Bloods culture died after 2012 with the recruitment of Tippett and Franklin and that was clear for everyone to see during the 2014 Grand Final. The Swans have underachieved with their list from 2013-now.

JPK remains an embodiment of that culture. One of the few left at the club which is now more about "Bondi culture".

Absolute champion of the game.
BUMP

Post still stands despite the protesting Swans supporters in this thread.

Disappointed with Buddy today.

But was anyone surprised with Tippett's game?
Other than the 1st quarter miss and the last quarter running-through-tackles, not much more Buddy could do today I thought. 3-on-1 at every stage, when leading he had it bounce in front of him anyway because of shit kicking, his teammates kept giving it to him when he had a head of steam up and he couldn't offload it quickly, so he would eventually get tackled. Had 2 or 3 big moments in the last (kicked a big goal, got a big clearance to set up what was eventually a disappointing miss I think) which had more Swans lifted could have had been a different story, chased and tackled more than a KF does.

Really only 2 mistakes from Buddy in a day where team defence won over individual forward brilliance. Should hold his head high.

Would be behind only Kennedy and Mitchell and the defensive trio of Rampe, Grundy and Smith for me as Swans today.

The threshold for "legendary" seems a bit low tbh.

How many Norm Smiths has he won?
Clearly best on ground today. Not his fault Brad Johnson, Emma Quayle and Crazy Vossy couldn't recognise that and robbed him of a Norm Smith.

Best grand final performance since Lenny Hayes.

Clearly not best on ground today, but even with a NS I don't think Kennedy's performances are the stuff of legends.

Why did the Hawks let him go or did he want out?
He wanted out. Sydney gave him a great deal a role he wanted to play and an extra year on his contract. Internally we rated him but he wasnt going to take over from Mitchell/Lewis for a little while.
