Autopsy And we are into another Granny! comprehensive 36 point win over Port.

Quite clinical really, which is saying something in a PF.
They all had that steely look after the win and with the song that next week is when we will all truly celebrate.

I'll repeat my slightly altered chant that I started the week after our last Port game..
Only need 6 in a row - 5 down and 1 to go.

I will probably be heading over to South Melbourne next week (Probably Wednesday or Thursday) will try take as many photos of Swans photos and posters flying there and post them here (ir that's okay mods)

I used to live around there (Middle Park) several years/a lifetime.ago, but believe me the proud town of South Melbourne has never forgotten the Swans and will never let the Bloods go.

Missing Jim Main

I used to piss him off writing troll letters to inside football (Jim's Mailbag) many years ago, he was a lovable old grump though.

1... fckn.... point...

Up the MIGHTY bloods!!!!

 

[Kiama Chris]

Very professional but slightly patchy performance.

Back line was exemplary , midfield/ruck made it a contest, fwds did a good job…Parker was outstanding, Amarty went up a step, Paps was Paps.

Stand outs- Heeney, Florent, Parker, Blakey, Warner, Macartin, Amartey.

Amartey was huge in every aspect.

 

[Punts]

IF McDonald was to miss they have to go smaller with a Adams etc

Please don’t play ladhams

 

[Ed_Gein]

I know we made another GF, but I had no idea it would be as easy in the end.

Port won the last 8 against us stretching back to 2016, and it really didn't look like it tonight.

We just looked like the better team all night. We are the Swans! Great team!

FURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKR

 

[Superstar swan]

why does this always happen

Logan and mills both under clouds .

Crucial horse gets this right

 

[Dangas]

Stevic will be

Don't remind bedders of that name...

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Bring it on.

Congratulations. Destroyed us and we didn’t have a winner in any position including the coaches box.

Hoping you take it out from here.

Port could learn a lot from a winning club like yours.

 

[Arrr]

Really pleased at the contested marking especially the down the line kicks to the tall forwards. All three key forwards really did their job in allowing that ball to come out of defence.
Hayward and Rowbottom were both tenacious in running leads, sticking tackles and applying pressure.

 

[the hypnotoad]

An extra days break and we saved a lot of energy and potential knocks by sharing the ball around slowly in the last quarter. Hope they bash one another tomorrow.
My preference is the Cats. I will deck out my car in red and white and take the Swansmobile on a tour of my home town of Geelong if we can get up. Maybe detour around Corio, Norlane and Whittington.

we can at least just enjoy tomorrow's game ...

 

[zyzzbruh]

We finally decided to take contested marks, and it was what decided the result for us

Thanks. Commiserations you played well but I feel last week just took a lot out of your boys.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Awesome to see our forward line that nobody in the media rates step up and win us the game in a big final

 

[kneecapper]

Really pleased at the contested marking especially the down the line kicks to the tall forwards. All three key forwards really did their job in allowing that ball to come out of defence.

Yep, made a huge difference when the game was in the balance. Hope Amartey keeps proving me wrong, he was immense tonight. McLean, Logan, all excellent.

 

[Punts]

Said a few months ago that you need key forwards that can take a game away in a final from the opposition

Tonight wa that

 

[bloodsbigot]

I've concluded The Squiggle is crying into its motherboard. We've made a complete fool of its AI ass.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Just rewatched the Rampe “incident”. Absolutely nothing in it. I’d be surprised if there was a fine.

He barely touches the bloke above the shoulder, no contact with the head or neck, it’s a push rather than a hit with the elbow.

 

[the hypnotoad]

Actually no. The way we played from the start I was confident.

yeah, one of those rare games where i thought we looked the winner form very early on ... and it worked out that way

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Biggest howler

Heeney tackle on Dew umpire 12 right there makes no call.

Inexplicable

They gave us a few questionable ones too in the end which made the umps look even more hopeless.

our turnover game won it in the end but a few Port goals converted and that early umpiring could have made things a bit different. In the end we took the umps out of it and Ken Hinkley was all class in acknowledging the Swans played well.

We had the demons of not beating Port for years but the pressure on Port for not achieving at Prelim stage would weigh heavily. Such a mental hurdle for footballers before the ball is even bounced.

 

[Big Blood]

I enjoyed that. A fine evening and a fabulous atmosphere. Great professional team performance. Everyone played a role. Could hardly have a better tune-up for the big one.

 

[Punts]

If mills does play I reckon Campbell will be sub

 

[Kennedy Parker]

I’m not sure squiggle is actually AI, I think it’s just a mathematical equation lol

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Assuming Mills is back and Logan is fine, you would think Fox would drop out. The question is then who is sub? It might come down to match ups.

An alternative would be dropping Roberts and keeping Fox as sub?
