Autopsy If any of you are still alive we are into the Granny!

[SBD Gonzalez]

Have to give the Pies credit yer they were 6 goals down but they never gave up ever.

Darcy Moore will be the league best defender thought he was insane in the 4th.

Now that Eddie McGuire has gone I’m fine with Collingwood.

 

[Punts]

McDonald will have his work cut out , think he will struggle against the cats Talls

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

Congrats. Great win today. If you get the same set of umpires as today, then it will be close for a while next week. But alas, Geelong are going to perform an absolute destroyation on you

 

[Ticky009]

the tackling under pressure without giving away many free kicks was outstanding ...
gulden also great
and generally, i thought blakey was a positive overall ... he copped some criticism but he was busting a gut to the end, did some really important things late

Its really obvious in this clip

Last two mins: Swans rush late behind to hang on in epic prelim

Enjoy the thrilling final moments between Sydney and Collingwood at the SCG

There are going to be some interesting selection calls.

If Reid is fit enough to play, do you play a backup ruck as sub? If so, Amartey is probably the best option. If Reid is fine, do you keep Campbell as sub?

If Reid is out, do you play McLean or Amartey? I’d lean towards Amartey for structure, though it seems like McLean was favoured by coaches as an emmergency recently. If we go with McLean, I’d almost think it would be better to also bring Amartey in for McDonald for structural purposes - but I can’t see that happening. I hope Amartey.

Horse also made some comments about Clarke after the game tht we’re unusual. The journalist thought Clarke had a good game but Horse immediately said that Daicos got free in the second half. Horse also said that he wasn’t sure what would happen with Geelong this week. It was hard to tell if his thinking was scattered and he was no longer thinking about Clarke when he said it.

I hope Clarke stays in - I think he deserves to and we saw what happened when we took him out for the Essendon game. I am also not sure who he would go out for? Wicks or Ronke? Maybe we would go tall with both Amartey and Reid starting? I hope not.

Fair but their mantra has been obvious that you back a winning side

No changes ad nauseum

The only real change to the dynamic is McDonald over Amartey

So now the only change of any possibility IMO is Reid by way of injury and that is a real unknown at this point.

Thanks mate. All the best for not being in the grand final week

 

[Punts]

I personally would be playing amerty , there defence has to be made accountable

 

[Slingshot Footy]

I'm absolutely spent, I can't imagine how the players feel. I hope we didn't play our grand final this week but boy oh boy did we get through that with the skin of our teeth or what?!

 

[dopesayo]

I LOST ITTT

 

[The King!]

I personally would be playing amerty , there defence has to be made accountable

If Reid isn't fit yeah

 

[Millky95]

Amartey only comes in for Reid imo.

We should be targetting Hayward more

 

[Banyo Bloods]

How good was Clarke's disposal? Was heart in mouth stuff every time but seemed like he always did the right thing even under extreme pressure

He used to give it straight up to the opposition. Incredibly (and credit to him) that doesn’t happen. And he often bobs up for a goal. IMO he is a lock for the GF

He is a big part of the dynamic change as to the Swans success over the last part of the year

Why would Clarke not stay in? I see no reason at all to drop him, he’s a major success story over the last couple of months.

 

[The King!]

no change unless injured

he said clarke has been good, leads the side at stoppages and instructs and players love him

Cheers!

Enjoy the off season!

 

[Punts]

If Reid isn't fit yeah

For McDonald imo

Cats Talls are super professional

You have blicas, nimber 8 , young tall and Stewart

 

[the hypnotoad]

Thought we got our matchups correct first half. Won us the game.

what won us the game was being the better team across the whole game ... i think they were lucky to have got that close
we smashed them for two and a half quarters ... the first half of that set up with a crucial contribution from reid, the second half of it trying (and mostly succeeding) to maintain the edge without reid until i think we just got tired and frustrated, particularly frustrated, by not getting that important "next goal" ... and i reckon that started with heeney missing on the three-quarter siren
we were the better team, and for a lot of them we were quite significantly the better team

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

This win reminded me of the StKilda one, which is a good thing.

We dominated St Kilda, had a player go down (Papley) and then didn’t put St Kilda away. St Kilda kept coming at us and we just held on. We learnt from it and came out focused against Melbourne the next week and played incredibly well.

We dominated Collingwood tonight, had a player go down (Reid) and then didn’t put Collingwood away. Collingwood kept coming at us and we just held on. We will be able to learn from this and come out focused against Geelong next week and hopefully play incredibly well.

Also, I think having just the one game in almost 4 weeks hurt us. We didn’t have the run in our legs. Today will do us good. Geelong had a much lighter game, so they may not have benefitted as much (although they looked very impressive).

Love a back handed compliment from a loser.

As Captain Obvious would say gotta be in it to win it.

And you’re not in it so suck on those feathers.

 

[The King!]

McDonald will have his work cut out , think he will struggle against the cats Talls

he just has to play his role and take his moments. eg like morton in 2012

Thanks. But alas, we beat you twice in 5 weeks. And your saviour Jordan de go missing!

 

[Millky95]

McDonald is a better link up and ground ball player than McLean and Amartey too. But that mark he took was all class

 

[Punts]

A few in media saying we ran out of kegs in the 3rd and are gonna get touched up by the cats

Yeah, I found the comments odd and I hope it was just Longmire thinking into next week and forgetting the context was the question about Clarke.
