I'm thinking 10K.No way Sydney had 15k. Maybe 5k max.
We are bad arse.Wait, why are we the dark side?
Some reason why Franklin was booed?Very satisfying win.
Sydney are one of the more unlikeable teams we've encountered in recent times. Their premeditated targeting of Nick at the start of the game was pathetic and weak. Just classic faux tough guys if I've ever seen one.
In addition, you have Longmire whinging about our supporters booing Franklin, but completely forgetting that Ginnivan was subject to booing from the SCG crowd last year and he actually got injured in this game.
On the match itself, fantastic to see Checkers breakthrough and kick 5 goals in a game. It's been a long time coming for him. Just been such a consistent performer for us over the past 5 years. He currently sits 7th on the Coleman Medal tally.
Ginnivan had an instant impact in the final quarter. Just confirmed to everyone that he's in our best 22. The pressure will be on Bobby Hill to lift after a few quiet weeks.
IQ arguably played the best game of his career. Moore was also outstanding once again keeping Franklin under control.
We're not playing perfect footy at the moment, but we've consistently found another gear in our armour when we've been challenged by the opposition. This bodes well for the future.
So you have no problem with the disabled (and other minorities) being belittled and bullied, where life becomes a nightmare and they are driven to suicide?Because an entire generation has been indoctrinated to believe that hurting somebody's feelings is a terrible sin.
Agree. You boo Jim O’Dea not Robert Harvey or Nathan Buckley. It is appalling behavior.Massive pies supporter from the west, the crowds here are terrible. Have been at games were all the opposition champs were booed bucks hird goodes Harvey Carey WCE fans are the worst.
Interesting point you raise. I wonder if perhaps Buddy's indiscretions on field, be it reports for striking or high bumps, have led to a perception that he goes out to hurt his opponents? Just because he's a great of the game, doesn't mean he can't be a grub as well.Agree. You boo Jim O’Dea not Robert Harvey or Nathan Buckley. It is appalling behavior.
I reckon he could pinch hit up forward as well. Good mark and kick and has kicked bags in the past in SANFL. Something to think about when Cameron returns or if he's not needed in defence.He has certainly exceeded expectations as both a key back and a ruck. Bloody amazing really.

I still can't let go of that Prelim steal... that non-free against Papley.
Just on the booing topic, not a fan of it personally but each to their own. I'd just rather it be saved for actual flogs like Papley who've made an enemy of our club and it's players. Whereas when people were booing Buddy I just found myself asking why? What did he personally do to our club to deserve it? Sure he's a money chaser up in Sydney but why is that our business? Same with the JHF booing, I just didn't really get it.
Was super clean today, not ideal conditions either.
Was a great game from him today.Was super clean today, not ideal conditions either.
Don't you recall Essendon ferals booing Pendles when he was presented with the Anzac Day medal a few years ago?Obviously, no one is jealous of Pendles.
Very true Doc1763 . I'm a cricket umpire myself and sometimes the difficult decisions just follow you around. Felt sorry for that goal umpire. I reckon he was justified in calling for at least 2 of the 5 reviews (Frampton and Checkers last one). Good on him for having the guts to put himself on the line and officiate on the big stage. Not everyone can do it.Poor bastard had one of those days.
I was a cricket umpire for many years - some days you get all the sh!tty decisions at your end, and the other guy gets to count to 6 all day.
You make some good points. Thanks for posting such a thoughtful and well considered post.First, they are not living off the back of COLA as they haven’t had it since 2014.
Second, academy listed players have been able to be bid on by rival clubs. Melbourne bid for Heeney but Sydney we’re allowed to use pick 18 to match it. Blakey could have chosen North and didn’t etc etc.
If not for Sydney’s (and other academy’s - Gold Coast, Brisbane and GWS) most of these interstate kids now getting picked up would have stuck to basketball or rugby, or rugby league etc. Heeney certainly would never have got on the radar if there were no Swans academy. He’d have gone back to rugby league. So I really don’t get the gripes about the setting up of Academies. I think they’ve been great for the game at producing nsw and qld talent
Third, f@ck Fitzroy and any other Victorian club. If south Melbourne got half the hand outs “Sydney” got they’d still be at Lakeside… Oh wait that’s right south Melbourne got punted up to Sydney by the other VFL clubs didn’t they??
Who seriously gives a s**t about Fitzroy still being in the comp? They had no supporters and money and merged with Brisbane. VFL clubs screwed them in favour of Port Adelaide.
Fourth, in your logic we got a “hand out from AFL” for tanking for Thomas and Pendlebury. Not long after that the priority picks were abolished. We also used our academies over the years to get Witts and McInnes etc not to mention the great luck we’ve had with Father Sons in recent years. The Father Son continues to be one of the biggest rorts in the game, but because its Victorian clubs that usually benefit from it most - no one in Victoria has a sook about it.
Fifth, SCG is far from trash. Their supporters are pretty decent (yes a bit clueless) but compared to arrogant s**t bags like Essendon and Geelong, Swans fans are a walk in the park. And Papley wanted to leave due to family issues. He’s since re-signed with the club hasn’t he?
I get it, you hate Sydney and that’s fine.
Just to me the whole academies and COLA schtick is way overblown - and mainly touted by our former President as an excuse as to why he failed to deliver us a premiership 21 out of his 22 years. Geelong, Hawthorn and Richmond had no problem securing 3 to 4 premierships each in the past 16 years. COLA and Academies didn’t stop them doing that.
Fact is, Swans have had great administration, playing group, coaching staff and culture for 20 years. I respect what they’ve achieved. So it’s great today that we have beaten them, I think it says a lot about our playing group, admin, coaching staff and culture since fly was appointed in late 2021.

The freak Swannie injury was a catastrophe that cost us at least one - if not two - flags.No problems. Means that pendles and Sidey can play peripheral roles with less attention.
We haven’t had this depth in quality since 2016 when Swan retired
That was after the game. He's never been constantly booed during a game.Don't you recall Essendon ferals booing Pendles when he was presented with the Anzac Day medal a few years ago?
Absolutely no way that was the the case.Nah I reckon there was quite a few

His first half was pretty bad, but second half was much improved. Needs to clean up his field kicking, I think he scrub kicked it to Cox’s feet at least 3 times.On replay, Elliott was the victim of some atrocious passes and terrible bounces when clear of his opponent and in scoring positions. Howlers from McCreery and Mihochek were especially bad. Easily could have kicked 4-5 goals with a bit more luck.
Plenty of good signs though. Much more involved and impactful today. Seems to have turned the corner.
