truly embarrassing from Sydney. Bullied and outworked by the lions that quarter. Ashcroft is brilliant.

And they’ve got his brother lined up as a certain top 3 pick.

 

[Kram]

Sydney's forward line is being shown up for the shit it is. They aren't winning **** all with McDonald and Amartey.

Plug in solution.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Oh dear Sydney….

 

[Kram]

He's back.
Embracing his inner Sydney hater once more.

Thought you would be the last bloke to white knight something from NSW so bad

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

And they’ve got his brother lined up as a certain top 3 pick.

And they reckon he could be better!

 

[chef]

Swans have shit the bed again. Always seems like the team coming through the tighter PF wins the next week.

 

[Kram]

Getting embarrassing now.

 

[glenferry23]

Bleh. Was hoping for some kind of response from Sydney this quarter. A contest at least.

 

[99 Problems]

Tough watch. Not shocked to lose but I didn’t expect the same lack of effort as 2022. We have no plan for when the game isn’t on our terms.

Not sure what needs to be done with this group but hard to see how they get over these scars and actually win a flag.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

I think Sydney should be banned from Grand Finals.

Still plenty to work with there at the club and more opps at winning it.

Lohmann, Ah Chee, Cameron, Rayner vs Motlop, Fogarty, Owies, Fantasia.

Trade swap?

Well done to McDonald for getting Sam Reided 2 years ago and then Sam Reiding Taylor Adams

medal for you mate, with Amartey close behind.

Horse hasn't learned his lesson. Still taking injured players into GFs

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

this has to totally mess the swans up mentally

 

[glenferry23]

Fair play to Brisbane, I thought they’d spurned their chance when they were squeezed out of top 4 late in the season. They’ve had a hell of a finals series and have backed it up 3 weeks in a row on the road. Deserving winners.

As for Sydney however, geez what a capitulation yet again. As a contest this has been poor to watch.

 

[Magma]

couldn't split them this morning. Thought sydney might have the advantage with Grundy vs fort. Didn't think they would shame themselves again. Margin flatters them too. Was hoping for a close one and didn't care who won. Still need a big dominant forward to win a grand final in most cases, and Sydney's don't cut the mustard.

The "star rucks" of the comp don't win many flags. An overrated position of the ground.

 

[Kram]

Saying the ruck position on the ground is 'overrated' smacks of pencil neck ignorance on the game that was only ever watched from the sidelines.

It's a pivotal position on the field. Whether or not it is worth paying to the level of the higher salaries on long contracts is definitely debatable though.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

As well as Levi Ashcroft coming in they also get back Colman!

The club needs to give an official apology to the one and only Katy Perry for flying half way around the world to witness that rubbish after doing her job properly like a professional.

I think it might have been that alleged $5 million she was paid.

Unlike the afl Swans worth every penny!

Don’t use all your material up on the same day. Save some for tomorrow.

Smacked their ruck around the ground and in hitouts and lost by 10 goals.
The ruck battle is largely insignificant compared to that of the midfield and off v def matchups.
