AFL Round 22: Greater Western Sydney v Sydney Saturday 4:35pm AEST @SS

[BFVirgin]

No rain. Massive fee kicks and Swans struggling to get 60 pts. They will go far.

So why didn't GWS kick bucket loads?

 

[BLUEBOYS FOREVER]

Swans 8-3 vs other top 9 sides. Just about the best record of anyone after Tigers.

Swans rely too much on Buddy. If they play tigers in a final at the G, they will lose by 10 goals.

 

[BFVirgin]

He was brilliant late in the game when he could find space. Still has the poise and the vision, has slowed a bit I think.

Respect for a GWS supporter - yes McVeigh has a great footy brain but slowing.

 

[RupieDupie]

I wouldn’t be too concerned with Giants injuries. By the first week of the finals, we’re getting nearly everyone who played in the last handful of games we’ve been winning (with the injuries from this game yet to determined).

The exception is Shaw, but it would be interesting to see if Willians gets a run next week, he’s what happens if you put the firing power of a howitzer into a gun. He’s an over engineered AFL player.

Bad luck GWS.

Kelly plays tonight and you win regardless of the umpiring.

If Hawthorn end up with 3 lame blokes with 45 minutes to go and a putrid 1-10 free kick run with the umpiring for an entire quarter, then the "underdogs" (LOL) will win that one too.

lol @ minnow fanboi with relevance deprivation.
Tell the other north fan we'll all be barracking for you in your grand final this week.

While our loyal sons are marching ONWARD TO VICTORY !!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Thrawn]

People keep on hyping GWS on the account of their draft picks and natural talent, but the problem is they don't have the mental edge to win the games that matter.

That's funny

Lol buddy kicks less than 2 he is paid too much

He kicks goals we rely on him too much

The truth can be funny at times, yes.

Pass the salt?


WHo will you support when north eventually fold

Must really suck to have to follow around and attempt to criticise other teams because you own team just can do anything in this comp

AFL is becoming unbearable. I really feel for GWS supporters after this. Umpires took control in the 3rd and gave the Swans the game. Umpiring has gotten to the point where Umpires can actually decide who wins a game, no longer on a free kick on the final siren, but from their actions halfway through a game.

A Collingwood fan getting narky about one-sided umpiring. Now there's the laugh I needed...

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

That's even funnier. Perhaps we should learn from the 14 clubs that have finished lower than us over the last 2 years?

 

[The King!]

Tell that to the 10,000 Swans fans that come to watch the Swans every time they play in Melbourne.

When we play north it’s like a swans home game in Melbourne

Is usually put a few coins in their tins just to keep the flicker alive for flogs like snake

Bit rich from a pies fan , don’t bite the hand that feeds you, constantly

It’s not too bad, sure GWS won’t finish top 4, but if Giants got flogged tonight, like they were earlier in the season, and you look at how they were being beaten and cannot see a way forward, that’s bad. It’s season over.

But when you rewind tonight’s game and see how the Swans were getting their goals in that first half (when by umpiring* and players we actually had a game of AFL on our hands) you know that the Giants can tighten up here and there and actually play better football than they did in the first half.

*even in the first half Swans had a few goal assists by the whistle

 

[gordo2016]

The joke of a club that's 13 goals better than yours?

13 goals better? Were any of those goals better than this one? And Macrae goes bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The King!]

Sydney won a free kick count and some people’s heads explode

Nervous I guess

Furthermore, people on here know me by now, I’m one of few people to get bant by other supporters of my club. When GWS play s**t, I’m the first on here to let them know, and I do not make any excuses for them.

But this isn’t one of those occasions. Very proud of the boys tonight and they can take a lot from this game, very ashamed at the AFL umpiring association though - they need to hang their heads in shame - they really let their colours and integrity down.

Actually the way our forwards shared them around to give everyone a go, they all were.

Free kick counts are always good when they go your way right?

The AFL umpiring association has a responsibility, they are responsible for having integrity in the only source of truth in the Universe. AFL. When you look at other sports (and society in general) and they’re all corrupt or ruined by player salaries exceeding common sense. But not the AFL. The AFL is closest thing humans will ever get to witnessing utopia.

I have hung up a picture of tonight’s umpires on my wall so I can turn my back on them in disgrace. Very poor performance.

Bulldogs supporters should gave a special 2016 board all to themselves, as an option for those that don't want to discuss the current year.

You should talk about the bulldogs in a relevant thread.

Now the adrenalin's drained.

Well done to the Swans, too good in the day. I got it badly wrong in my prediction.

Congrats on locking in finals and good luck in September. Unless we match up of course
