Thanks Collingwood for the great season you gave us. Great game. Greetings from Rhodes Greece.

As a Sydney fan nothing but admiration for Collingwood. They'll be an even scarier team next year.

Bloody nerve wracking. I don't know if my heart can take much more of this.

Collingwood win the entertainers of the AFL world in 2022 . That Carlton game was the best home and away game as entertainment I've ever seen. 5 decades of AFL for me. 17th to 3rd was brilliant. It hurts you guys now but I have so much admiration for you club. And the Collingwood supporters where awesome even 15 minutes before the game started. They created the best atmosphere of the year. Sometimes I wish I was a Collingwood supporter. But I am a proud Tiger supporter.

That was a major comeback from Collingwood, but didn't finish the job, as Sydney held on by one point. What a phenomenal outcome by both teams!

Great game of football, epic finish, but ultimately the AFL has 2 best teams of the second half of the season meeting in the GF. Hopefully Sydney will take some lessons away about shutting the game down too early and throwing the game style that wins for them off balance. Reid is a huge loss.

No team deserved to lose last night given the fighting spirit and courage that both sides have produced. Full credit/admiration to both sides for a great season and unfortunately the pies fell on the very last hurdle and the swans were able to hold on even though the pies made a huge comeback in the 2nd half.

It was a close game in the end. Both teams deserved to win. Sydney had a better first half and Collingwood had a better second half. But in the end Sydney won, so gg. I’m a bit pissed that we lost by 1 point but I’m happy with what the boys have done in 1 year. From seventh to the prelim finals. GL Sydney, hoping you beat those cats!

Even though Collingwood lost its crazy that they came from 17th to 1 point away from the grand final 👏👏👏

The irony of Collingwoof winning multiple games by less than a goal only to be beaten by a point in the finals. Gotta love it

I hope Sam Reid can play in the final. He's had a terrific year and been important to them.

I was screaming like a nut during the final stages 😆😆😆 The way the ball stayed in Collingwood's 50 and kept edging towards the goal line 😩😩😩😩. Well done, Sydney. They were outstanding for the majority of the game. Errol Goulden was a gun in that 4th Quarter. It's great the final is gonna be between the two actual best sides in the comp. I hope Sam Reid can play.

Mills and Blakey's desperation at the end was amazing!!

LET’S GO BLOODS!! can’t believe we held on after collingwood had such a good second half. legit lost myself when the final siren went. BRING IT ON GEELONG!!

Tough loss. Reminds me of our 2019 prelim loss to GWS where we played shocking in the first half and managed to get the game back on our terms in the final qt but fell short. It was always going to be hard to come away with a win against a great opposition on their home turf in such a big final. I would like to stay confident and hope the pies can bounce back bigger and stronger next season, but something tells me that's not going to be the case especially with a loss like this, it's hard to take in. You have to play four quarters if your any chance of beating top teams and potentially going all the way to win the flag. I believe this was our real shot at winning the premiership. So dissapointing. I'm hoping for a close grand final on the weekend and no repeat of the shocker in 2019.

Unlike Brisbane, Collingwood refused to lay down. Have mixed feelings about Papley pushing Moore square in the back & not being penalized - it takes a substantial push to move a big bloke like Moore, & yet the umpire ignored it - I know it evens out during the course of the game, but that push happened at an important time Great win by Swanies regardless - hopefully they can recover fully from this thoughie & give Geelong a good match..

Still get chills from this game

Go Pies! Back next year & so proud as you were by far the most exciting team to watch this year.

Well played Collingwood for not giving up. Didn't expect them to win half the games they did win. Congratulations to the Swans.

Nothing better than seeing Collingwood loose by under a goal

One of best game games of 2022 season 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴

mate... i was spewin at the bloody tv. hahah gotta love footy. carn the bloods! lets win this thing!

One Thing Describes This Game: Spicy! 🔥

Great year by the Pies. Our Grand final came in round 23 when we Flogged the Blues !

Greatest game of football I've ever been to

On the edge of our seats since they new the whistle. Sydney was a class act first half. They absolutely dominated and it was frustrating to see Collingwood take so long to fire up. Suddenly in the second half Collingwood turned it around, and the pies came out for blood. The whole house was screaming those last 2mins, we couldn't believe how close it was. If there was 1 more minute on the board, Collingwood would have won. Congratulations to Sydney Swans, can't wait to watch the grand final. GOOOOOOOO SWANNIES!

I was drunk last night, but I had no alcohol because I was working. But tears from the pies are like tequila to me 😂. So after the siren with my euphoria I was chemically sober but emotionally drunk. I love seeing the pies out 😉❤️

As a Collingwood supporter , this one hurt a lot. It's easy to blame the umpires but ultimately the poor start cost us.

We don’t know how to give up… I’m beyond proud of our team this year. Even though we lost.

Oh my god...I am a Sydney fan and I had held my breath until the end. Collingwood made a valiant comeback but it was no match for the mighty bloods.

A short unbiased breakdown... in my humble opinion Sportsmanship: fairly even Ref: Definitely a few dubious calls against Collingwood Teamwork: Collingwood lacked consistency early but improved as the game progressed. Sydney’s teamwork was fairly consistent with a lapse in the second half. Overall: Sydney played a slightly better game and deserved the win.

Finally the footy gods dealt with Collingwood appropriately.

I hope there's a lot more scrutiny on the AFL and the rules. The umps varied take on the rule's which have been at times where it swings the game to much to the detriment of the game/players

Collingwood, you can like them or you can hate them, but for sure you have to respect them.

Such a shame the better team didn't win. Alot of happy cats supporters this morning.

Reckon the Cats will give that 119pts biggest winning grand final margin a scare next week.

Absolutely loved it Go the swans

Every close game this year when the winning margin was a goal or less would if you had the benefit of watching replays, have free kicks that could be doubtful or 50/50. Yesterday's game was no different and if a team coughs up 50 metre penalties, they only have themselves to blame,, Well done to Collingwood for their successes this year and the manner in which they have turned their Club around. Looking forward to a great Grand Final. A Crows supporter

Overall I’ve watched this games highlights 3 to 4 times, not because I’m a Sydney fan, just because I love a good game of football. Sydney are by far one of my favourite teams though, they have a beautiful history and I respect the coach’s and players a lot .

Literally , by the slimmest of margins... Can't wait for the Final

The presher when I watch the 4th qorta

I’m not going to get upset, the last time a team lost a prelim by a point was Essendon in 1999 when they lost the last quarter to Koutoufides, look what happened the following year

GO SWANS!🔴⚪️

Same margin as the Carlton Collingwood game

Up the swans

WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE!

LETS GOOOOOOO!

Go Sydney

2022 PREMIERS!

WE ARE THE BEST!!!!

Refs had a shocker

The umpiring was a joke

An simply incredible game. Full credit to Collingwood for having a huge season and coming back in the 4th quarter. I think Sydney deserved it a bit more since they finished higher but Collingwood put on a huge performance.

I wish the commentators would commentate not barrack

Great game, i was off my seat for the last 5 minutes. I wish that Sydney didn’t sit on the ball so much during final minutes and kept the game rolling, but I definitely understand why. It just isn’t how you play a final. Good luck Swans you’ll be testing Geelong for sure!

OKAY AFL, LISTEN HERE. HERE IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO. FIRST, YOU ARE GOING TO UNSUSPEND LADHAMS, THEN, YOU ARE GOING TO LET HIM PLAY IN THE GRAND FINAL NEXT WEEK. ARE WE CLEAR?

So proud of the pies. Sydney had the better 1st half but we had the belief to fight back and just couldn't quite get the result we wanted. The whole papley thing doesn't matter in the end because we wasted chances ourselves like darcy cameron and jamie elliott missing swt shots. GG swans and hope u beat the cats!!!!!!!

Good to see them earn 3 goals straight off free kicks nothings better than great umpiring

As a Carlton supporter this was a perfect result, Collingwood robbed a lot of teams this year with there amazing fourth quarters but in the end pulled up short thanks to Sydney.

And now we are down to the final two teams, Geelong and Sydney. Sydney were dominant for much of this match, leading by thirty-six points midway through the third quarter before a mighty comeback from Collingwood fell just barely short, making this one of the greatest Preliminary Finals of all time, if not THE greatest Preliminary Final of all time. Sydney are on very hot form, although not quite as Geelong are in terms of winning streaks, but thst doesn't mean that this won't be a cracker of a Grand Final, unless that's a blowout like the Geelong v Brisbane game. On their way to the big dance and during their eight-game winning streak, Sydney took down Fremantle at Optus Stadium back in Round 17, took down Collingwood twice at the Sydney Cricket Ground in both Round 22 and this Preliminary Final rematch and took down Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the Qualifying Final, just like they did back in Round 12. Sydney will be looking forward to this Grand Final, facing Geelong on the last Saturday in September for the first time. One more chapter remains in their story. Will it be a happy ending or a sad ending. Stay tuned for next week. Collingwood can hold their heads up high after the greatest turnaround in the history of Australian Rules football. From 17th last year to 4th and a Preliminary Final (rematch) this year. Something that the 2011 West Coast did that year after a 16th placed finish and a wooden spoon the year prior. During that incredible run, they took down Fremantle at a wet Optus Stadium back in Round 10 and again at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the Semi Final, and Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Round 13 (from 20 points down in the third quarter) and Round 21 (from 23 points down in the second quarter). They also made more amazing comebacks against North Melbourne in Round 17 (trailed by 28 points late in the third quarter), Adelaide in Round 18 (trailed 20-0 in the first quarter before leading by as much as 16 points in the final quarter), Essendon in Round 19 (trailed by 21 points in the final quarter), Port Adelaide in Round 20 (trailed by 24 points late in the first quarter) and Carlton in Round 23 (trailed by 25 points early in the final quarter). They also had to hold off GWS in Round 15 (led by 37 points at three-quarter time). Then they lost a close one to Geelong before playing like winners against Fremantle in the Semi Final (the Pies' first win over the Dockers in Victoria since 2018) and eventually falling agonizingly short against Sydney by a solitary point. This will be a game to remember for both these teams for many years to come. The McRae Resurrection is over and after all that epicness, the Collingwood fairytale has come to a heartbreaking end. They broke so many opposition hearts over the past few months, but this time, it was their turn. Who will emerge victorious next week and lift the Premiership Cup? Who wins the Grand Final?

Cant imagine how Pies fans feel umpiring was absolutely horrendous

just a good game of footy

I listened to ABC radio. Does anyone have their highlights?

NO NO NO 😭😭😭

Go swans wins a win pies done very well

Congratulations to the swans. Collingwood did fight until the very end

What a gam e

Was Moore pushed in the back by Papley? It's a rhetorical question...

I couldn’t have handled another week of the media worshipping everything Craig McRae says.

Get the feeling the 2022 Grand Final is going to end up a lot like the 2019 Grand Final. Hope the Swans put up a contest.

Always spoilers on video first image. Could you try to avoid spoilers please?

I enjoyed this season of Collingwood's more than any other I have ever experienced, including the 1990 and 2010 season. Yes we won the Grand finals' in those years but my God wasn't this a year a great ride. I'll take the last 12 weeks of pure enjoyment which included the best highs of any season I have ever witnessed. Sydney wont be able to play the type of game they play at the SCG which favours them immensely. On the MCG Sydney will be no match for a Geelong or a Collingwood for that matter. Geelong by 5+ goals. Sydney ran out of legs on the tiny SCG they will die on the MCG.

What a game, go pies.

horrable reffing we still got the result

LADHAMS HAS TO PLAY NEXT WEEK

LET LADHAMS PLAY IN THE GRAND FINAL

Let’s go magpies!all the way next year!

2:16 heard that 50 times last night

LET LADHAMS PLAY NEXT WEEK

As a Richmond supporter even though the first half was dominated by the swans the third term collingwood shut down the swans scoring and started to believe in themselves and then a number of terrible decision's in both the third and last quarter end up giving Sydney the win sorry to say this but the Pies were robbed big time good luck Geelong at least you won with no help from the extra players ie umpires.

Congratulations Sydney swans I'm a Geelong fan and I'm not going to be lying by saying that I'm happy they're in. A little bit scared actually. Anyway, it's going to be a great grand final.

WE ARE THE BEST TEAM EVER!!!!

Biased commentary towards Collingwood as usual

Threw the ball at the end?? Clear free kick

IF LADHAMS DOESNT PLAY NEXT WEEK THEN I WILL THROW PROTESTS

it was a great game ruined by umps, i still think sydney wouldve gotten over they played heaps better all round and swans fans i feel are being pretty respectful ive seen a lot of appreciation of the pies from swans fans as they should because pies have done an fantastic job but gonna get hate for this but i feel like mihocek didnt mark the ball either though, he never had control of it he juggled it to the ground and dropped it, also crisp dropping the ball twice in the last resulting in a goal. think the pressure was really high and so was the noise of the crowd, umps just couldnt keep up imo lol, gg pies but swans deserved it, they held off collingwood when they were coming like a steam train and not many sides have been able to do that as weve seen. look at the umps how you want though, i think we seem to look at the umps differently depending on what side we look at, a lot of the time that papley push hasnt been paid this year, so if it was paid a push swans fans would be upset too, it all just depends how you look at things in the end and whos to say pies wouldve won if papley hadnt kicked that goal, we dont know what wouldve happened, as your coach says try stay out of the what if and buts because it eats at your mind, there so many calls and things in the game that couldve happened, in reality sydney shouldve been 40-60 points up they missed some easy shots infront as well so i think we just tip our hat to a great game, both teams will be back next year and years to come for a great rivalry 😊

#JUSTICEFORLADHAMS

3 WORDS. LET LADHAMS PLAY

GO THE SWANS!

I told all you Colliwobbles supporters! My work here is done! To overcome the Colliwobbles you must acknowledge the Colliwobbles! Do you acknowledge?
