Match Thread. Grand Final!!! Swans v Lions.

[Blue Sun]

Anyone else scarred by 2014, 2016 and 2022? I’m starting to think we just can’t win Grand Finals.

Apologies! I’m incredibly nervous.

Nice shot by Rowbottom.

[Daisi]

Great goal Rowie

[Daisi]

Back line looking a little disorganized - but an unusually good start for us

[MattW]

Forward entries need improvement

[dejavoodoo44]

8 points behind at quarter time is probably fair enough. Brisbane have moved the ball a bit more cohesively, while our forward 50 entries have generally been scrappy. Although, I tend to think that momentum will swing our way at some stage and we'll start to punish them. Also need to cut down their uncontested marks. Rowbottom probably our best so far.

It’s always Rowbottom. My favourite.

Brisbane playing well - looks a bit dire for us. We needed that 50

[dejavoodoo44]

Handy 50. Makes up for the missed push in the back.

[Daisi]

We are plying terribly - we can’t win in the air - we need to run it

[Blue Sun]

We’re going to lose another Grand Final, aren’t we?

Why even bother.

[redstarforever]

they're grabbing every ball

[Maltopia]

Why are we getting so outplayed?

2014, 2016 and 2022, don’t think I have the stomach to watch four GF losses in a row.

Of course I hope we can come back, but it just adds so much stress.

[dejavoodoo44]

We need to lift very quickly.

[Daisi]

It’s very hard to win a grand final from behind comprehensively outcoached and outplayed at the moment - so disappointing- this is really disgusting
