Swans Saints Elimination Final - match day thread

[Rod_]

Well done Swans

[DeadlyAkkuret]

You just have to admire this side so much, even though we doubt them sometimes when they do such stupid things. I'm @@@@ing thrilled right now!

[Bas]

great to get finals footy into the kids, I'm happy to win a final this year, come to mlb and give 100% again next week and I will be happy. cant ask for any more.

+1. I was probably thinking the same thing as you were typing it. How valuable to get 2 possibly 3 finals in.

The game will be at the MCG I'm guessing but would prefer Etihad. How lucky are we that we don't have to travel to Perth.

Saying Goodes will break the record for being the fastest player to get to 300 games next week. Beats Riccuito who currently holds it. I think they said 12 years.

Adam so much better in front of the camera than the two 'pros'

Subi - beat Freo last year beat Eagles this year. Won 06 qualifying and should have won 05 qualifying. Also beat eagles in 08? With Jude kicking the sealer
MCG - one win one draw in the last fourteen starts including getting rolled by Richmond and Melbourne

no contest for me

[Swansinger]

...what did horse say at half time?.....

He just called and told me what he said .... "Lads , your delivery into the forward line has been great ....but did you know that Ben McEvoy is NOT playing for us ?"

[annew]

I actually wish west coast had beaten Collingwood cos I reckon we could beat them easier than Collingwood especially if Cox and Kerr were still injured that is of course if we get over Hawthorn.

[Bas]

Id like to know what he said at 3/4 time.

[giant]

Hopefully just cramp

Looked like cramp to me. But ROK holding his shoulder at one pt, Mummy came out of late contest sore and Rohan with sore knee. Let's hope all good.

I thought Jesse White played very well tonight, possibly his best game all season. He used his strength so much better and second efforts were great. It's taken a while to get the forward structure right, but it's worked a treat the last month or so. Reid and Spangher make such a difference to the team.

ROK was practically BOG and R. Shaw, T. Richards and N. Smith were all fantastic down back. All in all though, a great team effort.

[Bas]

I liked Jesse's hot potato routine where he stood and pushed the ball around under his feet.

Big Ted will be on next after the commercial.

[dendol]

and what a game by Nick Smith.

Very close to BOG. Milne has been on fire this year and kicked the first goal again.

[Bas]

Big Ted looks like the cat that swallowed the canary.

He said he was stuffed as he was only on the bench once all night.

Mentioned he re-signed for 2 years. Said he played most of the year at Full back and CHB.

They are saying that Franklin might play on Friday night but highly unlikely

[mcs]

As always so proud of the team and the fans especially the way we kicked again in the last quarter. We must play 4 quarters next. week and we are going to miss hanners but we are good enough to beat the hawks if we perform to the best of our ability. Very proud of our effort tonight, it is a pleasure to follow the mighty bloods! Cheer cheer!

Jordon Lewis has 50 carry over points so won't help his cause.

Bailey was cleared against any tears today but would not be good.
