My guess is that it's so it doesn't clash with the NRL semi on at the SFS (basically next door) this evening, but yeah it might be so they can get a flight home this evening rather than tomorrow.

The time was selected to allow the Pies to fly home and sleep in their own beds.
Long standard protocol to not disadvantage the prelim away team for next week's dance.

Of course it doesn't matter if the Pies do not win.

So Collingwood? Why does this have a sense of “the AFL wills it”?

 

[Festerz]

Go Sydney!

 

[TazD]

God, I hope the swans smash them.

You know you want it

Richmond literally lost to North Melbourne lol. There has never been a more overrated team in football history then 2022 Richmond.

Melbourne lost to the Crows in 2021.

 

[philreich]

And Collingwood lost to West Coast - that may be the biggest wtf of the season, as it's turned out.

And St. Kilda was the last team to beat Geelong.

The way Demetriou, McLachlan and the AFL stitched up Hird to make him take the fall for the drug saga makes me hope he gets the role as coach.

And that the press conference announcing Hird as coach is on the same day as McLachlan's farewell presser.

Stiched up Hird? He pushed for the whole doping programme in the first place. He believed the reason Essendon were losing to other clubs was because they had to be cheating, there's no way they were just better coached than his teams.

He just got a bit screwed over in that Robinson had moved onto going in deep with the mad scientist Dank, rather than the more considered programme's Bomber had Robinson running at Geelong pre-Dank.

Destroy them swanies

Awful kicking inside 50 by Sydney

 

[afl2004]

Up by 3 goals but have butchered the ball inside 50

 

[philreich]

Less than halfway through the first quarter, and the Swans have already kicked 3 more goals than their women's team.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Melbourne lost to the Crows in 2021.

The Crows in 2021 won more games than North have won the last two years combined.

 

[Festerz]

As expected, Swans playing the narrow SCG to perfection.

 

[240volt]

And St. Kilda was the last team to beat Geelong.

And Gold Coast beat Sydney

 

[raptalia]

Why the **** did we need a score review there? The ball was clearly over the line when kicked. Incompetent goal umpiring for sure.

Thus far Buddy's best looks behind him, he cannot hold a mark and is too slow.

Swans looking good though.

 

[afl2004]

What a gun

 

[afl2004]

50 at scg still 45m like the old days ??

 

[Schulzenfest]

Carn Swannies. Do this to the Cats next week too pls

 

[Byrons Firen]

* U Collingwood and * you Eddie McGuire woohoo go swannies

 

[raptalia]

And Gold Coast beat Sydney

So did we.

 

[philreich]

If Rex Hunt was commentating right now, I reckon he'd be singing, "It's over."

 

[Duckimus Prime]

I would love for Geelong to not win, but the other teams left just aren’t that good. Melb and Richmond needed to be there.

Sydney have a decent list but need Franklin to turn back the clock, otherwise it’ll be too easy for Geelongs defence.

Is that the same Sydney that beat Geelong by 5 goals this year?
