Preview Sydney Swans / South Melbourne Bloods vs Brisbane Bears/ Fitzroy Lions - The Big Dance

[SM]

That’s what makes the GF special and having the presentation at say 5:25pm then you can still get dinner with your family. It also allows clubs to have post match functions. Think of our side, it allows us to have a function in Sth Melbourne and then be able to do it in Sydney the next day.

It isn’t getting anymore fans at twilight which is a terrible time to watch footy at the ground as the sun is in your eyes half the game

Nah twilight's great in the ground but shit for TV, I hate having to wait the whole day for the game. 2020 and 2021 were crap for that. Waking up, getting stuff for the BBQ and drinks, then coming back to watch the build up and the game is perfect timing.

So how did Reid pass that rigorous fitness test?

Reid did his adductor 7 days before, Mills strained a hammy 3 weeks ago

The timeslot is odd when every other final is twilight or night.

We haven't played a day game since (if 3:20 is twilight) since the 21st July. Brisbane similar I assume

Sure did Punts - up close to where we sat - he simply couldn’t jump or move properly.

How is Papleys ankle? every injury is different , who knows. We don't get to see them during the week

Amartey ankle still I am guessing, Jmac still taped too.

Heeney got some sunburn taking the mark v GWS

Robbo talking potential match-ups:

Dunkley to play on Heeney
Rowbotton on Neale
Starkevich to go to Papley
Jordon to Zorko

I remember Luke Hodge observing Reid taking kicks for goal pre-game 2022 GF. He said that he couldn't kick 30 metres and was pulling his kick. When I heard that, I thought how could they select him...but he was one of Horse's favs. This week, I'd like to think that they have Mills running flat out and kicking at goal from 50. If he can't do either, don't select him.

Was there 360 today? With first crack and bounce last night I'm starting to question if I missed a day of work today.

I find twilight the worst as you can’t see the ball for half the game drives me insane. Just keep it during the day it’s what makes it special, hate night games it’s so dewy
