Match Day Thread Rnd 23. Sydney

That was a nice finish to the regular season, and well done to Buddy for beating Carlton by himself

Gee Parker has found some superb form - playing really well. Need him to continue that deep into the finals.

It was a slow burn in the first half, but by gee the second half made up for it. Good work Swans, and an amazing achievement just to get to the finals from 0-6.

Yes, Luke has been in beast mode for probably the last couple of months, and if it wasn't for the Buddy show, he would've got my three votes. Thought Sinclair was also really good tonight, how he came back after injury, gave his all and nullified Kreuzer's influence. Depending on how bad Tippett's injury is, it will be interesting which of our three ruckmen get picked. But I would possibly have Sinclair in front of Tippett now.
Also thought that Rohan was spectacularly good at times tonight; while our defence all had good games, especially Mills.
But hey, Buddy! First Swan to kick ten this century.

Wow, what a second half! Another big crowd as well, 39000.

Add Hanners and Papley, maybe Naismith? Hayward is gone, good season from an 18yo but now gone. One of Towers or Cunningham also makes way. Are we going to continue with the two ruckman? Lot's of questions ahead of our first final.

Personally I'd go with Hayward and Cunningham out and probably Naismith for Tippett. Towers gets a reprieve after his brilliance in the ruck, I semi believe he'd be a much better 2nd ruck than Sinclair or even Tippett

Yes, I did think that we missed Papley's drive in the first half. He probably now is one of the best small forwards in the game.

The injuries to Tippett and Sinclair upset the team balance and gave Carlton a bit of a chance.

+1

And we can use the extra ruck spot to bring in Aliir. Maybe Naismith will have a super game in the reserves next week and come in as 1st ruckman.

Give it up already.. Allir is not going to play in the finals bar lots of injuries..

Going to be tough at the selection table in two weeks.

Absolutely did - Kreuzer made hay all night long, but in particular during that second term. He is finally justifying the No 1 pick (almost). Once we got the balance back, we got a good head of steam up.

[Untamed Snark]

He won't be playing finals football
Will I mean

Will or won't??

Will certainly will.

Well that was an amazing win by a great side against an ordinary one. I'm not sure if it is any indication of where we are at.

Buddy was unbelievable and worth the price of membership...He is also bringing people to the game. Lots of newbies there tonight.

The goal that was reviewed was quite clearly a goal. I was in the Trumper right behind it.

Razor Ray is an annoying git, who picks up the most trivial frees and destroys games. I hope he doesn't umpire finals.
I'm thinking next year is our year. But if I'm a year late, I'm not going to complain.

A great night at the SCG tonight, classic last game of the year, great crowd, good result and Buddy..

You're looking too far ahead! I believe that if we keep bringing this mix of ferocity with footy smarts we can beat anyone, anywhere at anytime this year. Cheers cheer!

Geez Gold Coast are a rabble. The Queensland sides both need some serious help. Looks like we will sit below Port no matter what Richmond does tomorrow.
