Congrats on your win ladies and gents. You were the much better team and I have tipped you guys to make the GF this year.
Just thought I would provide some interesting stats in regards to the gaping experience gap between the 2 teams.

GWS
Total game today 2139
93 games avg
16 under 100 games
9 under 50 games

Sydney
Total games today 2729
118 games avg
11 under 100 games
2 under 50 games

You guys are in the window and it truly showed today!
Again congrats on the big win
 
I'm one of Papley's harshest critics...but he stepped up in the second half today.

And after Chad Warner's goal, doing this to Sam Taylor who is out of shot was the cherry on top of a smug day of football. :cool:

I hope GWS don't learn, because it's genuinely great to see them talk the talk and then fail to back it up again.

Should the Kirk Medal (not that i give a s**t about best on medals regular season) be renamed to add a GWS influence as well , like the Kirk- Folau Medal or whatever
Haha!

Wasn't it named after Kirk because he was at the plastics for a while when they first set up, and so was really the only definitive link between the teams almost?

Could have called it the Sam Reid Medal I suppose :p
 
Great crowd today for an all Sydney clash. Marketing team no longer need a star forward to draw a crowd. Helps that local players like Heeney and Gulden star.

Something the Victorian clubs lose sight with the academies.
Terrific crowds last two home games.

35K against Gold Coast and 40K today - despite the presence of negligible opposition fans.

Really bummed we didn't make it up today - but the Mrs has felt a bit off the last couple of days, and we are off on holidays overseas on Wednesday, so didn't want to take any chances of getting crook. Not to worry - I'm sure we will play scintillating footy over the next three weeks while I'm out of the country and can't watch, and they'll save a shocker for my next home game (Cats after the bye) :cool:
 
I think Francis needs to come in next week for McCartin.

Yes we could have Blakey do the role but I don't want to lose Blakey's run and carry. Francis will help keep the team balance.
From what I've seen in this reserves game so far, I think I'd prefer Fox to start and find someone else for the sub role - he has done some good things, but had some pretty iffy moments too. Edwards continues to impress me, but still feels very raw.
 
Thats good and all but McCartin will be a huge loss and hurts us for weeks while Brown gets a nice rest and GWS will hardly miss him.

I saw a post recently suggesting a fairer situation would be normal suspension + next game the teams played. Worth a thought I reckon. You could be getting yourself suspended for a final in week 3 or 4. Certainly puts the onus back on the players

Fox is good, definitely happy with having him in the best 22 but he really isn't a replacement for McCartin. Francis can be, albeit not quite as good.

Toby Greene - zero influence - a few HTBs not paid on him as well. Great team effort.

He is not a like for like replacement, that's for sure. But I'd feel more confident with Fox in the defensive mix and someone else coming in to the 22, then I would feel picking Francis on current form. An interesting conundrum for the selectors coming up next week.
 
Teams are definitely coming in hot and heavy against us.

That could be because they're threatened by us and want to try and make a statement, or because they think our hardness is a potential weak spot and they think they can exploit it.

Either way it's good to see we're overcoming it week on week. Would have to give the boys some confidence knowing they're withstanding a barrage of physicality coming their way.

they've all caught the essendon edge

Over the off-season as we were linked to Naughton, Ugle-Hagan, De Koning etc., kept reading about how the Swans need a marquee forward in the NSW market. I went to my one and only SCG game last year and I heard more hype for Heeney & Gulden than Nat Fyfe ever got at a Freo home game during his peak. They're legit hits.

Only Naughton was a legit offer confirmed by Beatson the rest is just BS.
 
Just got home from the ground. I thought Warner was BOG. McInerney was outstanding. Heeney tough but classy throughout. Grundy tenacious against a pretty impressive, at times, Briggs. Gulden was poor IMO compared to his lofty standards.
