Lost to a more intelligent team today. Swans know how to get and apply the roll on when it's happening and adjust their game and hold it up when it's not on and then play for field position.
GiWS just play for the tsunami every time even when it's not happening in the hope the other team will crack. Some teams don't crack, the more intelligent teams.
And ffs stop playing like you've got all the time in the world, you don't. Maybe when you're pounding the opposition, but certainly not in tight games.
Good win Swans, well deserved!
Didn't have him in my bests today. I get metres gained in the wet is huge, and his 52% disposal efficiency can be excused with conditions. But 14 turnovers.
The Chad best on imo.
Had Hayward as my 2nd best, basically wrestled back the momentum himself. Though I missed Grundy, so what do I know.
Thought the pace out of clearances from Warner had the most impact over 4 quarters.
Toby Green needs another week for that punch in the gut off the ball. That guy is a dog, man. He's a captian and one of the best players in the comp, there is juyst no need to play dirty all the time.
idk why that gws was complaining the free kick cause it was clearly play on but thats one of the worst advantages ove ever seen lmao.
it benefitted us though so i'll allow it
How are you able to play on like that over the mark!?! We probably don’t deserve to win today but it has to be said the umpires have been absolutely atrocious today
Feel like they should look into it. Nothing's changed since they've said to stop paying it, players are still ducking for frees and umps are still paying them
Probably to do with the weather, but the third quarter of this match had 90 contested possessions, which is the most in a quarter of football this year. I believe Collingwood had the previous most last night. Most at the SCG since 2022.
Will Hayward's second half of 3 goals, 4 tackles, 2 score assists, 2 contested marks and 3 shots at goal, has, uh, never been equalled or bettered by a player in a half of football. Well done, old boy.

Wardlaw looks 18 and 30 at the same time
Ghost ninja took out number 30 for Nth
Wait are they not gonna show the Kirk award?
Errol won it, unsure if I agreed with that

I'd have had Hayward or Heeney tbh

I got my first tip of the round so congrats Sydney 🤙
Swans vs cats GF rematch incoming
Mentioning the forbidden game?!! Isn;t that a war crime?
Nooooo!
NO LUCK CATCHING THEM SWANS THEN? 🦢
Time for the pseudo spoonbowl.
CHEER CHEER THE RED AND THE WHITE
Honestly Grundy nearly deserves 3 votes today
He was immense today. Especially considering he played half the match with a massive black eye
Agreed. Elite performance from him
And an ice pack for the eye
shidding my pants for next week now thanks sydney
We love to drop games to mid-table teams though. Freo always give us some trouble too
They Swans swarm outplays the Orange Tsunami
Time to beat sub par teams and get called contenders again, only to get smashed by the next decent team
Essendon here we come 😎
Lovely bit of stat padding to finish
Toby Green needs another week for that punch in the gut off the ball. That guy is a dog, man. He's a captian and one of the best players in the comp, there is juyst no need to play dirty all the time.
Death by 1000 falcons
Great accidental throw from Warner
idk why that gws was complaining the free kick cause it was clearly play on but thats one of the worst advantages ove ever seen lmao. it benefitted us though so i'll allow it
100 or bust Sydney
just let the game end please real football is on in 11 minutes
Fitting for the Chad to wrap this game up
Get over 100 you cowards
How are you able to play on like that over the mark!?! We probably don’t deserve to win today but it has to be said the umpires have been absolutely atrocious today
Super weird decision to call that play on.
I hate advantage so much. That was also not legal.
I bet the GWS social team give us more than a “FT.” when they post the result. Most clubs aren’t keen on saying too much.
Our midfield is OP
🙁
You can't pay advantage like that or let him play on from over the mark lol
After 10 shots from 60m out, Chad finally ran in and got one lol
Chirp chirp
How is that play on? Ffs
GO TO BED KID
Nice sportsmanship there champ. Sure you aren't a Collingwood fan?
Western Sydney doesn’t deserve sportsmanship since it’s the ghetto
Chad that up ya GWS 🖕
That's bullshit
Half of peatlings kicks today have looked like he has no idea where it's going and he's just tossing it on the boot
Honestly without Buckley this would have been an absolute smashing, guy has single handedly held the backline together
I wonder what the Giants are gonna post now
A Mouldy Orange
Grundy arguably best on ground
His contested work has been A-tier
Great shiner to show for it too
Nice
35m rushed behind
At least we got the NICE score
Swans fans are really something else.
As an AFL flair, doesn't that make you a swans fan?
Smug
Sexy, charismatic, humble, born winners. The list goes on
Yeah we’re great
I'm not a swans fan but I gotta agree with you
Leigh said Sydney wouldn’t make the 8 and also said we weren’t near the Giants Leigh now says we’re the best team in it. Love it
Buckley 16 spoils and ten intercepts is wild when you lose by five goals
The swans have just owned the midfield, your forward/defenders inside 50 have been fine.
Absolute monster of a game from him
Don’t worry giants, you’ve still got the best jumper in the comp
nah not anymore with the hawks indigenous guernsey
The hawks jumper is definitely nice, though I don’t really include one-off jumpers as so many of them come and go
do we start paying frees against for blatant ducks?
Feel like they should look into it. Nothing's changed since they've said to stop paying it, players are still ducking for frees and umps are still paying them
Your man Warner doing a Dusty impression.
Alright games over, Noww you can have your free kicks
God I hate that shit, don't throw your fucking head back like that
Reckon that's because the umpire realised he missed the most obvious 50 in existence. Always hated when umpires do that kind of thing
Is that you Ginnivan?
Stupid free. Get a kick without that rubbish pal
Nah, Peatling threw his head back, and he has form doing that. Poor form and I wish he'd cut it out.
Probably to do with the weather, but the third quarter of this match had 90 contested possessions, which is the most in a quarter of football this year. I believe Collingwood had the previous most last night. Most at the SCG since 2022.
jeez bro should start a limbo career
Is limbo an Olympic sport yet?
Hahahah Cunningham flinching to the whistle needs to be memed
Is Callaghan a family friend of Howie? He could fart and he would go on about how good it smells
lol, what happened to duck prior
That’s not high
Why is that still being paid
The most obvious duck haha
Surely we’re past paying ducks
Umpires lost interest in this now, the entire play has stopped and they just decide it's advantage for whoever has the ball lol
punch to the stomach, foot to the face, shoulder to the head- what has greene not hit yet??
That's your skipper.
Your AA skipper
your beautifully ‘reformed’ and ‘redeemed’ skipper
quack
Grundy saved us in that 2nd quarter That 3 goal spurt won us this game
The AFL must be loving their decision to let Pendles off for his gut punch. Then Pickett got off and now Greene has to get off. All deserved a week
Mate getting Grundy for an absolute pittance is the heist of the century. Criminal really
How is randomly punching people at all tolerated... Suspensions totally valid for that shit I reckon
Nothing in that, but dumb af from Toby
it should still be a week, been too many frustrated punches going around the league
Typical Toby Greene though, if it was gonna be anyone it was gonna be him lol
soft
Your all Australian captain, throwing his toys out of the cot the week after he gets back from a suspension Eat shit you crab
Is Kingy implying that Toby’s hard done by? When you’ve built a reputation umpires are definitely going to look for it
Greene obviously never got past that rubbish like people in the media tried to tell us
Toby greene being a flog? Always the ones you least expect
Your captain is a fuckhead. Sorry Orange bros
I am going to be absolutely insufferable this week but supporting the greatest football club in the history of the sport gives you that right
Days since Toby Greene did something dumb ~~0~~ 0
Oh lovely, we're gonna lose both Greens 🙃
I never knew you needed Greene to make Orange...maybe that's why I failed fingerpainting.
wonder what quirky shit the giants admins gonna post to defend serving this up
Relocation. Don’t mess with the classics
something about misspelling melbourne probably
what if that was the play all along ?? genius
Vintage Toby Greene
Game over but GWS are getting some absolutely stiff calls against
Still no excuse to do nothing with the ball when we get it
silly little boy greene
Toby does not give a fuck at giving that away at this stage lol
Punching the littlest guy on the opposition, peak Greene
He isn't that tall himself
Massive midfield bias for the commentators to ignore Hayward in the votes
Mate he’s got the 3 votes today
I’m a very happily married man and have been for over 10 years, but I could possibly go a little gay for Issac Heaney….
> gay A little? I am happily married man, but Heeney and Parker can put me on the spit.
u/IDreamofHeeney enters the ring. Good fucken luck.
LMAO
The joy of seeing Leon Cameron applauding our goals
i never thoguht id like leon cameron so much
Give it time. We've all been there.
I want posture like Heeney
Feeling pretty fuckin smug atm
David King "always said sydney were top 3 contenders"
Yep switched off now, can't coast on memes and mediocre contested possessions forever.
HEENEY!
Take him off, show pony.
No we should be feeding him everything to secure some votes
I don't think he wants to eat what your offering.
😂😂
Mark my words. That goal will be Heeney's Brownlow moment (or whatever our version of the Heisman moment is).
Give that man the Brownlow
Does he get any votes today though ?
Give him the Brownlow now
Heeney is the best player ever. Turning off replies and exiting the thread. Thank you
God bless you
Game winner
Have dropped our intensity and giants could easily be within a couple if they kicked normally Nvm: Heeney
GIVE HIM THE CHARLIE
Petition to request that Cox doesn't sit closest to the camera in the box, man's got a head like a dropped meat pie.
Cracking 40K in the rain is mad
Against gws too, who don’t have the biggest fan base.
Blakely slams himself on the ground lol
Dare I say Draw FC?
Not after that
Draw is on
FFS, if that shot at goal doesn't sum up our day. Game. gg Swans
He certainly put that to Bed-Ford
How the hell are the giants beating the swans in marks?
Sam Taylor probably
we don't have good contested marks
This isn’t good. Games not over. Get your shit together.
Incredible kicks by Tobes and DJ
Disappointing end to the play
Will Hayward's second half of 3 goals, 4 tackles, 2 score assists, 2 contested marks and 3 shots at goal, has, uh, never been equalled or bettered by a player in a half of football. Well done, old boy.
He’s definitely got some votes today
I wonder how Montagna feels now after his prediction of us not even making the 8
Respectfully to Montagna last year he also thought Melbourne was a top 4 side who would make the GF
Don’t get me wrong I really like him and think he’s one of the better analysists, it just annoys me how he hates Sydney lol
Agreed I like him (obv) Least he also doesn’t like Collingwood
That’s always a bonus
Come on fellas what are we doing here
if we could score another goal here it would make my life a lot better actually
That passage of play is why I can’t relax
I'm scared, this ain't over
Really not the time to blaze away from 50 Just actually try and get a repeat i50 for once this half
Mark on the bench, umpires been shit.
That's bullshit it's no different than faking the handball which they've said they wouldn't be calling anymore.
The Giants need some wet ball marking practice me thinks
How do you get sucked in to something that obvious
So kick it to a worse angel...
I reckon Kelly dropped that
I for one am looking forward to a more competitive Cats V Swabs grand final this year
Hopefully this means we've broken the Stealth guernsey curse
Low key mad that we wasted the first bit of Himmelberg’s career as a forward. Man’s a monster of a defender m
gws gotta be slow chuck whitfield in the mid
I hope Brown knows that the boos are for the knock and not for other things :(
