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

[H2F]

Tide is turning ! But it may be a bridge too far.
And now the idea would be to get goals by not bombing too far.

Margin is to much this Cats side wont choke up a 6 goal lead.

There you go...you can't take an injured player into a GF.

Isaac is being held, as we would do in the same circumstances. I'm surprise to see it and not get pinged.

Its like we keep making the same mistakes from 2016

Amazing call Reid what a selfish campaigner rule yourself out you know ur body.

I feel for those that paid a huge amount to be there - although we looked better this quarter. We are a young team, this game will show who has the talent and fortitude to stand up under pressure . I’m on the one year early train BTW

Hopefully we can have a big second half .

[waswan]

6 goals. they kicking straight and getting all the bounces
Gonna take a heap but its doable

@@@@ Reid off

Sammy Reid playing is a big mistake. Cannot believe how easy we are being pushed aside. in contests. Going to the top of the square is not an option for Sydney. Wake up and kick to a one on one instead.

Hickey decides to play the worst game of his career on the biggest day as well.

This is a fast track and it suits Geelong. McInerney anyone....2 kicks and 2 handpasses. Papley on the ball made a difference. AFL app has 7 to 5 centre clearances in favour of the Cats. Whoever is doing that is on the piss. It's been the difference in at least 4 goals.

[Ludwig]

Geelong are just too good. They didn't win 15 straight for no reason.

I thought we needed to take the game on, play through the corridor, with a bit of chaos. But I don't think even this would have worked.

Maybe they'll tire out. But I doubt it.

[ugg]

Yes playing Reid is a mistake but he’s not really the reason we are losing. Midfield is getting belted

Should be the other way around.. we are talking about a side that has 13 players over 30yrs of age you kidding me?

[Blue Sun]

Two quick goals in the third and all of a sudden it’s a four goal game with a quarter and a half to play.

This team is special, they can do it.

[stevoswan]

Well, I've just returned from work where I was able to watch a bit of the game. Sure I'm not liking what I'm seeing but to read the negative crap so far on this thread is frankly, sickening.

I can understand the disappointment so far but some have completely given up on our team. Grow TF up (H2F, I'm looking at you)!

It's only half time, we halved that quarter....there's an hour of footy left. Get positive....I know our players will be....and they will improve further, I'm confident of that. This game is not over.

[crackedactor 01]

I really thought we would finish the stronger of the two teams in the second half. Maybe too far behind but I hope I am right.
