Sydney's record in grand finals needs scrutinising

[Lunchtime]

And a spoon is a spoon

Yep. That's right. Rebuilding after a successful period. It happens.

 

[Upstart Swan]

Is there bad blood between the swans and pies or something? I've seen a lot of pies supporters really revelling in Sydney's loss. Not just on BF but everywhere the game is being discussed. Seeing a lot of pies fans that seem extra invested and it feels odd.

I think they're just enjoying the fact that the Colliwobbles have now being replaced by the Swanniewobbles.

Does it ? Good teams stay up the top.

There was nothing to enjoy about watching a ten goal GF loss mate.

Theprospector living up to his name and unearthing these classic gold nugget comebacks. Love to see it.

I'd take 3 Flags in 4 years. I'm sure you would too.

Well it's a pretty one dimensional mindset isn't it. Doesn't like their reality bubble getting burst.

Now expand it out to show the bottom!

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Hmm indeed yes. Anyway enjoy that spoon.

 

[caloschwaby]

Not that I know of. Other than a final back in 2012 I can't even think of Sydney and Collingwood playing against each other in any big games, and we have not had any major trades with each other for a long time either.

It is probably due to Eddie hating the Academies.

The 2022 PF? Probably the main reason there's even beef between Collingwood/Sydney in recent times if we're honest.

Completely forgot about that game to be honest.

Get around the Tigs lads. We worked hard to not work hard all season.

Sadly I can't forget a thing

Yeah that was forgotten (conveniently), wasn't it..

 

[brutus76]

Lions smalls dominated.

Swans talls non-existent.

Playing injured players normally never works out.

Surely they trade Logan McDonald to WA and get Stringer in for a change of shape

Mills might have to shift to permanent mid and have Heeney more Forward %

A forward line of Amartey, Heeney, Stringer, Papley, Hayward and McInerney gives more flexibility

Hopefully they get more games into Sheldrick, Corey Warner, Mitchell and Cleary as like the Lions showed sometimes the kids are better than you think and don't have any fear or get overawed

Richmond finishing last ? Yeah it was

 

[UncleImpairedRetina]

Lunchtime keeps setting theprospector and the Pros keeps smacking them out of the park.

I hope he keeps some this material for his tour.

 

[sherb]

Yeah margins aside, a loss in a GF is a loss..

Collingwood copped both the loss and the margin in 1980........

Wow what a burn, 44 years ago and we were FIFTH that year

FIFTH!!!

Blues 2nd, knocked out in straight sets by the Pies

unsure what point you’re trying to make but it’s not working mate

There was a Collingwood supporter acting high and mighty on the Swans board after the loss.

I'm not sure how the Pies can claim the moral high ground over the Swans - in my lifetime (and I go back a fair way) it's Collingwood 3 premierships to the Swans 2 premierships.

Not a lot between the two clubs based on that, although to be fair Collingwood have been better at losing Grand Finals - 11 (plus two draws) to the Swans' 6 (again in my lifetime).

Plus Collingwood still haven't completely shaken the wobbles, given their effort in 2018, shades of 1979 in that game.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Had the ingredients this year, fancy recruiting Adam Taylor for this moment then leaving him in the stands

Haven’t been the same since Franklin Lance finished up.

You know your desperate when your referencing the 1979 VFL GF

Good to see this thread is still about Sydney......

Dont worry i can tell you dont understand. I'm saying that you're on fire.
