The travel to Melbourne and then to Adelaide had to take a lot out of them. They performed well. I cannot see Adelaide beating Hawthorn. Good to see Hawthorn coach travelled to see the game.

Hawthorn Sydney grand final.

Still, a good effort by Freo, especially when you consider it was 2nd against 7th.

Pav having a quiet one hurt as did McPharlan being out. Silvagni looked out of his depth.

I'd say the Hawks are certainties but wouldn't pencil in Sydney just yet.

I think Sydney and Hawthorn have a good advantage this year with the week off. Adelaide and West Coast/Collingwood are going to be very tired teams.

As pointed out , it is hard to see Adelaide beating Hawthorn.

Ill be watching the Colingwood/West Coast game tonight. Should be a ripper

Despite my high hopes...Collingwood won...

Still, will be good to have Sydney beat them next week

Go the Sydney Swans. Great effort to make the grand final

Enjoyable watching the Pies go down the tubes. Now I just gotta hope Hawthorn stomps them.

You bloody beauties SWANNIES!!!

That was a good game, SYdney had it all over Coollingwood most of the game, getting out to 42 points at one stage.

Jetta, Goodes, LRT, Kennedy, O'Keefe, Shaw, Hannebury, McVeigh all had rippers. Teddy after the injury scare showed why he is so valuable down back. ALex Johnson showed more confidence and protected well.

I'd like to see Sam Reid get over the nerves next week and start to hold the important marks.

Can't see Hawthorn losing to Adelaide tomorrow.

Well said Bookman.

When Collingwood kick those 3 goals in a row I was a little worried. The Swans then came back strong.

I aggree that Hawthorn will win tomorrow but it would be great to see an upset.

We nearly saw that upset ripstanley!

I can only hope that Hawthorn is so woefully inaccurate against the Swans next week

I totally agree. I think they were to confident. I think their attitude will change next week.

The betting is $1.50 Hawks, $2.00 Sydney.

I think Sydney will go in truly believing they COULD win the game

The Hawks will go in believing they SHOULD win the game.

McGlynn is back for Sydney and we just have to hope Teddy's ankle is okay

A fantastic thrilling and open match today.

Thinking about the next season already. I understand the "draft-pick-system" to a certain extendt. That the lower ranked clubs get to pick their players early in the draft. But what happens, if the player chosen, don't want to play for the club, that have picked him? Not good for his devellopment, lesser media exposure, to far away from family or whatever. Are the salaries for the newbies the same whether they go to a smaller (poorer) club or the one of the big clubs in the system?

The rookie draftees don't get a lot of choice. I believe high draft picks command a greater starting salary. There is some background here

Always good to be the underdog. Go the Sydney Swans

Grand Final tomorrow. Who do you think will win and by how many points. Being a one eyed Swans supporter I say Swans by 7. Very close game. I have advised the wife that tomorrow is a very special day. GO THE SWANS

I'm hoping for a Swans victory...by 3 goals

My heart is saying the Swans to win but my brain

is saying Hawthorn by 14 points.

I have to go along with everything you say here and I hope I am wrong for the sake of the swans supporters here.

What a great win to the SYDNEY SWANS. When Hawthorn got 2 goals in front in the last quarter I thought it would be hard to come back. What a team to fight back and win. They all played well. They are a great team.

They just kept going... I thought the Hawks were going to explode away with goals at any time. An exciting game indeed! just 4 points in it with 2 minutes to go

Hawthorn won the hitouts, contested possessions and inside 50s comprehensively.
