just watched 360.. andrew dillon could barely string words together around what advantages there are to sydney as the minor premier esp the 320pm time slot he dodged the question

Yeah, was just thinking the same! Think I miss Gill ! .. the Dill has no charisma and can't even form a good argument defending AFLs position.
Couldn't believe Gerard was almost batting for us how this year's there's actually no real advantage for #1 position!

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Plus, get your history right boss! Apparently this will be our 3rd final vs Giants

It's the fourth, right?
2016 where Steve Johnson nearly took JPK's head off.
2018 when they smashed us
2021 we lost by a point.

“What’s the point of winning the minor premiership?” Lachie McKirdy piece

 

[SM]

Hmm Saturday twilight is pretty prime time these days. Perfect for those going too.

“What’s the point of winning the minor premiership?” Lachie McKirdy piece

Swans have been dudded out of a prime time game. Television ratings show that evenings rate better. The only outlier is a grand final when neutrals watch.

Swans have been dudded out of a prime time game. Television ratings show that evenings rate better. The only outlier is a grand final when neutrals watch.

Why would the Swans care about ratings? Would think they should care more about the experience of the match goers. They don't get a cut of any money driven by ratings?

If anyone can unblock this article I think it talks about the growing blockbuster nature of the slot: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/subscr...ous&mode=premium&v21=GROUPA-Segment-2-NOSCORE

The GWS Giants and Sydney Swans will meet in the finals for the fourth time in eight years. Picture: Phil Hillyard
Veteran Giant Josh Kelly has pondered if a fourth final in eight years makes the rivalry between the two Sydney sides the best in the AFL.

In the wake of a Showdown in Adelaide so bitter that the Port Adelaide mascot was punched in the face, a fan complained to police about Matt Crouch

knocking his hat off and Crow Josh Rachele was dropped in part for mocking Power fans for a lack of teeth, the Sydney sides booked a date for another September tussle.
Adelaide and Port Adelaide have only met in one final in 27 years of competition – a 2005 semi-final.

celebrate the Giants Elimination Final triumph in 2021. Picture: Steve Bell/AFL Photos/via Getty Images
The bitter Western foes West Coast and Fremantle have never met in a final, while the Queensland sides have likewise not had the chance.
The Giants have won all three finals against the Swans, beating their elder sibling by 36 points in a 2016 qualifying final, by 49 points in an elimination final in 2018 and by a solitary point in a 2021 elimination game.
Kelly played in all three of those victories.
“I think it is a strong rivalry,” he said.
“Adelaide and Port, I can’t remember the last time they played in a final or West Coast and Freo. We tend to keep running into the Swans. It is great for football in NSW, they are great physical contests.”
The Sydney rivalry fire was stoked mid-year when the Giants posted a dry video on socials featuring Toby Greene
