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

[SwansProudly]

Bonz can you please wave your magic over this thread, please.

Dane at yesterday's press conference

“What I’ve learned over the last couple of losses I’ve had is that no one cares about your story, really,” Rampe said ...

“You’ve still got to earn it, and so both teams will be trying to do that, regardless of what’s happened in the past. It’s about tomorrow today now, and we know that you’ve still got to get out there and do your job, and you’ve got to earn it, regardless of anyone’s story leading up to it.
“The job’s got to be done. You sit here, and obviously, everyone’s not sure about how it’ll unfold, but we’ve just got to focus on that tomorrow today: doing our jobs, coming in early and ready to go. That’s all we can really focus on.”

2024 - the year of the Swan.

To all the faithful on this board, they won’t let you down. There is no more deserving a premier than perhaps the greatest Swans team of all time.

Enjoy the day, enjoy the celebration, this one’s ours.

Swans by 5 Isaac Heeneys.

Let’s do it !

Swans by 24.

Gulden to kick the first goal (for us, hopefully first of the game).

Papley for the NS.

A fine whiskey will be consumed by me regardless of the result. I’d prefer it to be celebratory, though.

They’ll leave nothing left in their tanks

Lions will cop intense heat and brutality for 4 quarters

Swans by 22

My prediction is we'll finally get a comfortable Grand Final win where we're all not having heart attacks and Rampe finally holds the cup aloft in triumph.

This is my favorite prediction. Surely by now it’s our turn to have a grand final that we’re celebrating early in the 4th?

Oooh, tough call. I also follow Tottenham and they are forever a letdown.

Maybe I change to halfaletdown or thisismyonegoodteam.

I'll think about it after the game, in between the copious beers I'll be downing after we win

 

[Cadsky]

Today's the day we bring it home!

Swanies by 17 points
Chad first goal
Heeney Norm

LETS ****ING GOOOOOOO!

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Today’s the day AFL fans far and wide acknowledge Brisbane’s terrific season but they just weren’t in the same league on the big day.

 

[MF]

My prediction is we'll finally get a comfortable Grand Final win where we're all not having heart attacks and Rampe finally holds the cup aloft in triumph.

God I hope so.

Haven't been able to sleep since 4am but I don't feel nervous (yet).

If we bring our best we win. Simple as that.

Swans by 28

Heeney with the norm to cap off the greatest individual finals series of all time.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

Im awake
Can’t stop thinking about the game.
Completely up to the boys now.

Bring it home Swans…finish off the incredible year you have had

 

[Troystenvic]

Lizard 34 touches. 1247 metres gained, 3 goals and a Normy.

Swans by 27.

please start well

 

[Jack Lord]

Swans by 4 straight kicks
Logan first goal
Heeney NS

 

[Olian]

At the airport, plenty of red and white.
Get the win, we’ve been the best team all year.

Swans by 31.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Gameday...

If we play like we did during the first half of the season (Minus the Richmond game ) then we will win for sure. Apart from that 6 week blip we've been the best team this season and a Premiership would be a great way to cap it off. We deserve it.

Heeney Norm Smith!

Would be gutting not to win this... trying to block out the possibility of losing 4 GF's in a row.

 

[Kirkswan]

I'm here now, let the game begin!

Swans by 31 (leading in the first and increasing it by a goal at the end of each quarter!
Norm Smith: Heeney
First Goal: Florent
Two each from our tall forwards

SHAKE DOWN THAT THUNDER!!!

 

[Jeffers]

The boys know what to do. They’ve gone on about focussing on the process all year. It’s got them to the last game of the year.

The process to fight, compete hard, provide manic pressure and execute under pressure will be on show at its maximum by our Swans today.

I Believe.

Just Bring it home boys!
