Unofficial Preview GF v Sydney Discussion

[3KZ is Football]

They don't make Dews like Jesus any more

Blondie - “Union City Dews”

 

[3KZ is Football]

I was listening to GOLD FM today and they played some Huey Lewis and the Dews.

Reading the Swans board, they're almost certain of victory this weekend.

 

[Sproj]

If you look at the historic stats, we really are up against it to win it. So if we do it, it will become part of folklore.

They're not going to say they're no chance lol. Can see why both supporters can be confident.

 

[Section 5]

The weather prediction still looking good.
it is Melbourne though.

 

[010203]

How many Sydney players are left still playing from the 2014 & 2016 Grand Final losses?

Parker 2014&2016, Isaac Heeney 2016.

 

[Section 5]

I mean it's not wrong, but up until 1971 we only had a final four.

Never let facts get in the way of a media post

 

[knaf]

We've been watching them testing the lighting for the entertainment all week. I can confirm that day time lights and shows just aren't that impressive.

Either way sitting at my desk seeing everything build up around the ground, it's hard to not keep the lid on things

Shell House?

 

[Elixuh]

 

[010203]

He could achieve this feat by beating the same club twice.

 

[Section 5]

Channel 7 news
Swans unchanged
Lions one change Fort for McInerney

Love the Kinky Friedman reference

 

[morsie]

Ignore it all, it's just the media chasing clicks. They keep playing up the Neale thing when he and Fages have said it's no different than its been for months. No-one wants to get injured in a training session before the GF, and of course plenty are nursing at this time of year. Nothing to worry about, keep the excitement pumping

They have sore players as well.Campbell..

 

[Bucking Beads]

Surely we keep McKenna as the sub. Can’t see us changing that.

 

[Perrip]

Neale will be up with Fagan should Brisbane win the cup on Saturday. Andrews was going to be the Captain on stage with Fagan last year if we won.

 

[Mayestro]

Geez the majority are picking us. Only makes me marginally less nervous.

 

[acuguy]

Surely we keep McKenna as the sub. Can’t see us changing that.

i thought the sub could only come from a player named on the bench?

 

[Perrip]

It can. We'll just change the bench/on-field positions in our final teams list + select McKenna as sub. We've done that for the last 3 finals.

Fox footy should be cancelling Ben Dixon’s contract, I keep seeing terrible takes from him.

I’ve seen an occasional bad take from him but most of what he says is fairly reasonable. And while having Heeney get the Norm Smith on the losing side is improbable if any player could do it it’s Heeney, and if it means we get the win I’ll take it.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

The Age tipsters are going 8-6 for the Swans

 

[luthor]

I've got good vibes about the game but frankly, I'm surprised at the number of tipsters picking us.

Looking at it logically, Sydney have had the easier path, we have some key players under some sort of injury cloud....Lachie, Hipwood and Payne and the Swans have a damaging midfield that is at least the equal of ours.

If we win this, it will be on heart, guts and sheer will to win.

As someone who is a massive fan of Ted Lasso, this week has been very enjoyable thanks to all of the references by the team and video mashups by the media!

 

[Perrip]

Brisbane winning and BT announcing he isn't commentating next year?

Pretty good way to end the 2024 season if it happens.
