Autopsy 1st Prelim Final: Sydney v North Melbourne

[Tedeski]

That forward line looks as scary as it looked on paper.

Mmmm. Be some seriously sleep deprived defenders this week. Stopping Tippett, buddy, Goodes and White. May not be possible. Every chance of being over matched.

????

 

[Tedeski]

Training run.
If Sydney don't win the GF from here it will be a choke on massive proportions. Looked like an under 12s game.

I would say if the Hawks lose to Port tomorrow THAT would be "a choke on massive proportions"!

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Luke Parker was picked with something like the 914th pick. Kennedy was not good enough for Hawthorn. Goodes himself was another low pick.

This club has done a lot of things very well over the last 15-20 years and only ridiculous trolls put their success down to 2 players possibly getting 9% more than they would have elsewhere. They have more of the ball than their opposition almost every week and yet they still manage more tackles almost every week. They're a fantastic club at every level and other clubs would be better off learning from them than sooking about them.

I find it very difficult to see anything other than a Sydney win next week, no matter who the opposition is.

I am framing this and putting it up on my wall. Thank you.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Words can't describe how much i want the swans to lose the GF.

That's for you and your therapist to work through.

 

[underthestars]

Could've been much worse, Sydney kicked 22 behinds.

No they didn't. How did they manage to 'kick' 8 or 9 rushed behinds?

 

[Hawkforce]

Hawthorn offered a 1 year deal and wouldn't guarantee Kennedy games. Sydney told Kennedy they wanted him as a starting mid and offered security of more years. Gee not hard to see that Hawks ballzed it up massively. Great job guys.

Gee, and Swans fans wonder why they've shot to the top of the most hated list...

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Well North were no match for us tonight, but they had a great season and their supporters can feel well proud of them.

 

[I am Jack]

No they didn't. How did they manage to 'kick' 8 or 9 rushed behinds?

Yeah, you are right, I probably could've worded that better.

I do envy the up and coming teams. I remember the feeling well of being ok with just making the finals, or losing a PF/semi

We're just that good

In response to awesome Hawks fans who claim we stole Kennedy right from out of their loving embrace with big dollars...

[swansdomination]

North scored 3-4 goals from free kicks tonight. Amazing how no one ia complaining about the umps...

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Two thirds of this putative Sydney/Kangas autopsy thread has been stupid toing and froing on hair-splitting details of JPK's move from Hawthorn to Sydney. Sheeesh.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Gee, and Swans fans wonder why they've shot to the top of the most hated list...

I thought we were at the top of the most hated list?

 

[Darcy 2 Fyfe]

I was a believer that Sydney needed help. Gee times have changed, bring back Sth Melbourne.

 

[TheKanga]

Well done Swans, simply to good.
Was a depressing night as i thought we would be competitive.
Still proud of the team for winning two finals.
Bring on 2015

You wait till Lance Franklin gets dragged into this

 

[AlibiMonday]

Kennedy was a required player, Sydney just outpriced Hawthorn, same old story..

Wrong! He was told he'd 4th in line to get a spot. He was guaranteed a start a Sydney and given a 3 year contract. He started Round 1 and didn't get dropped. Sydney believed in his potential, Hawthorn didn't.

 

[Ry009]

Had a chat with a few North fans earlier today who assured me their midfield wsd as good and as deep as ours

also said Rohan wasn't a B grader

wonder where they are now?

Semantics, but you used a panel show of 4 nuffies that were talking about midfield's that didn't include Wells at all and Rohan who's played predominantley off half back.


Happy for Rohan tho, from where he has come back from he's last few months have been increidble. Good kid who deserves all that comes his way.

On top of that great work by their mids tonight ran hard both ways and made ours invisible last night.

 

[Adam H]

Not guaranteeing Kennedy games and no security in a 1 year deal, maybe Hawks should have made Kennedy part of their plans...

They would you'd think if they had extra room hey?

Kennedy was a required player, Sydney just outpriced Hawthorn, same old story..

Rubbish.....but why let the truth get in the way of the same old story. He was told limited opportunity because Mitchell, Lewis, Sewell and Hodge were ahead of him. At the time it wasnt a foolish decision by the Hawks. Just come off a premiership with a great age list profile. 4 very good hard/inside players ahead of Kennedy. Not unlike the dilemma we have with Tom Mitchell right now.

welcome to the mainboard, Did you know the Swans faked the moon landing.

The proof as they say, is in the pudding. That was but one example, and despite potentially arguing their ABC gradings, they also left out players we regularly rotate through the midfield as well. Plus that Mithcell kid that can't crack a game in the Seniors.

There were other debatable calls like one of your fellow fans who labelled our defence as "vulnerable" as well.

The difference in the midfields is correctly put, ours work herder both ways and FWIW can impact the scoreboard better.
Good year for you guys but with Harvey, Wells and Petrie not getting any younger you've got a few things to address to get back there next year.
