Autopsy Im still shaking are you? One of the great Final comebacks! 6 point winners over GWS.

I know GWS were the better team for much of the game but geez, how many goals did they get from frees?

4? 5? something like that

• First half felt like a horrible reoccurring nightmare, probably lucky to not be put away. Third qtr felt better but no inroads, and some horrible umpiring stopping us being a goal or 2 closer. Seemed like to little too late. Insane last qtr, and who cares how you got to a home prelim, we got there and that's all that matters.
• Start better though please - they're a poor finishing team and that gave us a chance. Next team won't will run game out better. This is our chance, can't afford to waste it with sluggish starts.
• Got the Papley call 100% right was absolutely huge some of his efforts were amazing, set up both the match winning goals. Got the McInerney call 100% wrong...interesting what we do there next match.
• Heeney huge. Campbell best performance of his career and came in as the sub too. Warner's last qtr. Surprised to see Jordon only had 12 touches, felt like he did some enormous things. Lloyd's best game of the season by a mile. A few pretty good - solid performers after that group as well, but definitely one of those games where a handful did the majority of the heavy lifting.
• There were a couple that definitely looked a but over awed in the finals heat. Defenders did some stupid things that made it harder than it needed to be.....also why we slip over so fricking much?

Getting the win with relatively little out of our forwards inc Parker, Blakey and Gulden.

I prefer McLean to Grundy in the ruck right now.

Campbell needs to start. Jmac to miss and Adams or fox to sub. Wouldn't say no to dropping Amartey and playing a pressure small.

Hayward is so clean right now (most accurate in the league based on difficulty of shit) and despite his ducking, paps is huge.

no changes ... every player will walk taller after that, even those who were ordinary ...
amazing ... breathtaking

Best game of the finals so far.
Why was it put on in the graveyard shift?

AFL have no idea what a Swans Giants game is like.

Great win and credit to the Giants they are the second best team in the finals.

For three quarters it was hard work but eventually the Swans came through.. never in doubt.

Giants were extremely good as i thought they would be Toby not firing for them was the difference i reckon.

 

[SSwans2011]

I know the commentators shat on our defence but I thought Melican, Rampe and Cunningham were brilliant all game long.

Said the same to the old man, exasperated, when they mentioned that.

They had some shocking moments but across four quarters they were better than our forwards and mids and kept us in the game.

Melican was enormous. Once he returned, I immediately thought he was arguably a top 5 most important player for us, and tonight just further confirmed that to me. Rampe was unbelievable as well.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Oh Isaac.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

And the Blues have just swiped the man responsible. Dammit!

Just one of those things Northern clubs are disadvantaged over keeping staff

 

[Ticky009]

Anyone who claims Bontempelli is the best player in the comp this year can **** right off

Brownlow night I'm going to boycott.

 

[Swan4Life]

One day I will tell my kids that I was there the day we Lazarus'd the Giants.

All I have to do now is make some kids.

jmac will be interesting is he rusty or unfit ?

Not like he can run in the twos next week , guess they can do intraclub work .

We are better with a fit Jmac.

Campbell has to start , either Jmac or Parker sub.

Adams would be tempting to pick, especially if they decide not to play Jmac

Conceding 50 points by HT would lean towards not a great half for our back 6 but where the **** was the midfield for the first half? invisible apart from Rowbottom.

killing us in the contest. Hogan seemed to be getting too much space.

Our defense was under siege as a result and lucky that GWS missed some easy ones. The garbage umpiring didn't help us either.

Heeney was good throughout the game but had no support, we need to find a way to get Gulden and Chad into the game earlier because they will get tagged consistently. It's no coincidence that only when Chad started getting off the chain and find more space in the last did we start looking good again.

Jmac selection was a mistake but luckily Campbell was outstanding after coming on as sub and helped turn the momentum.

Melican was quite good in defence and Rampe blanketed Greene which helps.

Having said that GWS were just playing extremely well for 3 quarters, they were able to run through our zone, push us to kick it long to contests out wide where our forwards were ineffective in marking contests. Needed a bit of luck to get past them. They were by far my biggest concern and hopefully we've just passed the most difficult test this year.

I just can’t believe Campbell doesn’t start on the ground in the prelim.

McI had absolutely no impact & wont have any opportunity to play again before the PF.

Horse will doubtless stick with the 3 talls.

Jmac was just a mistake probably the worst type of player to try and bring back early from a PCL his kicking lacked penetration.

Adams surely has to start midfield was invisible the first 2 quarters.

 

[Voice of the G]

REDEMPTION ARC IS ON

GWS IN A FINAL THIS WEEK

PORT OR HAWKS IN THE PRELIM

CATS IN THE GRANNY

LET'S ****ING GOOOOOO

Do not write GWS,we might meet them again and if we do it will be a Grand Final.A great game.

 

[SSwans2011]

I thought they held up well given the frequency of the entries and the lack of pressure on those entries. We could have been much further behind at half time.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Another 2 weeks without a Swans game.

But this time, that’s fine by me.

I'd start Campbell with Adams the sub. JMac just isn't it

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

GWS gifted goals by Melican and Mills, and 2 incorrect high contact free kicks. Margin was always more than it should have been.

 

[The King!]

Jmac was just a mistake probably the worst type of player to try and bring back early from a PCL his kicking lacked penetration.

Heeney and rowbottom aside it was average for 3 quarters .

But what if JMac is better for the run ?

 

[SSwans2011]

Do not write GWS,we might meet them again and if we do it will be a Grand Final.A great game.

Assuming Brisbane get back to anything near their best, I'm not writing them off either.

I honestly think we could meet anyone on that side of the draw except the Blues in the GF (if we make it).

 

[The King!]

Florent did some nice things late

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Pardon the intrusion

You guys are definitely the best chance for a non-Vic premiership this year, and if my mob can't get up I will 100% be rooting for you guys to go all the way. Absolutely adore watching the style and system you play with.
