Chad still in Perth?

Cmon mate, we need Swans to win this

 

[freo_leo29]

It would be more beneficial for us for Sydney to lose, but after the wank party by Fox for The Swans before the game, am loving that Geelong are ahead at the moment

No it wouldn't, Cats are competing with us, Swans are going to finish top 2 anyway

Another Masterclass from one C Scott.

Jlo notebook out please.

hope this slow start from Sydney is not due to the bye hangover...

David King is confused after his pre-game comments

What is it with this wank fest at he SCG all of Foxsports commentary team congregated there it’s a home and away game not a final.

 

[MadMac]

That was an impressive mark by Hawkins

 

[FreoGirl]

wow, Swans hitting the post - no luck for them

 

[MadMac]

Inaccuracy is a bitch, eh Sydney?

 

[FreoGirl]

Sydney looks soooo slow, considering they had a break

Their bye is much longer than ours, 17 days. Ours is 13.

you would be tempted to go on a proper holiday with that length of time

The reason I think Sydney will be vulnerable in finals is their key forwards are quite poor. Their scoring power comes from their midfield, so they're beatable if you have the right plan and execute it.

it's hard to pick any team for the GF at the moment - it just takes some bad injuries (which can happen to anybody)

Bloody hell, Chad keeps increasing how much he is worth!

Sydney will win. Doesn't matter how far behind. Not because they're good, because Geelong are meh

 

[FreoGirl]

Sydney have woken up from the bye now

 

[freo_leo29]

Cmon Swannies

 

[freo_leo29]

Warner's plane arrived from Perth at quarter time

 

[FreoGirl]

Heeney so deserves to win the Brownlow (at this stage)

 

[hoss]

Sydney are going to win this one easily.

best Reid article yet

Harley returns to Victoria following dismal Eagles loss

West Coast supporters weren’t the only ones keen to get out of Optus Stadium on Saturday night, with Harley Reid spotted back home just hours after the club's disappointing loss to North Melbourne.

Geelong couldn't sustain the pressure. Heeney and Warner trashed them the moment they let up.

Money is not an issue for Yeo - know the family quite well, and I doubt he is worried about the cost of living. or the expense of moving. He even has a house in my street that he rents out. BUT, he is very close to his family (especially his mum) and that would be what would keep him in Perth, especially now he is also going to be a dad.

It's unfortunate for the Eagles that one of their over thirty guys is going to be on the better part of a million bucks or more either with them or elsewhere while he is a key player in their side.

You would want some good medical evidence to pay Yeo anything close to a million.

The guy has played 70%+ ground time just 25 times out of the Eagles last 80 games (2021 onwards).
(we know Fyfe has struggled with injuries in recent years, Fyfe has 33 games 70%+ during that time).
Yeo's earlier years of quality contested marking has gone and he no longer kicks many goals as a midfielder (11 goals since 2020 ... and we knock Fyfe who has 18goals during that time).

Modern day Yeo has been valuable to West Coast because of his contested stoppage work with tackling and clearances. He mostly bombs that ball inside 50 quickly (high metres gained) to what has been an excellent West Coast forward line. That suits their game but would not work as well for other teams.

He'll see out his days at West Coast if other teams know where value is.
