Unofficial Preview Swans Vs Cats 2022 GRAND FINAL. MCG. Last Sat in September @14:30.

[caesar88]

Hey are you going to the granny, keen to get a few of the lads together on Saturday mid morning for a beer before the game! And if we win 1 million after.

I have neither the funds or the time or the geographical ability to go to the grand final unfortunately. But lucky you!

They will need to replace Holmes. He's one of the reasons for the Cat's improvement this year. Not sure if he is as important to them as Reid is to us?

They reckon he has had scans and will be right

I have no idea how Hickey is still running out games, his body must be completely stuffed.

The big gaps between games this month will have helped... he can keep this form with just the 6.9 day rest

just to let you know Bedford has started a meet up thread Meet Up - Grand Final catch up

Have we all forgotten about Callum Sinclair, although he has Retired, not effective immediately. He can come in for Sam?

Yep. But he mostly played as a first ruck and would be behind McLean and Amartey for the forward ruck position

Have heard a lot of Geelong supporters use our game against Collingwood as a reference to why they will smash us. I didn't realise Geelong had such a powerful win themselves over Collingwood a couple of weeks ago.
Going to be a great game that could go either way I recon.

On the main boards prediction thread the general consensus is that we'll get easily beaten by 6-15 goals. This is such an odd conclusion given:
1) our last result against Geelong
2) we match up well on them
3) choker Rohan
4) we play the MCG well
5) Geelong weren't exactly dominating Geelong in the elimination final either.
6) they also have a key injury

Conditions are perfect for us.

Yes I’d be bitterly disappointed if we lose by more than 3 goals. No excuses, with or without Reid.

Incredible that two of the VFL's foundation clubs have never met in a grand final in over 100 years of the competition.

Also crazy to think that Geelong and Sydney have been two of the most successful sides from the mid 00s (others being Hawks and Tigers) and only now meeting in a GF. Would have thought it would have happened during 2012-2017

We the most hated team in the AFL atm and I'm loving it.

I've watched the Logan score review a dozen times and am convinced now that a. the ball did cross the line and b. now I have sobered up the double vision was the cameras and not the 10 schooners I'd had by that stage

Love how favourite the cats are

Ladhams is such an idiot - didn't realise he got suspended again. If Reid isn't fit, this may end up costing him a Grand Final. (Though I think Amartey is the better like-for-like replacement for Reid anyway)

Hopefully Reid gets up anyway

Have no idea about abductors

Apparently the power muscle in the leg. So would struggle to kick, sprint and jump

Heard anything from if it is a strain, sore for 3-4 days but fine, misses a week to a tear being like 4 months

Praying they buy into the hype and get overconfident.

Watching the last quarter again, it doesn’t seem as bad. We had probably 2-3 chances to seal it and on another day we take those chances. Not to mention the absolute freakish circumstances that left Sidebottom alone with time to snap that goal. We were 3 1/2 goals up with 5 minutes left and that’s a more accurate reflection than the 1 point margin at the end.

You can’t ask for a better lesson than that last quarter. We have no excuses against the Cats now and I am backing us in!

i posted last night ... had heeney converted on three-quarter time we'd have been 28 up and i reckon would just about have been the last kick in the guts for c'wood
and as the last quarter went, i think we were just hanging to get that next goal ...
it was a manic, desperate last five minutes and the vic media will have a ifferent take, but really that was the only five minutes they were in the game, and that came from a set of circumstances that were all sliding doors moments
they should never have got that close
we will learn so much, and i'm absolutely convinced we can and will win next week ...
apart from their c'wood win, geelong have not had many really tough physical tests for a while, whereas we've been hardened by two tough finals wins against quality opposition

 

[Dale One]

Papley should have taken that shot just before half time, weird or concerning we were on 73 points at the main break but didn't crack 100. anyway what do I know hope we smash the cats, I'll feel bad for Gary Rohan

Unfortunately won't be able to attend the Friday afternoon events as I have decided not to take annual leave from work (Yes, I am a Sydneysider). See you on Saturday though if I get tickets!

If our last few grand finals are anything to go by, the result is better when we aren’t the favourites
