.
