Dees looking like they've come back to the pack in the last couple of games.

Dees looking like they've come back to the pack in the last couple of games.

They have always had an issue with sides scoring a run of goals against them but have managed to cover that by being outstanding in other areas for longer than others . Even we kicked 4 in a row to get back in the game but could not go on with it.

 

[CBombers17]

Sydney work hard. Honest club.

It's the "longer than others" that brings them back now. It might be mid-season fatigue or loss of key personnel (May a big out). A game of inches.

True and you only have to be 5% off against most sides and you can be in trouble.

Really good quality game

No one has pulled Darce up on Reid yet. He's been calling him Ben all night...

Ben's had a good game according to Darce

 

[Squeaky]

He must read Bigfooty, just called him Sam.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Brilliant game of footy this is.

 

[sameolds33]

A pity about those last two frees to Sydney - would have been better to call play on. Swans defence impenetrable tonight.

 

[citizen-erased]

Sydney work hard. Honest club.

There is an envy i have of their culture, along with the cats.

A GF i'd love to see would be geel v swans at the G and away from their awful grounds.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Don't understand how a side like Melbourne keeps winning. They're honestly not that good. They skirmish, get crumbs their way, and bullock to the front. But any premier of the past would have put them away most of the time.

It's like there's some placebo effect where teams go in looking at them in a certain way and just give up.

Did not realize the GF was played yesterday.

Hawks a couple of very close goal calls on review.

 

[boncer34]

Hawthorn had half a dozen last chances according to the commentators.

 

[raskolnikov]

Gee Collingwood get the umpires on their side week after week.

 

[windyhill]

Gee Collingwood get the umpires on their side week after week.

Side by side.

Thought the opposite when I was watching. Hawks got a good run in Q2 and 3

 

[eth-dog]

This is a really good game of footy

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Yes very good footy from both teams. Low scoring but great to watch.

 

[eth-dog]

Hipwood looks ominous

Umpires say hold my beer....

 

[Zach Package]

Colyer’s running capacity has always been very good but I reckon he’s become an even better runner since he crossed over. Certainly a smarter runner with better craft.

 

[JayJ20]

Fremantle are the real deal. They've got that premiership feel about them that Melbourne last year and Richmond 2017 had about them.
