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

[Nuggetz]

I've been going through a range of emotions, right now it's excitement. Yesterday it was nerves. Tomorrow, who knows?

Hopefully the players are handling this better than me

 

[Nuggetz]

We need to improve on the clearance issue from the 1st half v Power. That was shocking.

I remember growing up hearing the term 'last Saturday in September' as reference to the AFL GF. Is that not used anymore? Or is my brain just making it up.

Not used as the Grand Final keeps moving. Wasn't the Grand Final in October a few years ago?

 

[sataris]

I thought that too but wanted to be certain.

Yes, it was implode.

 

[McRobie]

Rayner is NOT average , he's like a younger Heeney with so much upside

I clarified earlier, his performances this far absolutely average out to average. He’s getting better but my comment is fair.

I’m running the full gamut, from calmness to peacefulness, quietude to tranquillity, stillness to serenity, imperturbation to placidity.

 

[Kirkswan]

Can it just be ****ing Saturday already?

NO! I'm still in NSW... they have to wait for me to get there!!!

It's still the last Saturday in September, and has been for as long as I can remember...

Nope, it's the last Saturday in September... it just that the public holiday in NSW is the first Monday in October, and sometimes they are the same weekend, other times not...

Ummm the 2016 GF was OCT 1





I'll not remember that one either

 

[Donza]

Off the top of my head.
2010,2011,2015,2016 were all Oct

How I’m expecting Heeney to carry us on Saturday.

No Google, I do not want to see a montage of my trip to Melbourne from 2 years ago. We've moved on.

Google is like hey do you want me to keep dragging up the past? No? Well I’ll do it anyway.

Need someone to put Melbourne as the water. Kirkswan as the little girl. NSW as the diving board and Millky95 as the little boy.

 

[McRobie]

I'll never forgive him.

Immediate trade.

 

[swanssince2002]

Samsung taking the piss by showing stories of the Grand Final 2 years ago!!! Ughh! We don't need to be reminded!

 

[McRobie]

I’m living in Florida atm so my start time is 12:30 am.
I could be paralytic and very emotional before we’ve even coughed up a 4 goal first quarter lead.

 

[Dan87]

Far out I hope the boys want it as much as I do

That's what it boils down to. Nothing we can do. I don't really think there's much Horse can do either.

 

[McRobie]

If Horse plays Mills, we lose and Mills plays poorly or goes down with related injury he needs to walk away. It’s that serious imo.

Agreed. And all those non-football related injuries has left me pretty bitter. We've shown we can win without him. In fact, having him back in the team coincided with our form slump. He's on thin ice.

Pridham just said on SEN that our cup presenter will be announced later today , i'm tipping Leo
Matthews doing theres

Longmire said he made a terrible mistake playing Reid.
If he plays Mills and he is a liability or gets injured it’s straight malpractice.
It’s no time for loyalty or sentimentality, got to make a tough call even if there’s an ever so slight chance he’s not right.

Hey guys, have a mate in Sydney who is unable to go but has access to 3 standing room tickets Level 1. PM for details. He is happy to meet up in person to complete the transaction.

He also mentioned Ted Richards 2012 and I found that quite alarming.

Agree there should be no room for sentiment anymore. Injuries have burned us in the last two Grand Finals. I hope like hell Longmire learned his lesson. Just make the brutal call.
