Autopsy A win for the true believers - swans down pies

We over ran them like I said we could.

We have just started the taper from the training block.

The fire is back.

Coaching decisions perplexing. More to come later.

Never in doubt.

We’re baaaaaaaaaack!

Collingwood giving up a 27 point lead midway through the 4th quarter surely defeats the narrative they are masters of the close game once and for all.

We're 2-0 in close games with them since 2022 and 4-1 overall. Almost a shame they won't make finals considering that.

 

[Ballarat Bob]

How can the team be so effing bad for three and a half quarters and then suddenly turn it on like that ?
Amazing from Heeney and we finally closed out a close one.
Still yet to be convinced we are back but at least we are still kicking this year.

 

[Chaisa]

Honestly that’s probably the best way to win possible for an out of touch team.

Down and out, against quality and hungry opposition, with the game looking dead late.

Instead, our stars show why they’re stars and we produce a 10 minute patch akin to our very best.

Given how many close games we’ve lost getting the monkey off the back was really important too.

Is there still a lot to work on? Shit yeah there is. But it’s the sort of win that will regain confidence. And the kind of win that makes me convinced we’re still alive.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Heeney and Warner won it for us 14 disposals each in the last.

 

[The King!]

Parker winning the clearance and belting it out of the middle was the firestarter just like old times.

Not running him into the ground helps

But yeah wicks can't do that

 

[Cayman Docker]

Well done Swanies, back with a bang. Just the shot in the arm you needed and perfectly timed

 

[kickthething]

Win a close one…..tick.

 

[Skeparovic]

Once again, we win when I preview Ticky009 The King!

Thanks for volunteering and being locked in for pre-game previews for all finals matches

 

[Dubai Quacker]

3/4 of utter poo.

Then Horse FINALLY shifts Logan forward & Parker into the guts. And makes the sub with 10 mins to go.

Great win in the end - but I’m still of a view that Horse was saved from embarrassment by Heeney’s single quarter of beast-mode.

 

[Maddo11]

NO LUCK CATCHING THEM SWANS THEN?

I always knew they were just flukes.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Prior to that result in matches under 10 points we were 0-4 Pies were 5-0

You said if we were getting done, to put the cue in the rack.

 

[SSwans2011]

Let's not forget Collingwood had everything to play for too, and it showed.

Also worth noting that win effectively guarantees us a home final. Yes, there's a lot to work on. But that's massive.

Logan down back was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Instead of playing tall players out of position, pick a balanced ****in team.

He definitely got lucky

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I always knew they were just flukes.

Its just the way they play with close games eventually its going to go against you.

Got them a flag tho.

 

[Donza]

Lisa Carrington!

It's a good night

 

[kangle4]

The sheer relief on the the coaches and players faces at the end.

Thats what im worried about we got out of jail with Heeney and Warner reverting to their early form

 

[The King!]

Warner gets goals we win games

 

[RilesMacca]

I still can't believe we won that.

Just how our leaders ALL collectively lifted and started to win contests was fantastic.

Still alot of work to be done though, our decision making and footy smarts was awful for 3 quarters. However you just have to be proud with a comeback like that.

The players needed to treat that final quarter as a season on the line scenario. Rub of the green was handy for us no doubt, but great to see us finally nab one from the clouds.

Look **** worrying that our best players had to play well.
lot to,work on

but this side just needed to remember how to actually fight

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Well Logan is down back and Amartey is flakey again so we need more midfield goals than ever!

You said if we were getting done, to put the cue in the rack.

We were never done.

We hit the lead and put the cue in the rack.
