Just like when the Giants played the dogs at Giants stadium lol.
My point simply is they can’t justify denying Geelong’s request if they allow this.

Depends how early you're getting into Sydney but pub transport is included in the ticket. Circular Quay/ King Street wharf have nice breakky/bar areas and there's light rail close by to take you directly to the SCG from both locations.

It's all about the money with the AFL. The cost of using ANZ obviously outweighs the revenue the extra fans bring in. I'm making assumptions, but the one thing we all know is the AFL doesn't give a s**t about the fans, only the money. If you think they are doing this to help out Sydney you are delusional. It's just luck that we get it at the SCG.

Thanks Nuggetz!
I wouldn’t say that it has been used time and time again for finals.
I think it’s more how they are trying to get the Swans to be an eastern Sydney team so they can develop the giants out west. Last thing they want is the Swans playing big finals and potentially winning a GF birth out in West Sydney

But we know that we are holding the royal flush, anything you have is a bluff

Also, weren’t there bits of metal poking out of the turf last time we played there, and all of Big Footy was alight with fans saying “how could the AFL book games at such a substandard venue?”

Not spinning it at all, just think Freo were very poor rather than Pies very good. As the Freo players and coach said, they didn't handle the occasion at all, their pressure was non-existent and their foot skills awful. Well done on winning, but surely you can't argue that your performance was equal to your game against the Cats?
R22.
1/4 time Swans up by 13 points.
Half time by 15 points.
3/4 time by 23 points.
Full time by 27 points.
Pies lost every quarter.
Even the last quarter where the Pies staged a come back.

Yeah we were lucky against Freo, I have no idea how they made top 8 on their performance, the Geelong game, Geelong were as poor as they have been for a long time and we couldn't beat them, on the other hand Sydney were just awesome against Melbourne, who showed they were in top form by getting close a week later against Brisbane.
So all in all, Sydney would need to choke big time to lose this, it's about unlosable as it gets.
Making sure Giovanni doesn’t step up with 3 or more goals is crucial. I’m more concerned about him than DeGowy.
Buddy played ok last game, 3 goals and could have kicked more but I’d like him leading More away from the goals and opening up space for Heeney and Papley.
In the end both teams like high pressure and both teams have a handful of extremely dangerous players. Letting the Daikos bros. run amok would also be fraught with danger.
I’ll back my own team of course but I’m doing so cautiously. MacRay seems to know how to instill a lot of confidence in his players and they’ll be ready to go.

Strange response, I was actually praising you against the Cats.
Agree PieLebo87 with how Collingwood go about their business, so team oriented in everything they do... this will be a great test for them to see if this highly impressive mantra can be good enough to beat a 'very talented' but also 'young' Swans outfit (so much to like about the Swans long-term), either way it should be a ripping game with both teams high class when it comes to applying immense pressure over sustained periods of a game.

Hahaha, do you think I really care what you think, do you think you are some kind of expert or something?
All I know is we have to be on to win, but I am very confident that we are slowly getting the game we want to play, I am confident we will be better again this week.
Against Geelong, I didn't think we would win, against Freo, I was confident we would win, this game i'm confident we will win, that's about the best I can give you.
So whatever you think about games gone by, I really don't care.

No I just think this is a discussion thread and I was discussing the game. If you don't care for discussion you have no need to read the thread. If you don't agree with my opinion that's also fine, but conflating my words then ranting about not caring what I think is rather strange behaviour. We're all nervous/excited for the game but some decorum goes a long way.

Nothing that their own staff didn't say, but I can call them up and say sorry if you want.
I really can't stand that Ginnivan bloke
He spends the first half of the year ducking for frees dropping the knees and prancing around like he is the king and better than anyone else.
Telling the media he doesn't care about what people think of it or him and talks himself up blah blah
Some heat goes on him and he uses the 'it hurts' when people are shaming me.
His immaturity and poor behaviour has come back to bite him and he becomes a flake. He whines about being being booed and called out by Danger.
You then get people defending him because he his young and he should be looked after by the umps and everyone. Poor boy this and that. Cry the bloke a river.
He is an adult. A young one with a lot to learn.
The man bought all this attention on himself, he LOVED it when it was working for him and now doesn't like it because he gets called out for it.
He's the boy who cried wolf.
He can't have it both ways. He made a perception of himself and has to live with it.
He needs to grow up
