Autopsy Finish the H&A season on a winning note, 31 point winners against Adelaide.

[Heeney2Franklin]

Bit of a ho-hum game in the end once the margin blew out but did what we had to do and get the win without thankfully any further damage done to our players.

17 win season is pretty good considerably what it looked like after that 6 week stretch.

We will enter our QF absolutely primed

 

[MF]

Professional display. Put the result out of doubt early and cruised through without any injuries. Also managed to play with a fair bit of dash and dare through the corridor which we haven't done for a while.

Couldn't ask for much more. Bring on September

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Won like an odds on favourite easing down.

Fantastic arrogant bruise free footy.

Job done, Grundy finally gets a rest.

I like minor premiers

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Great regular season hope the team can get through to a GF while I’m away

 

[RilesMacca]

No injuries and a good win with many contributors, cant ask for much more than that. Hoping these past few weeks will spike up the playing groups confidence.

Mills will be important in September with his role. Roberts continues to impress too, genuine gun.

 

[Bonz]

Did what we needed to do, definitely felt like we could have picked up the intensity at any point we wanted as well which is great.

Adelaide have been in decent touch recently, so a good solid win without Heeney, McCartin, McInerney and Papley is brilliant.

Going to be interesting to see the changes we make at finals.

I like how all our top players' numbers look so typical of how they should look for the types of players they are

Half backs racking 'em up but largely uncontested, heaps of marks at the top

Then the mids with huge contested numbers and tackling

Good balance

 

[Maddo11]

Caiden Clearancey showed a fair bit tonight. Shame there's no room for him with Papley Heeney McCartin and maybe Jmac to squeeze back in

Roberts is a gun, great leg on him

Oh and

No luck catching them swans then?

 

[wills2g]

We will murder every team in the finals series

The boys have remembered how to score. Early on in the season there was no panic if oppo teams kicked goals because we were so effective hitting the scoreboard.

Good luck to the rest of the comp

Even though he tapered off Chad’s first half was very good too. Nice for the other forwards to kick goals other than Hayward

Caiden Clearancey

Oh this is 100000% sticking. Love it.

Take note, that's what downhill skiing looks like.

It was quite promising having 13 goals on the board before HT.

 

[hairy biker]

Did what we needed to do.
Finished the season off with a comfortable win, minor premiers and heck we even won the first qtr.

Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere (of course could have missed it) but after our first goal a guy in a pink shirt, directly behind the goal, gave the white power/OK sign. (No doubt which one it was).
Didn't see him again, hopefully appropriately dealt with.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Job done.

See you in 2 weeks.

 

[Swan4Life]

Zero complaints really....maybe would have liked Amartey to clunk a couple he should have swallowed + Hayward nailing at least one of his two set shots but that would be nitpicking.

Absolutely stoked with Blakey and Roberts down back. Coupled with Mills return to form, I am confident that we will be rock solid down back with McCartin's return.

Hopefully a clean bill of health for finals. Bring on whoever, I respect all teams in the finals but fear nobody. I'm sure the players feel the same way.

Sydney Swans - 2024 minor premiers!!

 

[ashep]

Good win against a tricky opponent and we go into finals with our best 23 available for the first time all season if JMac gets up.

Simply embarrassing melts from a few.

Take note, that's what downhill skiing looks like.

If we’d been downhill skiing we’d have nudged up a mediocre % with a 70 pt win. What Geelong did this afternoon was downhill skiing.

 

[Jack2Jack]

• Started better with our intent to move the ball even though defence wasn't great. Won a first qtr. Middle 2 quarters were good, understandably completely shut up shop in the last.
• Tall forwards were better in terms of not getting out marked and competing in the air. Amartey still dropped way too many easy ones he shouldn't have, McLean and McDonald were pretty good though.
• Blakey back to his best. Parker looked the most dangerous forward when it mattered. Gulden and Warner set the win up in the first half. Jordon good job on Judas. Defenders hit the scoreboard was nice.
• Despite making it harder than it needed to be second half of the year, game clear on top of the ladder. There was a horror show fortnight thrown in there, but overall a very good H & A season...really only 3 poor games all year. Looks like we'll have almost all our best 22 available for week 1....this is as good a chance as you'll ever have, absolutely must cash in on this.

 

[MR0808]

Happy with that result. Did what was needed and then put the rack in the cue to keep injuries to a minimum and look towards finals.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Oh yer forgot 7 goal first quarter! only took 24 rounds for us to improve

As I kept telling people, we didn't peak too early, peaked right on time!

 

[Maddo11]

When Amarety realises the reason his hands turn to concrete at times is all between his ears he'll be a 60 goal a year forward

Yeah guess I meant we cruised.

 

[Jack Lord]

A couple of blokes who don't always get the plaudits ...

Harry Cunningham had a really good, no nonsense game.

Braedan Campbell good too. A bit more agro in him tonight.
