Preview Grand Final 2024 - Sydney Swans / South Melbourne Bloods vs Brisbane Bears/ Fitzroy Lions - The Big Dance

[Artygunner]

I've had horrid mental health for a while. I have my very first psychiatrist appointment in 3 hours add in a GF and I'm ready for a lay down already ha ha. I hate feeling nervous about a game of footy I have no control over

Hope your appointment went well mate.

 

[Kbroome]

Not surprised, seemed the obvious thing to do. Just a question of how we handle Neale and Zorko. Rowbottom JJ and Parker all can do work on either, head says just the simple Rowy to Neale, JJ to Zorko

 

[Punts]

Campbell sub imo

Give us speed on the game 2nf half

Fox has to play like last game

 

[Bloods86]

Adams not named emergency again is a curious one.

Good. Makes sense we'd go with an unchanged 23 that comfortably won a prelim against a team who had a 8-0 streak on us, with a 148 point turnaround from the last meeting.

Fox for Mills the only change from the team that beat the Giants for the first time in finals.

Backing in a team that in recent weeks has shown it can overcome historical results.

 

[Benmacca33]

Campbell sub for mine ..think fox could b really important playing a full game can do a number of different roles and then prey to god if Campbell comes on he does what he did last time he was sub ..

 

[Punts]

I have this feeling amartey will get ahold of Payne

He is struggling atm

Always say a big forward can take a game away and mine is Joel to do it

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'm certainly content and happy either way TBH.

Unchanged Or Campbell for Adams one of the other

Hayward kicks 4 plus and Blakey wins the Norm Smith Medal

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Literally no one is tipping us which overall, I don't mind.

However we are the minor premiers, going into this match with pretty much our strongest possible side. Lions only beat us by a kick with us missing some crucial players and they have arguably their most structurally important player out. Can't help but think if we were called Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon etc, we would be everyone's tip.

I wonder if this is the manifestation of a greater dislike of anything Sydney than Brisbane by "neutrals". Its a bit like origin where most neutrals tend to cheer for Qld.

[The King!]

Surprised again Adams isn't emergency

 

[TasSixer]

Francis and Ladhams as emergency is a little concerning. Maybe they didn't put Adams there so was no talk about a possible change pre game by media. You know they'd do it.

 

[The King!]

Feels like 2014 except we are the hawks not getting tipped

 

[Jeffers]

Don’t care if the neutrals are all against us. They don’t influence the game. As long as the umpires are fair and don’t give into bullshit fairytales influencing decisions then I’m ok with that.

 

[RampeRobe]

Campbell sub for mine ..think fox could b really important playing a full game can do a number of different roles and then prey to god if Campbell comes on he does what he did last time he was sub ..

Watching the replay against Port.. Campbell was very important, breaking up plays and creating general pressure with his speed, although he didn’t have the stats to show it, certainly made an impact.. reckon he starts

 

[Olian]

Im glad we are under dogs after finishing on top of the ladder…

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surprised again Adams isn't emergency

Well if there’s no injuries to the mids what’s the point

Although Francis as an emergency lol

Almost back Adams as a defender over that bloke

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hey Selwood isn’t brainless lol

Push up trade values

 

[TheMase]

To indulge me cos I need to tell someone. Today I was diagnosed with ADHD at 42.

Feels good but strange to know. Shame.

Swans by 27

My wife the same recently, mid 30s.

Yeah no doubt I’m happy either way just can’t get foxs 22 granny out of my mind he was unreal think he could do a job on someone like a Rayner especially when he sneaks forward ..
But either way I’m happy
Just please god don’t let there be a world we’re either ladhams or Francis get a gig Saturday please no

Yep. As long as they don't influence the result it doesn't matter what they say.

 

[Swannie0307]

Does anyone have any info as to why Adams is not even an emergency??

 

[TheMase]

I have this feeling amartey will get ahold of Payne

Bet you didn’t think you’d be saying that!

 

[The King!]

Almost back Adams as a defender over that bloke

In case there is an injury to a mid, what do you think emergencies are for?
