I thought the captain holds it no? Or did Neale eat Zorko to fill out his cankles?

Much prefer Neale to Zorko at least. Bar is literally on the floor there though.

 

[Hoos]

I asked relatives in Sydney before the Giants Swans final if they even knew it was on and they said no.

Had they heard of either team before?

I have a theory as to why a comfortable win for Sydney is a better than average chance.

Since the elimination finals were introduced, on 7 occasions a team has reached the grand final to face a team that has had a week's break during the finals.

1980 - Collingwood lost by 81 points
1983 - Essendon lost by 83 points
1988 - Melbourne lost by 96 points
1994 - Geelong lost by 80 points
1997 - Adelaide won by 31 points*
2019 - GWS lost by 89 points
2021 - Bulldogs lost by 74 points

* The opponent was St Kilda, which almost doesn't count. And Adelaide - who finished 7th - were allowed to host a final against Geelong - who finished 2nd - in week 2 of the finals. So they had a leg up. The league were desperate for Adelaide to win a flag.

Fitzroy and South were two sides I never minded back when they were still in Melbourne.

Who do you think they'll help over the line today? Both sides had a few dodgy calls go there way last week.

Just old enough for Fitzroy they were treated disgracefully
