Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 13 - Swans v Cats Sun June 9th 3:20pm AEST (SCG)

[The King!]

Cats are well coached and Danger missing hurts, maybe there is a loss of Hunger but been at the top for a while.

Would be dumb to write them off imo.

 

[The King!]

2024 Sydney couldn't even beat 2024 Richmond

95 blues lost to 95 Stkilda


89 Hawks lost to the 89 Bears

I could go on

lol yeah, the team that stopped Melbourne, GWS and Brisbane..... All of which were in great form before playing Collingwood. The team that literally changed the definition and expectation of what a 'nail bitter' even is, with proven performances, and did exactly that 3 games straight in the finals vs red hot teams, is the most underwhelming premiership side ever..... lolol sit down NRL supporter, you're drunk.

The only team this year that is in any sort of decent form is Sydney, most teams are getting smashed by injury, Sydney's time will come and then we'll see how this 2024 Sydney performs.

Lol Brisbane were he only noteworthy team of that lot. But we'll go with it. There were no injuries when we mopped the floor with Melb, pies and Gws at the start of the year. The swans have risen miles above the standard your mob set last year and no one has come along with us. Before the previous 6 years there has always been a dominant rarely beatable side - Hawks, Cats, saints, Eagles 06, Brisbane 3 peat, even your mob in 2010. We've wound back the clock. It's ours to lose and it's the remainder of the 8's job to pull one out of the hat just like the good ol days.

And it's not abnormal for those teams to get kissed on the dick when it comes to injuries. Maybe it's the strength and fitness team we've got that is also better than the rest. Results are built from the top down.

Hawks aside, the three games yesterday were appalling. The nmfc result was truly bizarre and unplieasant.

The game today was obviously incomparably better… but I reckon there is improvement in both teams.

 

[MF]

Amazing what Grundy can do.

Is it Sydney using him well or Melbourne not using him well?

i think he is better as the main man, sharing with Max Gawn didn’t suit either of them.

Was always a gun, just baffling why Melbourne thought he could play as a forward 70% of the game

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

This is easily the most lacklustre season I've ever seen so far.

Teams aren't good, shit teams are making Sydney look good, but truth is, this Sydney team wouldn't make top 4 in seasons past.

This is a full strength Sydney barring Mills, things always even out, they will have a couple serious injuries and fall apart.

We should just concede now. Pretenders. And we’ve been found out.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

How do you lose to the worst midfield in the league?

We're Carlton. We love finding new ways to lose.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

How could someone not be impressed by what Sydney are doing this season. They would be a great side in any recent season.

If they continue on with this form the only hope for a side like mine will be the MCG advantage on grand final day or just a complete capitulation, but they have shown they can fight back from a poor start to a game. In other years they’d lose to Carlton and Geelong after conceding the first 5 goals.

Plenty of sides have burnt out over a season and they aren’t invincible but the Swans best is clearly the best.

 

[Hawksboy72]

Bit of Hawthorn 2013 with Sydney might just be 4/5 goals better than the other challengers.

I wouldn't say that. I think the Richmond years were pretty weak. I think 2024 Sydney could probably beat them.

2024 Sydney couldn't even beat 2024 Richmond

Yikes. At 12-1 could have picked most recent premiers and managed to score an own goal.

Respond and ignore function is used.

LOL with pleasure. I prefer to engage with posters who have at least basic numeracy.

ahahaaha, classic NRL supporter, this 2024 Sydney team is easily the weakest top of the ladder team after halfway through a season.

No true CHF or FF Amartey + McDonald aren't a threat to any decent FB.

No decent FB or CHB, their game is based on the dimensions of the SCG, stoppage/clearance and surge footy, it works on a small, slippery ground.

They will get torn to shreds come finals on the MCG.

This post is going to age well

 

[Caj]

LOL

Like it or not Sydney are currently top of the ladder and IF they keep the same momentum going they'll be ready for September.

However we know what they are like on grand final day (especially in recent times where they've finished 1st, made the grand final.... but lost it).

It’s a fair point you make and a frustration for swans fans, but this year is very different

 

[the hypnotoad]

swans have some real mental demons against the cats

well, they did have ...

 

[Romeoh1]

Swans too good but we had a crack and did ok.

 

[Kapers]

I think most supporters are dreading the finals. Our grand finals are shocking.

Happy to be competitive, not lose by a lot and make them come from behind.

Could have won if not for illegal tactics but oh well.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Remember this and remember who told you what you can expect from Grundy and Adams

Mate if you think what Grundy has put out so far is anything bar outstanding then you are actually a bigger dill than I ever thought possible of coming across on this forum. Your premiership was typical of one of the great quotes in the Rocky Movies.

“ A one time luck bum “

Illegal tactics ? Illegal tactics that caused an 11 goal turnaround from 5 minutes into the second qtr ? Go to bed mate.

Yes those illegal tactics.

Look who's talking. Your biggest contender last year was Brisbane for god's sake. Meanwhile all the contenders from 2022 were injured and depleted.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Yes those illegal tactics.

And what are they ? I tell you what should be illegal, sooking now wipe those peeps and off to bed with you.

Illegal tactics like kicking goals against us, taking marks against our players and such things. Now cool off and enjoy the win hey?
