Autopsy Swans by 79 over North

[SwansProudly]

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

They changed it last year to award the club that had the best aggregate winning position across the AFL and AFLW. It wasn't especially warmly received so I'm not sure if they've stuck with this again for 2024.

If they have, the lads will need Chloe, Montana, Ally and friends to chime in if they want to collect.

Wow they merged it? yer i cant see how that would of been warmly received

 

[Kiama Chris]

Great call. The noise around him is massive and he got a real reality check, he’s just a rookie with a bit of talent who’s done nothing.

Big wraps = bubble wrap. Go nicely in our VFL.

Not inter-bloods politicking?

Who’d have thought?

But seriously….I look fwd to the day the AFLW players decide they’re going to be better than the guys - that’ll spark things up!

 

[Kiama Chris]

Definitely got a wake up call the young fella.. looked very slow at times and got hunted down and hit hard, particularly when he was caught on his left.

Certainly looks to have a bit of a JPK mould but has a bit to work on.. Hope he learns from it!

I was close by and I thought his appetite for the contest seemed less than his reputation suggested. Squibbed it.

Who is being discussed (potted?) Hard to keep track of a conversation of pronouns.

Wardlaw. Pretty disappointing for someone who is getting a lot of boost.

 

[SydneyBlood]

I feel like if we kept our foot to the pebble, we were a chance of a 100-point win. We let in a couple of late goals, which is the norm for us.

Foot to the pebble?

Wardlaw had been good in recent North games. Reminded me of Rowbottom with his manic pressure at the contest.

I think it illustrates how hard it is to play that high pressure and intensity football for 4 quarters every week. Sides like St Kilda can lift and do against us but they are not playing like that every week. Likewise North seemed a bit flat this week after some good performances.

Yep. Halfway through the second quarter it seemed that quite a few had more or less given up. Giving less than the full measure.
Thought Clarkson was pretty straight in his presser. Reality check.

very good young footballer, can't believe the criticism he's suddenly copping
he's the kind of player north need to keep, and build around ... although, if they don't want to ...

Love these, but this week IMO they missed the clear best effort of the day, and it was Tom Papley

giving about three or four consecutive efforts to hem North into the boundary line in our forward 50 when we were 70 points up.

So now I'm gonna have to GIF it.

Brownlow is going to be still a big watch because you could easily see Gulden storming home if he is grabbing 35+ a game and Heeney decides to slow down a bit. Think its roughly atm

My feeling is Chad will overtake a few in the coming weeks, he'll warm up his finals beast mode - no showboating, just focused power and destruction

 

[Kbroome]

Nah i genuinely think that Errol could go to another level given that with JM's PCL injury Errol might exclusively be on the wing and its alot harder to tag him if he just free roaming out of the stoppage rather than in the guts.

 

[giantsully]

Yep. Halfway through the second quarter it seemed that quite a few had more or less given up. Giving less than the full measure.
Thought Clarkson was pretty straight in his presser. Reality check.

Gotta say I thought North were pretty dreadful after a few good weeks. Brought some pressure early but even in the first qr when we doing our usual impression of a bottom 8 team they did little to take advantage. Decision-making and skills under pressure were abysmal, which at least Clarko had the good grace to acknowledge.

 

[caesar88]

It'd be damn awkward if Warner wins the Brownlow. His swinging elbow was far worse than what Heeney did IMO.

 

[Bloods86]

It'd be damn awkward if Warner wins the Brownlow. His swinging elbow was far worse than what Heeney did IMO.

My preference would, however unlikely, for Chad or Errol to win it from 2nd, with only Isaac ahead.

We'll be staying in Sydney because it's GF week and the speech consists of the usual thanks, being honoured, job still to do etc.

Then post the GF victory, have Chad/Errol awarding it rightfully to Heeney on the dais.

I say post GF because we really don't want to head into a GF having told the AFL where to stick it.

If we are being completely honest, the AFL would reverse-engineer a result to avoid one that has Heeney receiving the most votes. So we'll never really know if he would've won or not.

 

[Kbroome]

Yep the funny thing is that they could easily slide an extra vote or two towards Gulden rather than Heeney and then suddenly Gulden is then actually level with Cripps/Neale at this point in time

 

[The King!]

Hope Heeney holds on for the coaches award, deserves something

 

[Bloods86]

Hope Heeney holds on for the coaches award, deserves something

I reckon he'd take a Norm Smith over a Brownlow.
