Heeney was a big contester man

Buddy injected himself into the contested to create lose balls. He was well wrapped up but he still got into the game late and he knew he had to do that. May was sick

Plus getting outmarked that completely which likely won't happen again

G'day from Sydney😊 Swannies was an outstanding team including to mention Haywood, Mills, Papley, Parker and Rowbottom They had a go to get goals in which was a surprising 22 points difference. It was a great game and fabulous efforts from both teams. This is what sheer athleticism shows what kind of calibre each player has leading up to the semi-finals.

@M you seem desperate mate. Keep your soccer, I would rather watch a game that requires skill, strength, endurance and courage.

I'm a swans fan and I can see a reason why they can't go all the way.... Geelong. Having said that, Melbourne were favourites going into this game, so you never know.

@M he's back

Let’s go bloods!

They lost some form in the 2nd but 2nd half fell apart

@@Toastroony Sad.

Sad when they lost it on purpose if ur a Melbourne fan u would know why they threw the game on purpose

When you insist on playing a spud like Ben Brown you get what you deserve. Zero pressure, zero presence, zero influence. In fact anything other than a lace out pass to him is a guaranteed turnover. It's like playing with 17 men.

Don’t need to speak for me or most other swans supporters thank you

Haven't watched much of Melbourne over the years then. Pretty much renowned for being deer in headlights. Look at all the Queen's Birthdays.

I’ve seen it. Every time they play Collingwood

2018 preliminary final ring any bells?

Not all people my friend 👍

Yeah it's funny that, if you look at pretty much all the metrics/premiership profiles over the last 6 weeks, the swans should be flag favourites/equal to the Cats.

Collingwood we’re almost unstoppable and then got defeated by Sydney but yeah Sydney swans are playing very good! ❤️🤍❤️🤍

@@MLG_boyYT Yes almost being the key word look at all the important stats Collingwood we’re just winning actually 67% of their games were teams not even in the top 8 also they had a couple of games where without sounding bias were handed to them by teams choking Sydney stats wise are in all areas that win finals and GF’S in the top 2 from contested possessions to goals scored from defence without turnovers tackle pressure defence pressure all right up there just behind Geelong in some stats they are actually in front of Geelong. Yes I agree no team is unstoppable but Sydney are a very tough opponent for anyone but certainly never unstoppable.

@@Robrulz666icloud I'm a swan's man, but the only thing that really worries me is the lack of big big game experience. That being said, in last night's game we were down in a lot of areas we usually are good at (contested marks, the precise kicking inside 50, forwards getting a lot of it), and we still won handily

YES IT IS MATE, YES IT IS

quality? the dees lost to Collingwood twice

@@datsunyellow2570 So what? just because the pies beat them twice does not say the whole story. They smashed the lions twice this season at the MCG and at the Gabba, smashed Freo in Perth (though they lost to freo badly at the MCG) and they beat the tigers. The demons may have not had the season that they would have liked but they are still a good side and I hope that they can go deep into September again. (Coming from a tiger fan)

@M Soccer is a European game. Of course it is going to be one of the most popular sports if most of the countries in the world were colonised and invaded by these Europeans. The cultures and sports of these nations were destroyed and millions of people were killed to make way for the European culture and it’s game, not such a “beautiful game” now isn’t it. Australian Football was a game originally invented by our First Nation’s people which was called “Marn Grook”. Eventually the game would be noticed by the Europeans settlers and it would be shaped into the beautiful game that it is today. If soccer was really that powerful as you thought it was, it would’ve already been the number one sport long ago in the 1800’s-1900’s. However the Australian people didn’t want to follow the European game of football, why would they want to if the Australian game of football was more exciting, action packed and not overly repetitive (unlike soccer). Soccer theoretically should have been number 1 long ago, besides the nation who invaded and colonised the Great Southern Land invented the bloody game. But the power of Australian Football withstood the European game due to the uniqueness of the sport and the excitement that it attracted from the Australian public. If you ask me, I find it pretty embarrassing that the nation who invented soccer couldn’t make the sport the number one game in it’s own colony! Fast forward to today, Australian Football is at the best it has been in its lifetime in terms of popularity across Australia. Did you know that 1 in every 23 Australians are a member of an AFL club? Meanwhile, the A-League gets less supporters to its games than the NRL and the national soccer team has only played in one World Cup Semi Final in it’s 100 history. Soccer may be the number 1 participated sport in Australia, however that is because the other sports that are available to play in Australia are more physical and demanding. Rugby is a very physical sport where only the strongest and better body types can play, Australian Football is not as physical but requires more stamina and skill which can be tough for new players who haven’t played the sport as a kid/teenager. I remember hearing that people thought that soccer was going to be the number one sport in the 80’s. That never happened. You’re claiming that soccer is going to be number one in 2050? Have a look at your sport’s history in Australia bud. The national team is an embarrassment, the A-League lacks fans, the sport is just too simple and boring compared to AFL. Don’t try persuade me that the Socceroos will do better in the future, they won’t. Academies and “professional” regional soccer clubs in Australia cost way too bloody much anyways. The talent pool is only limited to the rich. Most of the most famous soccer players came from slums, poor neighbourhoods or some average neighbourhood. The only players you see coming from rich households are the ones who are the sons of famous soccer players. Australia’s real soccer talent is being blocked from being allowed to show off their skills to the nation’s top teams and selectors because of their socioeconomic status. Why should people try to become soccer players if it’s too bloody expensive to even try to become one? It would be much cheaper to become an AFL player or an Olympian. Soccer doesn’t deserve to be Australia’s number one sport and it never will. Australian Football has a proud history in Australia that soccer can’t compare to. It’s a rich man’s sport in Australia and if you’re not willing to pay the big bucks just to have a shot, you’ll never make it anywhere in soccer in Australia. To answer your spam, soccer will never become number 1 in Australia. It simply doesn’t deserve to.

Mmm, yeah, looked forced to me. Snubbing an expression of sportsmanship at the beginning of any contest ought to always end in karma humiliation. Swans’ win has amplified that for Buddy - he had precious little to do with it. May can hold his head high. Good bloke. That kind of player is much more valuable than a 75m kick for goal.

@@jude3365 Geelong just did and I’m having a sook

Did you even watch the game? Or pay any attention to their form over the last 6 weeks? If you want to be real then feel free to zero in on Sydney’s missed opportunities as well - errors come from pressure, Sydney’s pressure was a level above and Melbourne couldn’t cope. To think the Dogs or Pies can still knock them off is laughable and not based in reality - just like the Pies fans blaming the Sydney loss on the game being at the SCG and it would be different at the MCG. Wake up and smell the roses, the Swans are the only serious team to challenge the Cats at the moment.

Your first point, I’d say “perceived pressure” or “residual pressure” played huge role in the game. Missing goals/passes are byproducts of that. Buddy is a spud most days and today he was pretty useless. Both those penalties were soft as shi - May was the better player and the better man by far! But swans could’ve also missed those goals. They didn’t. Crucial stat. By the third quarter, Melbourne gradually started to fade - there was no sting and they kept missing in front of goal. Kept goalless from there to the end. Melbourne lost for a reason. I don’t think they’ll meet Geelong again this year. In saying that, both brissy and dees have been patchy so it’s 50/50 really. Swans look pumped. They want that shi! Did you see the hype after the win?! [edit] and no team is ever a “lock”. “Upsets” are real, man.
