A nail biter at the Adelaide Oval, ebb and flow and lo behold the swans had their nose in front at the end, fighting spirit personified.

Buddy. Goal of the year.

Over his dribble goal

Over his 69.4 M shot from inside the centre square

Hahaha. Did you notice that he ran 80 metres and bounced it twice? He received the ball on the half back flank and kicked from about 40 metres out. Not mentioned once on the tele, in the papers or on the radio. Must be nice to be Buddy.

Meanwhile in Ballarat the snows just stopped and hopefully will have melted by the time the ball is bounced this arvo. Wonder who the brain surgeon was who thought footy in Ballarat in the middle of winter was a good idea.

Carn the scray.

He had 2 bounces and a fumble which hit the ground which gave him another 10 ish metres.

Ballarat. We had to google it at the
Sports Bar to find out where it was.

Doggies to win . Peter Lalor best on ground.

Nice to see your optimism returning Wazza. My concern is Essendon, if we meet in the finals they will feel as though they owe us one. Also the bias of umpires against the swans. 28 free kicks to Crows - 14 free kicks to Swans. Wayne Carey who was commentating the game was quoted as saying that he didn't see any bias and as quick as a flash on twitter, someone responded that he wasn't surprised about Carey's lack of observation as he had previously not been able to see the wedding band on his teammate's wife's hand.

There were a few horror calls on Friday night and yes the Betts 50 m was one, but even I was confused on a few others.

Pluggers kick will always be an issue for Grevious , still sticks in his weekly lotto, with only 2 numbers, as Supplementaries are always a winner for the bombers

Im not sure what Horse has done , in the last half of 2017 , but seems to have worked obviously, BUT the glass is half full, but i think first finals round will see a few upsets first up. Swans included

Yes trekker god to see him back on the bar stool. He had the leatherman blade to his wrist a couple of months ago. :D

He has thrown a heap of maybes into the mix for the swanies to make a real go of it.........unfortunately the blues are out to spoil the Sydney party and go on their end of season trip to Colerain in a good mood.

I've already called my predictions some time ago with my dark horse of the bombers still stands but a non vic GF with west sydneee and Adelaide on the cards. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good luck to all those whom make it to the final 8. \:D/

Pretty sure I know who can't win it! I know at the start of this thread I tipped the Saints which also shows how much I know :D
Anyone but GWS is who I'll be barracking for when the fun starts, with a bit of a soft spot for the Dons, Tiges and Dees.
Will hopefully get to meet some of you guys at the sports bar first weekend of the final. I'll be the hansum man with Wazza.
Carn the Scray one last time as reigning premiers on Friday night \:D/ \:D/

Big win over the hapless blues, 10 not a bad haul, where has the game changed in scoring goals.
Not being a historian of any game it just seems that years ago the best kickers were landing 100 plus a season?
