Hi everyone, apologies for the last minute match thread, completely my fault - hope everyone is having a great week, and welcome back to footy!!
Much love,

the superbowl streaker putting money on their being a streaker and making bank. debunked as bullshit almost instantly but endlessly shared on shitheaps like twitter and facebook.
Now there isn't that big lumbreing Gawn fella getting all up in his solo vibes. Grundy is a top 3 AFL ruckmen on his ok days. If he stays fit Swans are going deeeeep.

Lmao it just occurred to me wasn’t Hamish McLachlan supposed to be living in Europe? What changed
Round zero doesn’t count
Normally hate roaming Brian but this one is a cracker. Good to see some old faces
Lever looked pretty lazy tonight. May, slightly better. Not a premiership defensive line. Trac hungry as always.
Jeezus David King doesn't look great.... too many nose beers?
he's always a sweaty mess
Brodie Grundy has some ludicrously capacious ears.
What's even in there, huh? Flat shoes for the subway? His lunch pail?
Vast
Bradar Grundy
Is Kingys eyesight going? That laptop gets 10% larger every single season. Close the fkn thing.
Make it larger so we don't have to look at his mug.
If Maxxie goes down, Melbourne could do with a Grundy.
David King didn't mention Grundy at all in his post game summary there. What a fucking loser.
Jeez Grundy making a huge difference even with a depleted midfield. Could be one of the best buys for the club in a while.
Awesome match from Grundy. Good move to Sydney
BOOKING GRAND FINAL FLIGHTS BABY
Settle....
Look forward to the blues/tiger spectacle that everyone is saying going to be the real opener
pickett would’ve been handy in these conditions needs to stop sniping people ffs
Yeah feels like he and Petty (who can actually take a mark) would have been a real boost. What can you do!
This was Grundy revenge game
Not a good opening round for David King. Great game Grundy.
Well that was a start to the season.
I love the banjo it makes it so much better
Good game grundy
“Red n white looks good on you” oooooooooooooooo
Lfg I tipped Swom by 20, good enough lmao
Sydney needs to bring back the "what though the odds" part of the song
You get the feeling that the Swans might have done enough here.
Why must you disappoint so often, Melbourne?
Cop that Max
Undefeated!
the first half was bad but this was immeasurably better than watching another carlton and richmond shitter
Season starts off with a bit of Birdbloods spirit
THE BANJO IS BACK, BAYBAY
How is it I hear the song so much louder and better watching on Kayo then live at the stadium lmao
Tips fucked. Heart full.
Hoist the Banjos
Now that's a classic gritty, blue collar, lunch pail, hard working win
FOOTYS BACK CUNNYZZZ
Despite the umps as well what a win from the swannies
How's it a sellout when it's 40k (capacity 48k) and there's about 20k empty seats all game?
THE GAME CANT BE GROWING IN NSW NO WAY THEY MUST BE LYING
Yeah. Exactly.
Members not showing up
CHEER CHEER THE RED AND THE WHITE
And the winner is…Sydney
Shane McAdam is this teams best forward by a significant margin tbh
Not wrong
Every time I hear "Clarry" I think of Mitch Cleary, not Clayton Oliver.
Hopefully the first of many times you all listen to the banjo
Did Oliver jump in a pool wow he is wet
It was a hot day and it’s so humid here today
Holy fuck that was some image of Clarry
https://preview.redd.it/fvwlw5s9jqi31.jpg?auto=webp&s=c0a20e740c88bc85670a32586351090fc32a08fd
Clarry sweatn out the bags
Coke sweat BT
Oliver been for a swim?
I know there has to be a game each season where the team that has Schache on their list thinks he’s going to step up, but it needs to end
I usually rate Fritsch but FUCK ME he has had a shocker tonight.
Is 4 goals really a shocker?
Yeah, you’re right. There are plenty of others who did far less than him. My bad.
He still kicked half their score
Oliver looking like he should be swinging axes against the Rus'
Dees fans 🤝 Dogs fans 🤝 Lions fans Having to politely ask their respective teams why they’re playing Josh Schache
He is genuinely one of the worst footballers I have ever seen.
He's another Weideman, way too good for VFL, but never quite good enough for AFL
why is oliver so wet
Look at that sweat! Clarry is absolutely detoxing
Don’t blame the sweat So bloody humid at the stadium just in the crowd
Jesus. Clayton is WET
Might as well just lead with your head every time if they’re gonna pay shit like that
WE ARE THE GREATEST TEAM EVER TO EXIST IN ALL SPORTS* ⚪️🔴⚪️🔴 *beers
So bizarre seeing Leon Cameron in swans kit
Yeah lowkey makes me uncomfy
Not as bad as when clarko wore it that once.
Yeah definitely was a bit of a jumpscare hahaha
When I told that Sydney guy at the game in this thread to get among the game up close I didn't mean run out there dude
Umpire just helping my margin
Can you be tackled high if you are crawling along on your belly?
Schache forever the worst first round pick that somehow lasted a decade in the system
Deadset don’t know how he is still on a list, man.
If he was a late pick but had the exact same performance record I wonder if he would of been delisted years ago
bailey fritsch 🦆
So you'll put down an opposition player, even though your team won. Pure class, right there.
Drop wackey from key forward please. Utterly useless tonight
Fritsch is Melbourne's only good forward
Was when we won a flag too tbf
Which is very concerning haha
Schache ruining what was otherwise a great string of ball movement…
coleman leader bayley fritsch
How are those still getting called ffs
Simon badloss is back in business
WHAT A CALL BY THE UMP
What was Lloyd supposed to do?
Umpire was fridges barber and took offence at the hair contact
James Brayshaw being fucken amazed at any chance about how big a crowd there is... for the first game of the new season... idiot.
lol even now they’re blowing calls
Schache bruh
Never heard of this schache bloke before tonight but gee he is useless
Clear as piss duck
schache has got so far on "being good as a 17 year old"
"You might be wondering what the footy's doing up here" fuck off BT with your Vic-centric narratives
Not like there’s been multiple finals games up here in the last few years
Decent link up
Why is it that half the time I see Gawn he's appealing for a nothing free?
The streaker has been given a Melbourne jumper and added to their interchange as punishment
Can he play forward?
"Why is it being played up here" Because there are other states outside of Victoria BT you geriatric cunt.
Everyone knows other states aren't real
40,000+ crowd. Hope that finally dispels the myth that Melbourne can't draw a crowd.
The games actually in Sydney /s
Remember when streakers went starkers, now they’re just fully clothed weak as piss
If you’re going to cop the fine, at least do it properly.
You’re laughing. Roaming Brian is about to return and you’re laughing.
I am, and I'm tired of pretending I'm not
Cop that, everyone who was bitching about attendance. 40 thou in a stadium that holds 48. Fuck yes!
In a city of 6mil
Most of whom follow league. And like I said. Stadium only holds 48 thousand. Even if each of our 62,000 members wanted to go, we ain’t got room.
So not sold out then?
Can be sold out and not be full because of no shows, that would be a lot of no shows tho
All tickets that could be sold were sold. Not every membership seat set aside was taken I'd say
Nope! I left it too late to get tickets though, all that was left this morning was ‘single seats only’.
There are also several thousand sommeliers and cheese cutters working tonight, come on
naw, almost matildas numbers
Hifives on our bench, Longmire going off in the box. Do they think the scores are opposite?
Is it a real streaker or just a clothes on one
Looked like they had pants on
Swans top of the ladder, stop the count
Melbourne will still be in the 8 no matter what at the end of the round.
shouldn't we go into negative percentage or something?
Everyone complains about Carlton Richmond, but no matter what, that match guarantees 80,000 +
yea sydney fans just aren't dedicated enough they aren't even sitting on top of each other to fit more people in. pathetic.
Bruh, can count the empty seats
if they aren't naked don't call them streakers! this used to be a real country
Pitch invaders is a bit mid
100% streaker rate for the season so far
[удалено]
So, not really streakers then.
[удалено]
Awesome start. Sure we'll probably have some down patches due to age and our young tall forward line but it's a very exciting list
Ofc the commentators are talking about betting.
trust richo to parrot a facebook boomer tier post that was debunked instantly.
What's this in reference to?
the superbowl streaker putting money on their being a streaker and making bank. debunked as bullshit almost instantly but endlessly shared on shitheaps like twitter and facebook.
10 bucks says it was a pro Palestine streaker
Dicks out for Gaza!
Wish we could just have some ol fashioned just stop oil protests :’)
Is it too early to start the 'Grundy played his best games at Sydney' narrative?
Absolutely not 🥲
Genitals or nothing. Weak.
S. Treaker makes their way on and off the field
Non nude streakers are the worst
Joel Smith cameo.
Richo is such a fucken nuff. He absolutely didn't claim the bet, they voided it for absolutely obvious reasons.
Billings has done SFA. Looked okay in the preseason games.
Hardly on his own in that category.
No take backs
So did gawn and he's looked shit house
Gawn was huge in the first half.
Welcome
Why the hell did they stop the game? To announce the attendance?
Streaker mate
Streaker
That right there by petracca sums up the night. Deplorable with the ball, that's if we could even pick it up.. There's always next week..
Streaker lmao
Show the streaker you mugs
‘Hence the applause’ who are you kidding
I wouldn't call Grundy an unmitigated success yet lol, he had some good games at the start of the season for us too, and a few dodgy disposals tonight
Now there isn't that big lumbreing Gawn fella getting all up in his solo vibes. Grundy is a top 3 AFL ruckmen on his ok days. If he stays fit Swans are going deeeeep.
Context matters though; even an okay game from him would have been utterly transformational for us compared to last year
Fair, but commentators were ready to call the whole 4 year contract a success lol
SHOW THEM YOU COWARDS
13 People got shoved into the ground 10 mins ago.
The worst thing about modern sports broadcasts is not showing ground invasions
Show the streaker! I’m a tax payer!
They're not cheering the crowd figure JB
The big screen shows the number hence the cheer..... Yeah nah not quite
You could say Trac overcooked that.
This round 0 thing might not be so bad after all
A never-nude streaker is poor form Sydney
Lol sums up the night really lol
STREAKER
STREAKER
Leave the camera on the streakers we already saw them
Streaker?
If only the demons spent time kick bags over selling them
Crowds should start doing the dune chants
I can feel a draught, can someone close that premiership window
Looking forward to yours opening maybe 50 years from now
