AFL Grand Final AFL 2022 Grand Final - Cats vs Swans Sat Sept 24th 2:30pm EST (MCG)

[YouBeauty]

When was the last time a team carried an injured player into a GF that actually worked out well?

Stephen may played with a hammy last year.

 

[mcgarnacle]

Qtr 2 was practically even on the scoreboard. Sydney's goals were hard work though

DK is incredible for a teenager. Self assured, calm, always in the right spot

 

[PieLebo87]

If Geelong win the flag it's down to exploiting the holding the ball rule. Laughing all the way to the bank.

It’s almost like the head coach has a brother working at headquarters to be given the heads up before other teams.

is shit too. So they went in with a shit injured player

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Why play Reid if he was not well enough to ruck? He only saved his career by playing second ruck. How was he going to be a match winner as an injured forward?

I thought it was McLean in for McDonald, but it was injured Reid in for McDonald and McLean in for injured Reid. Bizarre…

Always knew you were a Taswegian PJ.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Stephen may played with a hammy last year.

Dale Morris had a broken back

There would be a few.

 

[mrmonkey]

Actually kind of reminds me of 2000, Sydney are like Melbourne came running into the gf full of momentum but ran into a more mature team essendon/Geelong.

 

[Vikingnz]

For one of the most one sided halves in a granny we've seen in a long time, Sydney are near enough if they're good enough. The last 10 mins showed the blueprint.

Get Reid off, couple quick goals and it's game on.

 

[Red mist]

Good to see you are still alive btw.

All good brah. Likewise. Travel well.

 

[hoss]

Surprised Sydney are even a rough chance. Getting smashed in general play. Then again, the only thing they're winning is the free kick count. Does the AFL give them umpiring concessions too?

Typical cheating vic umpiring in the GF. Handing to the game to the ducking, diving cheats from whoop whoop.

 

[Plugger35]

The Swans aren't out of it, they are starting to get the better of general play but they need to sort out their forward line and stop bombing it in.

Geelong have the aerial marking superiority so they need to go into run and stun mode, look for shorter marking targets or just handball to goal.

 

[Looney]

Well McGovern went ok in 2018…

Simon Black went ok too... against Collingwood also. Maybe we were too nice to injured players. We should have belted them

 

[Docker Alyssa]

Parker 9 tackles. Highest ranked player out there

Feel bad for Parker w/ his effort. Feel for McCartin not being the ultimate feel good story of the GF... And Buddy yet another GF loss coming. His $$$ and supermodel wife will probably sooth things for him a bit.

 

[Osho]

36 points. 6 goals. A whole half of footy to play. It's not over yet. The Swans got smashed in the first quarter but they managed to battle the second quarter to a draw.

If they could just knock 2 goals off the margin by 3 quarter time...all of a sudden it's game on and close enough to make the Cats nervous

That's the way NM! Still in it.

 

[Sea fog]

DK is incredible for a teenager. Self assured, calm, always in the right spot

He turns 22 next Feb.

 

[Tas]

What confuses me is during the week, don’t they limp around as well? Or does the limp come out on the ground on Grand Final day?

Big difference between mid week light duties and GF intensity.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Was Buddy subbed?

Bloods need Franklin to earn his money and take the game by the scruff of the neck!

 

[Cleavy]

Half time norm smith

Stengle?

 

[What is a cakewalk]

How's cal mills trying to talk shit on the way off. Your 6 goals down campaigner maybe word up your teammates to pull their finger out.

 

[PieLebo87]

If Reid didn't play they couldn't win anyway. He had to try.

How shit would McDonald be feeling though. A half cooked Reid is more valuable than me.

 

[demondavey]

Swans will win by 7 points

Sydney 81
Geelong 74

 

[rolling01]

So many umpring decisions going cats way

Didn't take your mob long, seems par for the course. Lose your GF's then blame umpires. Face it not good enough.
