Rd 22 Sydney v Richmond SCG Sat 27 August

What a bench with 4 minutes to go, Franklin, Tippett, Rohan and Heeney. Can we get Parker, Hanners and Kennedy off too? We don't mind playing with 3 short!

Is Houli on field? If not, Naismith could be in trouble.

Handball of the season by AA great vision

Until that handball from Heeney for that KJ goal...

What a game! Can't remember a game like it, but is anyone else nervous about winning the minor premiership? The swans play best as underdogs. In any case, great time to start playing top tier footy, we're looking good!

Could not have hoped for a more comprehensive way to go into the finals - brutally efficient going forward and we had it easy with how soft richmond were.

All i can say is bring on September - we are every chance and that in itself is a wonderful achievement given where a lot of us thought we might be at the start of the season.

Cheer cheer the red and the white!!!

Bring it on i say - this team is playing without fear and with a lot of confidence!

Congratulations Sydney, minor premiers. Especially sweet considering some of the so called experts had us not making finals at all.

Without seeing a replay, I don't think that Naismith will be in trouble. While he did drive Houli backwards, he didn't seem to drive or sling him into the ground. Houli hitting the ground hard, was due to initial momentum and Naismith letting go halfway through the tackle. Also, the time that Houli spent on the bench, was due to a shoulder injury that he picked up earlier in the game.

Really really hope we don't play GWS. One of gws or hawks has to lose now

Yes, I think that my preferred qualifying final opponent, is now the mustard on turd. Hopefully we can drive a stake through their evil heart.

I only saw the last quarter and we were crap.
Glad we were already a gazillion points up,

#1 locked up.

Amen.

I dont think there is a scenario now that we would play hawks 1st week. Has to be either GWS (if gws and hawks both win), Adelaide (if one of hawks or gws lose) or West Coast (if both gws and hawks lose).

Gee. So much for the last 3 danger games. I don't like it. Too easy

Don't think I've been to a game like that since Geelong 2014. Tigers just looked like they wanted the ground to open and swallow them up.

Oh dear this is a concern.
Reports: Sam Naismith (Sydney Swans) reported for rough conduct on Bachar Houli (Richmond)"

It was a WWE style body slam. I think Houli was okay so hopefully that's enough to exonerate Naismith or at worst be limited to a fine.
