Just saw this come up this morning. Joel is a young KPD who was matched and picked up by Collingwood from us about two years ago I believe.

Interesting to see where he goes from here. Best of luck to him. Just thought I'd put this out there.

Hey Swans fam,

Due to a miscommunication on my side with a mate, we’ve double up on tickets.

Selling 3 x Category 1 tickets ORLY concourse bay 8.

Let me know if anyone is interested!

Cheer cheer

Anyone got any suggestions as a new melbournian to watch the game with other swans fans on saturday? Would be much appreciated

One of the three of us got a free top in the mail today and a hand written thank you card as interstate member.

Anyone else?

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much tickets are for SCG members for finals games?

Saw a headline that the Bombers may be thinking of a trade including paying out a bunch of his remaining contract for the next 3 years.

A low cost top up in the back line who may do well as a second or third alongside McCartin and Will Edward’s? Especially as we will soon need to find successors for Rampe, Hamling and perhaps Melican.

We got smashed, and our finals is over unfortunately

Hard to pin point how we lost it, midfield slowly was losing the longer the day went on, defenders couldn’t stand up, and it was obvious we had no AFL Level ruck/tall men to assist

Where to start!

BOG: Bowman, he was ON from the first quarter and was really the only good AFL Listed player we had today, he has shown the last month why they were saying he may of debuted early this year, I do expect he could debut R1 if Hamling/Cunners & Bice are out of the team

Snell/Riak/Melican - can all go into 1 catagory, all were unfortunately well held and were smart enough to always drag Snell Deep so he couldn’t assist the others to intercerpt, also really hurt our run off half back due to this also, Riak is still young & very raw so a lot of silly errors but his effort today was still great to see, but just his rawness has caught him out today, Melican… 100+ AFL Games and somehow the worst of them all, Soundly beaten almost every 1on1, didn’t get involved in many plays & never was able to help the younger guys, at this point I would rather we run the risk of Snell coming into the seniors if we needed another tall, I have no idea what has happened to melican this year,

Co.Warner - tried his best, but obviously we don’t have the inside mids, so it was a hard day for him, but he can lift his head high atleast

McLean - 2 Goals, was a good presence up fwd, but gees he only has 1 running speed and that’s slow, but still glad he got a run in the legs incase we need him for finals

Jevan - 2 Goals and I think 2 GA’s, rough day for him as the ball wasn’t flowing when he can do the most damage, but still, he is NIL I assume if we lose a small fwd

Rosas………how he has fallen from his 7 goal game in the middle of the year needs to be studied, was never in the right place (I’m sure his “pressure acts” will be high as he was always chasing the oppo but never really pressuring them) it really disappointed me how he hasn’t stepped up, and tried to be THE guy in the fwd line at reserve level, he has the flair to but just couldn’t do anything well today to help the team

1 more note - HOLY FUCK UMPIRING - I want to find the free kicks, wouldn’t be surprised there was 60+ it was horrendous how involved they were getting

I will do 1 more VFL Season Thread for Every AFL Listed player that played meaningful games in the reserves but will most likely do that later Tommorow/monday

Just letting everyone know there are still discounted seats available on Ticketmaster for the Sydney vs Brisbane final if anyone is thinking about going to the game but remain undecided.

Use ‘select tickets on map’ function to choose your seat and check out the AFL ‘discounted prices’ near the goals and other areas.

I love twilight games at the SCG and the weather is predicted for sunny ☀️ top of 25* so it‘s going to be a great day for footy!

**Only 243 tickets available to the public on Ticketmaster so I’m predicting a SELL-OUT! ✅

Go Swans! ❤️

Get around the lads!!! Kick off is in 30 mins against port Melbourne!

Blockbuster finals matches incoming! I am super pumped for the 2026 Finals. Go Swans! ❤️

Get around the lads tommorow 12:05, with Melican & McLean coming in we are a very good chance of causing an upset!!!!

I’ll do the usual VFL Match thread, though I won’t be commentating much of the game before half time

Can’t wait for this game if we get up it’ll be huge for the boys hoping to get back into the AFL Side

Visiting Lions fan for the SCG final and we have some tickets in the Bill O'Reilly Stand down low, how bad will the twilight sun be? Sometimes at the Gabba it's unbearable and can't see the game

If Sydney can’t win it all this season THEN
I will burn the bins if fucking Geelong or Hawks are premiers
A Brisbane threepeat would be galling but I’d cope
I don’t hate Freo - dominant all year and probably prefer them to get up if Sydney can’t

Don’t realistically see any other teams as plausible

Maybe I’m delulu but are we due a Paul Roos style gritty miracle - the team bonds through adversity and we find some unlikely Mitch Morton or LRT types??

Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and aren’t guaranteed. We recommend joining the waiting room up to 15 minutes prior to the event going on sale.

**Share your unused barcodes with family, friends and fans so we fill the SCG with red and white!

Good luck 🎉
