Match thread: Swans v Port prelim.

For those who missed the commentary, McDonald in the rooms being assessed for ankle injury ;/

I do hope he's okay. He's been very good tonight.

We are up by 40 points at 3/4 time. The largest 3/4 time deficit that Port Adelaide has ever overcome was 28 points (versus Hawthorn in round 10 this year).

I do hope he's okay. He's been very good tonight.

McDonald is about to be subbed out.

Heeney BOG?

[dejavoodoo44]

McDonald is about to be subbed out.

Probably should be okay for next week though.

[MarshallG]

Alir is playing well.

My contribution to tonight's thread.

Probably should be okay for next week though.

According to Abbey Holmes he's just been "put on ice"......Swans playing it safe.

Frees now 26 - 24 our way.....when the umps realise their cause is futile, they revert to fairness.

[dejavoodoo44]

Well, that gives a warm inner glow.

Good to see some of the “lesser lights” have good games tonight - Ollie Florent , McInerney - as much as I hate to say it Amartey.

[imuninformedtwo]

SO FREAKING GOOD!

When the team's up by six goals late in the game there is no need to run up the score. We won by a good margin and that's good enough IMO.

Best bit - this season has a lot in common with 2012. 2012 preliminary final - first win in 12 games against Collingwood. 2024 preliminary final - first win in nine games against Port Adelaide.

Oops forgot Grundy. What a great pick up he has been this year.

[Thunder Shaker]

And yes, Amartey kicked the go-ahead goal two games in a row - the last score in the game against GWS, and the score that put us up by 2 goals to one in the first quarter, and we did not lose the lead after that.
