John “Snidely Whiplash” Longmire.I'm wondering if horse and the match selection committee have become evil, moustache-twirling tormentors in 2024?
Firstly by making sure Adams has a repeat nightmare of missing a GF second year in a row when so close, even though no injury this year.
Secondly, testing Mills 110% to see if his hammy can endure in the big one .. which he passes easily with great hope & excitement ... but is then omitted anyway.
I'm now wondering if JJ will be made the sub and not get any game time ?
(note to all serious BF selection analysers here: above said in jest!)

I'll take that. Neale definitely won't be feeling too great in the intensity of a granny after 3 weeks hampered.
We just need them to cop a bout of gastro now
Is anyone else riding waves of calm serenity followed by random bouts of extreme anxiety?
I've just had to take a break from work to settle down again. Luckily I can have a lie on the couch thanks to working from home.

I gotta say I'm loving the fact they have niggles.

Seems like they’re carrying a number of injury clouds into the game. Bodes well for us.

Apparently that's being sung, and I love 'Roar' it will get the crowd going. People bag Katy but she knows how to put a show on
Wonder if she will she play The One that Got Away for 2016 GF and then Dark Horse for our coach's thoughts of umpires post match?
...and then Hot N cold to describe our second half of this season?
They're banged up!
Swans are like they're ready to start a fresh season. We even omit a GTG captain. Stacked!

So was Cyril Rioli in 2014 but I find it nice that's it's multiple players of theirs.
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

I know what you mean. I got a tic disorder/tourettes, and I've been popping off more than normal through stress because of the GF. We'll get through it...

Looking for omens of sorts...
With Stuart Maxfield presenting the cup if we win. His last win as a Swans player was against the Lions in Rd3, 2005. (Would 100% prefer the Grand Final isn't as close as that one, though )

This is me
I get so excited then I get butterflies and feel sick…I keep wanting to put my swans scarf across the dash of my car but then it makes me feel like I’m going to jinx them
Pretty obvious they have had a brutal finals campaign and if they arent knackered from last weeks game they are not human.
The odds are heavily stacked in our favor
Not sure if this makes me feel good or makes me feel even more nervous

with the swans i am normally pessimistic as some form of self-defence against disappointment, particularly coming into finals ... but this week has been different, and i feel almost zen-like
to me, there's been a sense of destiny about this team, going back to that gulden/mcdonald/campbell debut game ... they weren't ready in 2022 but i never lost faith in what i've said several times in various threads: that this is the most talented swans team i've seen, and i think they're capable of not just this premiership but more to come
i'm certain i won't feel this calm on saturday, but i really do believe we're going to win this grand final ... we've been the best team across the season, and we're about to prove that
any uneasy feeling is more a case of just wanting to get on with it ...
cmon!
