If they're over 70 years old they probably consider this an All-VIC match up...
Posted this on the footy jumpers board...
this is a nice jumper match up in theory, but not great for afternoon telly. Take for example from rd 19:
Unless Sydney were also to wear white shorts, which they seldom do, I just can't see the AFL allowing that mash up for their marquee match - and also can't imagine Swans not pushing for their full home kit, which they've earnt the right to wear.
I think logically it's going to be Sydney in their home kit and Brisbane in their Bears clash:
It's really not a bad look imo.
Been talking about it on the Swans board but a key to winning is curbing Harris Andrews. We need to make sure he is not taking intercept mark after intercept mark and I am more than happy to sacrifice a Swans players game if it means stopping Harris Andrews. If said player manages to stop Harris Andrews intercepting the ball it would be a massive massive win.
He's another one with something to prove. Imagine spending 12 months hearing about Frampton.

Brisbane is the best team , but swans have had the rails run. Lions play well when they take some risks and play on at speed . They can’t be falling behind by 4+ or 7+ goals though. Toss of the coin job…
Yep,, stopping Andrews is massive. Who gets that job?
Jordon? probably not
Parker? went alright against Allirr, but Andrews is a different kettle of fish
Hayward? done similar jobs in the past, and done them well.. but would the Swans sacrifice his game?

Dream Grand Final match-up for me. Will be happy with either result, just hope that the game is a belter!
The loss will be gut wrenching for either. Both teams deserve a flag. It would be the 4th GF loss for the swans if they lose since winning in 2012. For the lions, 6 consecutive finals where they have gone at least as far as the SF and just fell short last year.

I had a shot each time you wrote Harris Andrews. Now I’m feeling a lot better.
Some questionable AA selections this year and he was unlucky to miss out.

I still think Lions are a chance, they have the Richmond vibe where they start off slow but eventually grind the opposition down to comeback and win from behind. Belief is very important in these type of games. Not sure if the chips are down that Sydney have that level of determination and grit. The little man upstairs might cook them.

If the Lions win after the start they had to 2024, the offseason issues amongst the players, coming from outside the top 4 and being 44 points down 2.5 quarters into the semi it will be one of the craziest premiership wins in recent memory.
I think the Swans will win handily but Brisbane have shown in the last 2 finals they can go up a notch when it's needed.

If Brisbane win after the start of the year they had I reckon it might be one of the all time great club performances. One fir the ages.

Sydney is a better team but Brisbane gets to experience the week without any pressure. That reduced mental stress could be the difference.
Not this GF. As someone from and spent way too many years in Sydney, they're just about the most loathsome supporter base in the game (hard call between Sydney and West Coast). Absolute theatre-goers / pretenders. The fact they use cardboard to clap instead of their hands says it all.
Hope the Lions maim them Saturday.

You do realise the Swans have made a habit of wearing their opponents down all season and winning? It's essentially been our mantra in 2024.
Elimination final GWS: Down by over 4 goals, chased down the win
Round 23: Down at half time on Essendon
Round 22: Down by I think it was 28 points late on Collingwood, chased them down to win.
Round 16: 4 goals down on Freo, lost by a point (bad finishing hurt us here)
Round 14: Down by nearly 30 on Adelaide, won by 42
Round 13: Down by over 6 goals on Geelong, won by 30
Round 10: Down by nearly 30 on Carlton, won by 52
Round 8: Down by 20 on GWS, won by 29
Honestly think the teams maturity and don't say die attitude has been the big aspect of our group this year.
