[LukeParkerno1]

1. Never been so proud to be at the MCG
2. Jones can't be dropped off that performance, was better than McVeigh has been all season.
3. Tippett was important the selectors made the right call!
4. Nervous and excited about the week!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hope Tippett can really step up next week

He was good tonight, was critical in the 1st quarter where we won the game.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Superb opening. Cats totally shell shocked from our pressure. Exactly what we needed to do. Not a single weak performance but how good were Smithy, Jones and Papley? Still buzzing. Big week for the Match Committee.

Franklin has moved into equal 7th spot on the all-time goals kicked in finals. One shy of Alastair Lynch. He needs 2 goals in the Grand Final and he will move into outright 5th.

1. Gordon Coventry - 111 goals
2. Jason Dunstall - 78 goals
3. Jack Titus - 74 goals
4. Leigh Matthews - 72 goals
5. Stephen Kernahan - 65 goals
6. Alastair Lynch - 65 goals
7. Lance Franklin - 64 goals (20 finals) 3.2
8. Doug Wade - 64 goals
9. Gary Ablett - 64 goals

If the Swans win the flag next week, I'm not sure if there's ever been a player in AFL/VFL history to win a Premiership and a Coleman medal at two different clubs. I hope the Swans do win next week by the way, Benny Mac deserves a Premiership.

48 goals for Buddy next week it is then...

[McRobie]

Absolutely pumped! Was at the game, cats fans very quiet! What's the news on Aliir and were ther any Mrp issues?

 

[base615]

How is Smith so low?

 

[bungwahl]

AFL now investigating how it can prevent Sydney from future drafting of apprentice plumbers

 

[CD__]

Really impressed with young Naismith, started slowly but worked his way into the game and ended up getting the better of Smith.

 

[Olian]

Need the extra day break looked tired at the end.

Rohan's recovery to play this week was fantastic hopefully Aliir has such powers.

Younger guys stood up with an even spread of contributions.

 

[CheapCharlie]

Tom Mitchell can't go....please don't go to Hawks.

Clarko was at the game to check him out...

Now top of their wants list

 

[CheapCharlie]

Best pressure performance by the Swans all year... That loss to GWS was EXACTLY what we needed.

Inside 50 count was Geelong 70-40...phenomonal that we could win by 40 points with that lopsided count

 

[The Gong]

That was beautiful. Totally buried them in the first and they were never in the hunt. Ferocious.

Injuries are concerning. Aliir, McVeigh and Mills all in doubt.

Unfortunate definitely but none would be in our top 10 players. We are in good shape.

Papley is the player we needed this year.

Gary awesome attack on the ball and player. Solid finals performance.

Jones best game yet?

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Big ups to Benny McGlynn!

Haha. Love the avatar. He can almost touch it.

 

[MF]

Gws will win tomorrow

Yep. I said straight after our loss to them that it was a grand final preview. Not overly confident against them though

Aliir is a big loss imo

 

[PhatBoy]

Lads.... amazing performance.


I'm absolutely gutted, I don't think anything went out way from the opening bounce, I think you guys had some luck etc but geez, nothing we could have done was going to beat you tonight.

I don't care what the Vic centric f***wits like to say about the swans. They are enormous and to continually come up the way they do and keep producing class players is a credit to them.

Very sad at seeing Boris in tears after the game but glad for people like Keiran Jack who's had his battles and a few other guys as well.

I'll stop short of saying I hope you win next week - my best mate goes for the dogs and I love the way the Giants play - but I know your team won't let you down.

 

[Sketi]

Aliir is a big loss imo

Yeah he has been pretty important, glad we still have Rampe and Grundy. Does anyone have any idea the nature of the injury?

Potential fairytale finish for Ted?

 

[Jack Lord]

Grand Finals. Gotta lose one to win one. Time to redeem 2014.
