Game Day 2024 GF Swans v. Lions - Saturday 28 Sep @ 2:30 @ MCG

[TasSixer]

Slept pretty well until my cat woke me up. Nervous AF now. It's really a brutal game. One set of supporters is going home very depressed today.

If we win this (and we jolly well ought, as they say in Enid Blyton), I believe it will be a testament to a season-long strategy and a tribute to our coaching, fitness and conditioning staff.

I reckon the moment we got a few games clear on the top of the ladder, we activated part B of our plan, which was totally focussed on winning the GF. Making sure we didn't drop too many H & A games of course, but never taking our focus from the grand final contest and what we needed to put into action months ago, to have the squad fit and firing today.

I hope that by late this afternoon, it will be clear we have played this season to perfection. And they'll be talking about it for years and trying to emulate it.

Further to this, the Battle of Midway was the point where the Allies first knew they could win the Asia-Pacific conflict in WWII.

Midway was June 1942, a mere six months after Pearl Harbour.

But the war didn't end until 1945.

That's the sort of long-range strategy I'm talking about.

Anyway, I hope we've all enjoyed this stroll down history's laneways as we gear up for this afternoon's clash.

The rain has cleared up in Sydney but clouds still around... to go to the SCG or not. Hmm

After resorting to watching yet another granny on the telly, I've woken up to a ticket fallen into my lap thanks to a couple of mates. First granny since 05. The stress of the week has also gives arise to a cold sore on my bottom right lip. The last time I've had a cold sore was the week of the 05 granny, and it was in the exact same spot.

Todays the day, here’s to a great day my lovelies, I’ll be yelling at the big screen at the Goulburn Tatts hotel, we only have to win by a point. That is all. Stay safe &’enjoy. Xx

Beautiful sunny morning

 

[BloodySwan]

Rewatched the Port game last night, boy did we look switched on. We punished every mistake they made, moved the ball just right, applied pressure and closed them off. Bring that again and we have it.

Brisbane seem to be getting all the tips but once we win the cup everyone will then say "yep, makes sense. Should have seen it that way"

Swans by 21

 

[The King!]

Certainly a friendlier vibe with lions fans than hawks in 14 and 12

 

[TheMase]

Anyone at the game and watching futures, have a look out for 5 and 15 for team Heppell.

5 is Lachlan Carmichael 15 is Noah Chamberlain both from academy

Not sure if you know but it’s live on AFL app

 

[Spamburger]

Yeah I'm detecting a significant Brisbane bias in the media. While AFL House wants the money of a national competition it's obvious the VFL era lives on in their hearts. Conversely a Storm flag win in the NRL is just as interesting and celebrated by that League's management as any of a Sydney heritage team. Vic media need to grow up a bit

 

[Millky95]

Thoughts go out to whoever has to mod the board today

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

Been for a run had a few coffees, running archer’s energy out at the park so he won’t bother me this afternoon…come on swans

 

[bedford]

For the 1st time this week a little bit jittery GO BLOODS it's been our to win all season

Currently watching it but really hate assessing players purely off of tv broadcast, especially as Chamberlain is up as CHB and Carmichael is HBF

 

[Jewelsbon]

I'm sure Kingy has some standards.

Oh come on, he'd absolutely rock them

 

[Crimson Azure]

All the best lads, enjoy the day.

Bring it home bloods!

 

[Spamburger]

Good luck, worthy opponents. You have been the best team all year.
If you win you will be deserving Premiers.
Hope it’s a great game and thanks for a fantastic Grand final week.

What a gentleman. Can you imagine a Pies fan being so generous? Best wishes to you too sir.

TV is all good but never see the lead up or support work.

TBF both our boys seem to be doing bulk running as seen them working up and back a fair bit

Young Wes Walley playing in the futures game.

If ever a player was destined to wear red & white, it’s Wes Walley.
