If the saints had a forward line they'd be pretty good.

But No luck catching them swans, then?

JJ, Grundy & Errol all great again & love ya guts Gus! Buller making a good case for continued selection.

BC, please get some kicking lessons from your ol mate Errol this week !

Errol was poor, big turnover by foot in the middle led to a Saints goal. Not sure he should be giving lessons at the moment.

very worried about McCartin. Didn’t look to be the heaviest contact and he seemed like he was out cold midair

Thats ****ed actually reminded me of the very minimal contact that ended Paddy career

 

[tombomb]

Grundy is having an amazing season.

 

[Superstar swan]

Hayward was absolutely massive when it counted

The Campbell assist to Hayward was absolutely genius

 

[Slingshot Footy]

People called this months ago on here how do the coaches not see it?

Frankly, I think a number of us have been saying this for years. Tall defenders even more so.

Grundy is having an amazing season.

Another BOG today. His tap work to set up Gulden's last goal was mint as ****

 

[sherb]

I hate how much I love this football side

****ing hate the sport

Look on the bright side, things could always be worse.

Ie, you could be a Carlton supporter.

(I speak with the unique perspective of strongly supporting both clubs!).

That was ruck work at its most elite.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Is it just me or has he not been the same since he got COVID?

I think Jmac along with Roberts have been our biggest drop from 2024.

Jmac im hoping its related to his knee?? confidence lost in it

It's how he responds in the next couple of days has had delayed reactions before. He didn't look good coming off and even if he avoids the concussion could be a fracture.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Oof Tommy has a golfball on his cheek

**** seem to signal to Grundy it was a elbow/arm blow

 

[The King!]

We do need to start talking about your guy though. Admittedly he is my guy too.

Mills? yep i hate to say but Punts may be right even in the last the crowd knew mills had to go get the ball and he waits for it to dribble out and it wasn't going out and they got it

lots of lazy efforts it's one game but wow if that's his captaincy maybe focus on footy

 

[Crust]

What I don’t get is how an umpire 40m away can call a free kick when an umpire 2m away on the same angle calls play on.

Done some lovely work in the goal assist dept this year has young Campbell.

 

[Superstar swan]

pinched it, Buller needs to hit the weights. What is it with 4-5 year players still looking weak, NcDonald too.

Tbf from one of the posts from the club this week, Logan looks to have added a fair bit of size

What about the beard?

Did you misread my post. Thr whingeing was clearly heard calling for free kicks to go for St Kilda. It was also incredibly loud from our supporter base and much louder. I simply stated that when the St Kilda fans shouted for a non existent free kick which I'm guessing the Swans supporters were quieter at that point as they had no reason to be shouting the umpires seemed to hear then and react accordingly. Maybe read the post

That's why it was at best a neutral game for the Swans. I might even venture to believe it was like the North game earlier in the year where it was a home Melbourne game. So no, I didn't misread your post. I felt it was an incredibly low whingeing game compared to 99% of games.

This is ridiculous nonsense. Tom got smashed on the side of his face with a hit that drew blood. Paddy got tackled softly with no visible contact to the head and acted like he got shot. The incidents are absolutely nothing alike.

I only found out recently that he is the son of a bloke who played at my Aussie rules club in Sydney 30 odd years ago.

And I am purportedly our club's historian, somehow this one got past me................

His ruck craft this year is as good as I've seen. He is just lacing out our midfielders over and over again.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

So happy to see Buller and Gus do well. Both played excellent games and were involved in Campbell's run which lead to Wilbur's goal late in the 4th. I noticed Gus still putting in the big ones and was keeping stride with Campbell which is a very positive sign as he has struggled to run out games.

Buller looked very competitive and looks to be improving week on week. This game should give him plenty of confidence moving forward.

 

[TasSixer]

How did it take so long for Buller to get a chance when we were screaming for a key forward all season? He's shown a lot in his few games, he makes smart decisions in general play and shows good endeavor for a big man when it hits the ground.

This was a frustrating game but they scrapped over the line in the end, probably should have been a 2 to 3 goal win but the umps wanted it closer. Our slim finals chance hangs on but we can't keep getting out of jail for another 7 weeks. eventually it'll hit us.

 

[robbieando]

Personally being at the game, I felt it was more over umpired all day rather than biased in any teams direction. A lot of decisions made by the non-controlling umpire which showed umpires were in the wrong place all day.

Very frustrating stop start game that played into the Saints hands and forced us to dig deep in the last quarter especially. Hayward really stood up to win the game for us and Grundy and Gulden were important late.

 

[Bloods86]

Early call...

Out: McCartin Francis Roberts
In: Rampe Cleary Ladhams Bice (from sub)
Sub: McInerney

Roos have a fairly tall defence (4 talls today, so will play 3 at least), otherwise would have Dattoli instead of Ladhams.

If Rampe doesn't get up, I'd probably play Snell over Francis, but likely we'd just put Aaron back.
