    Who's that in the background wearing red. Is that Dawson?

      Whoever decided that having one week off before the finals is the biggest idiot ever.
      My momentum is flagging.....
      I am right there with you Annie, only the reserves game to satisfy the appetite

        It looks like it might be Parker to me.

Sad thing down here is many Richmond and Geelong AFL members can't get a ticket in the AFL members. Something rotten going on down here. Yes, they have a lot of members but it appears "others" got preference. $600 membership for zilch. It is not a GF. Tickets immediately went on eBay and Ticketmaster resale at very inflated prices. Wrong.
          I wouldn't be surprised if next week's game sells out.

          Crowds for last two weeks > 38,000
          + it's a final
          + we're expected to win
          + last game against Essendon was a cracker, (as was 1996)
          - finals ticket prices
          = sellout. (capacity is only 46,000 at SCG)

          Having said that, stadium ticketing is so freaking complicated it's impossible to understand with so many earmarked allocations.

            Not sure it's Parker but pretty sure it's not Dawson either. I reckon it might be Cunningham.

                Actually, it's 48,000.

                  I think it's Fox. Just the hint of a pixelated moustache there.

                    And it may also be illegal under Victorian law.

                      It's illegal (ie ticked are being scalped) if the event is declared a "Major Event". Adelaide just have their finals declared major sporting events as tickets were being marked up 200-300% on eBay.

                        I think that the one behind Parker/Dawson/Cunningham is Joey.
                        Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

                          1996 - Last time swans played Essendon in finals - Lockett kicks the winning point and wins the Coleman that year
                          2017 - Swans play Essendon in final - Buddy wins Coleman and Plugger is back at club as goal kicking part time coach. Lets hope swans beat Essendon Go Swans

                            Last time Sydney plays Essendon in a final at home: Sydney win by 1 point with a kick after the siren.

                            Here's hoping we win by more this time. I want some junk time!

                                Just on the topic of finals. A couple of guys in the office reckon we crumble during finals? Is there any Truth to that statement??? 2014 GF was disgraceful, 2015 we could blame injuries, 2016, could have been umpired out, but it was a 50/50 call even if fair umpiring occurred. on GF day did not play nowhere near as good as the week before against Geelong. Maybe its a fair call?? What do others think?
