Match thread. THE GRAND FINAL!!! Swans v Cats.

[Wardy]

I’m considering the same thing. There are many spoilt brats on this site unfortunately.

Same here I’ve not been on here for a few months - I came back for a quick look, kind of sad that I did.

We will go again next year and be better for it , im not surprised

[Velour&Ruffles]

Perhaps we go with sir, so that goswannette doesn’t get confused

OK then. Well spoken Sir for your earlier post, the best on this entire thread. Thank you.

Yep bring on 2023 What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

I've been debating with myself whether it's better to lose like today or if it's better to lose a close one. I guess with a bigger margin there aren't any "what ifs". Either way it still hurts like hell.

A mess of our doing . Was totally avoidable . This isnt our premiership 22 and i said it all year

avoidable my arse. What would you have done differently? (Without mentioning a specific player)

[Agent 86]

For what it’s worth, my best mate is a Cats fan and even he just messaged me: “side property deals were the winners today”.

Hmm. Always a side thought… I did wonder how they could afford JC & how TH is supposedly paid a pittance. Stengle, however, was a masterstroke - what a player!!

We will never get to the bottom of the sal cap shenanigans down there.

Feel free to mute me, but this made me feel better https://twitter.com/AFL/status/15736...9BzvuuEQw&s=19

Fantastic!!!!! Congrats to Selwood for doing this. Appreciate that gesture

I went and had tea for a break from the pessimists and just came back.....to what? FFS....the negative 'toys out of the cot' delusion continues. Seriously, get a grip.

Let people vent

[Dow]

Tough game, we never showed up ! Hopefully we take a lot away from this and as Horse said nothing g today was indicative of how we have played all season. Let reflect, regroup and focus on next season

[Scottee]

Yep, the smashed midfield that got us into a GF. A few tweaks and natural growth may be all it takes to get them to an unsmashable level. Cool your jets....

It's not as if this hasn't been talked about all year on here.Its the number 1 problem.

I was down on the fence not far from where this incident happened. He kicked it. He kicked it effin 20 metres. I lost my mind at this point. Of course we would have lost anyway but the moment this happened I knew we were 100% screwed.

Me too.

Funny - I had the same reaction a little earlier I think where Parker got done for htb when he had actually pushed the ball out from under him and people were trying to pull it from the ground. Given that we could neither get it, nor use it it felt a bit much that we were penalised when we touched it

Yes , an utterly laughable decision.

Later it became clear that there a lot of late hits aimed at softening us up that we're not penalised. These would gave been payed every time during the year.

It doesn't explain the capitulation but if there is a confidence issue it can have a significant impact on the side.

Don't agree with those who say we won't recover from this.I have no doubt we will have a better side next year, which is more than I can say for Geelong, who are going to be moving into the geriatric category.I think they knew that this year was their only hope. Not so the Swans.

Despite all the doom and gloom, we finished better than 16 other teams this year.Much better than we had a fight to expect I think.

We only have to improve by 1 next year.

Go Bloods!
