What are you on about? We couldn't look more ready to win the whole thing mate. Which team do you support?
 
I am STILL buzzing. I wish that GWS game was in front of a crowd like that. That stadium was rocking.
 
Every single player did their job, may and then some but just want to give a couple of shout outs:

Morris - Unbelievably, we have found our Johnathon Brown 2.0 - how well did he stand up under pressure - he loves the contest, has a lot of mongrel in him, never takes a backward step
Wilmott - That mark midway through the fourth just lifted everyone - his speed and eyes up play is freakish for his age
Fletcher - He isn't a big possession winner and honestly, with Marshall and LAshcroft coming, he's under pressure to keep his spot next year but man, he just kept bobbing up when the ball was needed to be won, so composed
Lohmann - This kid is built for the big game, he LOVES the big moments, just thrives under pressure - what a gem he has turned out to be, has a massive career in front of him but just so composed and works his butt off all game, every game
WAshcroft - With all the Daicos love in the VFL media, he really goes under the radar but the reality is, losing him and Payne cost us last year's flag, he is such a massive part of our midfield, he allows Neale and Dunkley to be freed up OR take over if they are locked up, gives us so much - we have them both this year
Answerth - He has made a huge difference to our defense because with him and Starc, we have two blokes who hit and stick - his disposal improvement is ridiculous and he makes more tackles than everyone, he is critically to our side and gets no credit for it...except from his coach who sees and appreciates
Ah Chee - Same as above, he has been HUGE this finals series, has stepped up about 5 levels and has unlocked Charlie - these two are completely in sync
Rayner - That second half last night will be the time we look back and say, yep he finally arrived and boy didn't he do so - he has been ridiculed so much in the VFL media but has been threatening this all year, for him to step up and seal it - just wow
Payne - He looked to be moving so much more freely and we as a side are so much better for it because he unlocks Andrews and we need that - that last ditch tackle, on one leg characterises this side, that kind of play by someone out on their feet both metaphorically and physically lifts the entire team

What a game, what a team. Whatever happens, happens but we are in the best position we have been for two decades to take this thing, self belief trumps everything and we have it in spades.

I thought Lester had a huge game in defence too. He’s getting better and better every season. Seems to be reading the plays really well
 
I must admit seeing as we're not in the finals this season and given how predictable the finals series is looking to be, I have an all time low interest in the NRL currently.

The AFL is undeniably a better product.

King in damage control asking Buckley basically to speak in his behalf.

All this backtracking and bending over from everyone at SEN to cover for Kingy when all he had to do was say “I got it wrong, my bad”.
 
All I can say is, if you give the Swans that big of a lead in this week coming, you wont be winning like you have the last two weeks. You will be losing by 60 if that's the case. They are a 4 quarter team.
It will be interesting to see what the crowd make up will be for the game this weekend seeing how both clubs are from league heartlands.

Sydney has had one of the worst first quarters of any team this year. They aren't a four quarter team, they are a fast finishing team. We will likely get a big lead, we need to not take our foot off the gas if we do. The exciting thing is, in the last two finals, we have shown we are pretty fast finishing too.

Our second quarters are the worry.
 
Sydney’s captain has been ruled out of the grand final.

Not surprising. They took a clearly injured player in to the GF in 2022 and it backfired spectacularly.

Also, has Sydney just been walking on the street all week? All their interviews have been people walking on a side walk.

Hopefully the swans training has been awful! It’s getting exciting now
