Swans make a statement as Giants face stretch without Green, Brown
The Swans seized local bragging rights in front of a near-record crowd at the SCG, while the Giants are set to lose one of their stars to injury and another to suspension.
Swans cruise to wet weather derby win over Giants
Sydney have handed cross-city rivals Greater Western Sydney a 29-point defeat to consolidate their spot as the harbour city's No.1 team.
Paywalled:
Want to put the brakes on the run from the GWS defence? Then stop Lachie Whitfield!
Whilst I may have got the player wrong in the preview, it was clear that great minds think alike, with John Longmire deploying James Jordon to stifle the creativity of Whitfield as a defensive half-forward.

You don't think the conditions made it tough for their forwards? Yeah mine is the strange take.

Swans’ burning question: How good do they look in their first real test in ages?
The dirty little secret of Sydney’s 6-1 start is they haven’t played anybody since mid-March.
Soooooo, have we dispelled that "dirty little secret"?
I mean, we've beaten four of the other current top eight sides and by my reckoning we are the only team to have done that, so I wonder whoever the moron was that wrote that will change their tune.

Referring to the Anzac bridge as the East-West divide is nonsense. I lived on the Balmain peninsula for many years. It's wall to wall Swans supporters. Swans just announced a sponsorship deal with White Bay Brewery on the Balmain Peninsula.
The only Giants fans near Balmain were a few poor bastards stuck in traffic on the Iron Cove Bridge, listening to the derby on the radio and dying in sympathy with their team as they sucked fumes and turned blue from carbon-monoxide.
On the bright side, it's a shorter drive home when the game ends and the kids can enjoy feeding any non-breathing family members to the bull sharks.
Perhaps the Iron Cove bridge could be painted half blood red and half puke orange for the Derby.

Tomorrow the academy articles will start.
I’m unsure if you were at the game but the conditions were not as bad as you would think. It pissed down in the second but was pretty dry after that.
Regardless, losing Tom McCartin was covered more easily against GWS than and their forwards than other teams as Rampe, Melican, Blakey, and Fox still match up ok against Brown, Hogan, and Riccardi. GWS losing Tom Green is possibly a bigger loss but doesn’t account for the dominance we had.

If we win it's down to some failure in our opponent, the ground, the weather, the system, the fixture, the academy, Buddy's long contract, the umpiring, Horse's North Melbourne roots or the other team just not showing up.
If we win or lose we are pretenders and a dozen commentators are going to tell us our game is broken and can never be fixed

I said it in a group chat, I'm ignoring the media now. The only article I will read this year is the review on our glorious win on the last Saturday in September

Technically on the scoreboard we might have beaten Collingood, but they 'just didn't look right', Melbourne well that was 'a weirdly slippery night', Essendon never make finals so you can't count them and we only beat GWS because Tom Green went down.
So by my calculations on the moral victory ladder we are ~ 12th.
David King; 'Question needs to be asked is Horse safe?'.
When giving his top four seedings for the week on Whately's Monday morning SEN show, he also said that his top three were a long way ahead of the rest and weren't going to change for a long time, regardless of what happened in ensuing weeks. I wonder if a week is a long time in footy.

I still have doubts about if Sydney can get the job done in good weather on the MCG, on a Friday night, if it's a full moon, and it's winter and they haven't gone for a swim at the beach that morning. That's a concern for me. I think that if they can't do that then their game won't hold up in September.
