2005, 2006, 2012, 2016.
Tight, contested matches with low to middle scoring and the swans go OK with a 2/2 record.

2014,2022,2024.
Open game against teams that can score quickly and heavily, and the swans get belted by over 200 points.

If teams can score heavily and quickly against them, they don't have the firepower to reel them in.

On SM-S918B using BigFooty.com mobile app
Big difference with midfield of 2012 v 2022/24.

2012 with Kennedy, ROK and McVeigh were up for the scrap. Just contested all game.
110 tackles. Ridiculous.

Heeney, Parker, Warner and Gulden just don’t work hard both ways.
45 tackles for Sydney yesterday.

Longmire has gone away from the contested ball and rely on efficient albeit open ball movement. It doesn’t work in finals and GFs
 
Need some advice from previous Grand Final winners over the past few years - what is your best purchase memorabilia-wise? Feeling very overwhelmed with all the choices!
Been there done that , my wait was a tad longer ,
How much you want to spend?
A better quality knight poster

A polo shirt with premiers logo
A Guernsey next year with gold logo
Scarf beanie , buy 2 stubby holders ( 1 not to use )
The framed limited edition
signed jersey is over 2 k

I had to wait for months on some stuff due to covid

T'was but a life time ago (and unsure what they do for the premiers in current times)

I usually would get - premiership shirt, premiership polo (I see that they've updated the "premiers 2024" logo - miss the old round circle lol. The (for you 2025) guernsey for the following year with the gold AFL logo and "premiers 2024".

The premiership magazine with photos from the day (match and celebrations).

The dvd of the grand final itself
The "Victory pack" box set (containing the finals series matches involving the premier).

I'd probably skip the dvd and get the bluray of the match (better quality). Shame that in Hawthorn's threepeat era the only time we got the bluray of a grand final win was in 2015.

Various items like a keyring, baseball cap (ours was pretty cool being done by Adidas - at least the 2013 one was). Stein/drinking glass.

The world is your oyster, it's entirely up to you what you buy. Go crazy and buy anything/everything or just select a few items that you'll treasure for years to come.

I've just found a silver lining as a Swans fan. I'm thinking of all the money I've saved on premiership memorabilia these last 4 grand finals.

Swans best players 2014 were ex hawks

Ps 2014 and 2015 might be better quality on Kayo. Just watching the first few mins now. The faces are different but the red shirts are already playing bruise free

Ps we should get lake back to give our tall defenders and Chol some tips about accidentally hurting opponenets

Ashcroft comes across as a a bit of a FIGJAM.
Appearances are very deceptive. He doesn’t come across that way to me at all. Wouldn’t life be boring though if we all thought, and saw others, exactly the same.

Have picked up a few little things, the foil Mark Knight poster being one of them. Thanks to Ashcroft being crowned Norm I have been able to spend a bit more than I had planned 😂🤑

I had no idea the better poster existed but a tigers fan posted on this thread about them pre 21 grand final. My wife went on line after gf to get me one . I was in no condition to think straight
 
This week of Grand Finals celebrations is seriously the greatest. Seeing Brisbane/old Fitzroy fans out with their jumpers and scarves at the shops. It's the most enjoyable week after a win... Savour it Lions fans, you really do miss it once it's gone.
the lions fan from gogglebox was in tears
 
Not sure who will win, but the margin will be 69 points.

Edit: P.s. How the **** is Katy Perry costing $5 mill too appear? AFL campaigners can't afford to fund junior footy yet can blow that much dough on a has been.
Gee I was close.

P.s. Having spoken to some people I understand the Menulog ad apparently went off a treat.
 
My God! Listening to the "highlights" from the SEN call on Saturday.. and man am I thankful I wasn't subjected to Derwaynes COLOUR.
"Cobra Kai, Sky Cam, Smoking Joe Say it Ain't So"
He's a walking twitter hash tag... with zero likes (from me)
