Autopsy Groundhog day averted! Swans defeat Cats by 30 infront of a packed SCG

Stats from both teams sorted by disposal. How ****in good is thisView attachment 2015303

Didn't realise how much JMac got it today

 

[danz_danz]

Melicans maturity is massive.

Rampe Mccartin and Melican had large patches under the pump, but the fact we can rely on 3 key defenders to be so smart and composed is massive.

Used the word Massive too much, but it is massive

Lewis killed it. That mark 1v1 against Hawkins on the line was massive too!

 

[BloodySwan]

Defence missed Blakey once he subbed off

He is listed as tactical

Was doing a good job against Cameron

 

[melbournehammer]

He is listed as tactical

When he was running off he definitely had a limp and he started the third quarter on the bench for quite a while

 

[The King!]

The Geelong fwits whinging we had 2 byes before they had one, lol

To be fair that’s pretty much feelings b midfield playing although perhaps their b midfield is about as good as it gets for them unless a few more Geelong falcons make it back for money and picks

 

[Superstar swan]

I've been watching footy for 35 years and the trio of errol, heeney and warner just might be the best ever

The ignorance around the OR bye is so ****ing dumb. It actually hurts

Yeah it was mentioned pre-game that Geelong are one of the worst in the comp for conceding midfield disposals.

I thought their midfield actually did pretty well all things considered.

 

[melbournehammer]

genuinely feel like we left a ten goal win on the table with some of the slips and errors going through the centre square

Not that it matters much but I would have liked to have won a bit more comprehensively just to help ease the memory of the year that can’t be referred to

 

[MR0808]

Imagine if we play a full 4 quarter game

That's not the Swans way, otherwise it's too unfair to the league

Evening folks, great win, great season.
Can anyone explain what I've done to get constant notifications when you guys start new threads?

Only thing i was thinking after the first 6 goals was how do we get back into the contest none the less a 60 point win!!

Geelong started exceptionally well gotta give them credit for that they made us fumble and look uncertain.

But to beat us you have to do it for 4 quarters which is far from easy to do.

We have scoring options everywhere incredibly potent.

Most balanced Sydney side in a very very long time.

 

[The King!]

Do we invoice the Pies each month for Grundy?

Without wanting to detail the thread…imagine the chutzpah of Geelong fans moaning about academy selections after the complete Tory of father son that gifted them the first half of their dynasty

 

[Daniel B]

Did you mean "averted"?

Great effort for 3 quarters.

Looked somewhat flat-footed early and some inconsistent umpiring calls (and non-calls) didn't help.

But when we get going boy oh boy are we hard to stop. Buckle up folks!

 

[the hypnotoad]

That was a weird game. I felt like there were large stretches of that game where we really weren't very good at all, not just in the first quarter. But I also feel like the majority of that can be attributed to the Cats. They were damn good. I can't recall a Swans game this year where we've had such little time and space to work with. We had to make risky plays and execute them with surgical precision just to get ahead of that mob, and when we failed they consistently punished us. So credit to them.

And it probably makes our win even more impressive.

I think some had poor games on the whole but our cream rose to the top. No matter how tough the game is, you're probably going to win if Heeney, Gulden, Grundy, Rowbottom, Warner, Blakey, McInerney, Melican, McCartin, Lloyd, Amartey and McDonald all have good games.

i could only watch in bits but i thought once we got on a roll we were our own worst enemies, we made mistakes that cost us opportunities and kept them in the game
but basically, we outclassed them

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

That was some sort of game from Grundy. Heeney and Warner had exceptional patches throughout the afternoon but Gulden put together the most complete performance in terms of staying involved. That late goal was just icing on an incredible cake. His best game all year.

Thought Amartey was impressive in front of goals after some early misses, really important and growing each week as an important cog in our team.

Amartey is really growing this year. He kept coming and coming. If he keeps this workrate up, people will be talking up another swans rookie wonder

our mods will have to check footage from the cameras they set up in your place...they'll get back to you ...

Their lack of bye worked in their favour imo. They came out breathing fire while we seemed like we were on holiday.

Also we play more games in the back end of the season

Their fans are deluded and obnoxious which is a shame as Geelong are a club I want to respect

 

[Cadsky]

Unfortunately didn't get to watch the game, only brief score updates. I'll be watching replay tonight, but when I first checked the score and we were 30 points down in the first, my tlfirst thought was, typical slow start but we'll run over them in the end. Seems I was right. Would prefer not to let opposition get such a jump on us though.

The only time momentum swung back to Geelong in the 2nd half was when Grundy was on the pine.

Today I saw the AA ruckman hit peak form.

And it was superb.
