Game Day Round 24, 2025: West Coast vs Sydney

[shoutsatclouds]

It may have been missed by some of you Poindexters bed wetting over HR9, but our last game of this season is against the Swans, who cheated their way to a flag against us 20yrs ago.

Petty it may be, but that’s how we roll, and I feel it needs to be stated that we have not forgotten that SAMPI WAS HELD!

Feel free to create your own signs/banners and bring them along to the game - or not.

Open to suggestions about time of reveal…

Have at it, campaigners

We all saw it, unfortunitely the umps didnt

Or saw it and chose to ignore it

Can we make this the preview thread so I don't have to sift through a 15000 word essay about Cripps and youngsters from Sharps?

Tbf, Cox blatantly pushed Sydney's ruck in the back leading up to his mark beforehand.

Look, I can live with 2005 because of 2006.
If we didn't win in 2006, I'd have unresolved childhood trauma to this day.

Imagine being a Saints fan from 2009/2010

played on!

 

[Dazzler9]

Leo Barry played on!

Sampi was held.

Maynard was blocked / Sheed played on.

Let's just say the universe evened things out.

[sharps24]

Wel, we made it folks. Last game of the year, minor premiers vs dead last. 2 Senior coaching jobs up for grabs. No Harley. No Jake. McGovern ded. Sheed ded. Ryan gawn. Oscar.. in intense negotiations with neither us or Brisbane willing to budge. Rest assured though someone has to blink and he'll be on a list somewhere next year. Don Pyke poised to really lean in on Coxsy and Chad Warner

both, with rumours a former club great about to sign as football director. You didn't hear it from me [6PR?] but Peter Sumich rumoured to be looking to get back into football. It's all falling into place. Now if you will excuse me I have drawn a bath, brb to finish off.

Edit: Never mind I guess these match previews are more of a free for all than a volunteer and sign up kind of thing. Anyway I'm changing my prediction to WIN

 

[Kegs15]

This is really really really confusing but I quite enjoyed it.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Would love him back at the club. He just speaks so well

I remember in the last several minutes I could barely watch and was agonising pathetically in and out of the room. And this was in a Swans house, I doubt any Eagles fan would have been more Swans-enthused than I was then and yet it was traumatic (thankfully 2006).

most haunting moment to me?

that last score:
it nearly ricocheted off Nicoski’s leg
liked to imagine that if Phil Matera had’ve been out there and in the vicinity he would have pounced on that somehow

 

[shoutsatclouds]

The AFL certainly did everything possible to get 'The Bloods' through for the fairytale GF win...

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Seeing Swans players cry in 2006 felt good.

 

[KERRPOW]

Wce by 3 goals

 

[KERRPOW]

Pretty depressing that we likely would have had a winless season if it wasnt for the selwood tragedy.

 

[isthiswhereitype]

I would like a live performance of the Big Coast Energy ad from Yeo at three quarter time. He has to do it in the centre square and he's not allowed to leave until it's finished, even as the players and umpire are awkwardly standing around next to him waiting to do the bounce.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Get up, it's Greco day.

 

[Astro7]

Gee whizz, what another season to forget.
Maybe we'll get a final good performance today.
Curious to see how Grego fares at AFL level.
The coach must be relieved to finally arrive at this end point, one last presser!

 

[wce4premiership]

Excited for Tyrell Dewar to be playing.

Hopefully he can kick his first goal in the AFL again this week.
