Any suggestions on the best pub around Silom area to watch the match tonight?

Did you find a place?

Maybe the Irish pub, I think it is Molly Malones, on Convent Road?

The important game is tonight , Freo v Swans. tongue.png

Great game. Edge of the seat stuff for the last 10 minutes.

Yep great game. There guys my Cats/Freo G/F

Wonder if Chapman could have been the difference between a goal.

The scary part for me for tonights winner, is that the Hawks still won without significant

contributions from Buddy, Cyril, Rougheah and Breust.

History is littered with sides who have lost GF's and won the next year.

The Hawks will start as firm favourites next week.

well that is different then

Hahaha.. Yeah it's for Grand Final Day ;)

As for the make up of the Grand Final - is it not a little bit of history repeating? Last year the Hawks played Cats same game and EVERYONE was saying it was the Grand Final and then on the day, well we all remember what happened ;)

In case you don't, I'll leave you with this..

You going to the function GS? What type of numbers do they get there?

History could repeat itself but Dockers should win tonight. The real problem they face tonight and even so more next week if they win, is expectations from their fans.

They might believe the hype tongue.png

Sydney chairman Richard Colless slams Paul Roos for trying to lure emerging Swans prospects

PAUL Roos is accused of trampling on his legacy at the Swans by trying to recruit young Sydney stars to join him at the Demons.

The new Melbourne coach, who guided Sydney to their 2005 premiership and established the famed Bloods culture, has set his sights on highly rated Swans academy players.

Chairman Richard Colless is furious at the actions new Melbourne coach who is attempting to lure the academy’s best prospect 18 year old Lloyd Perris to the Demons.

“Paul’s actions massively devalue his standing at the club,” Colless told theDaily Telegraph.

“He led the club to it’s first premiership in 72 years. He helped establish the Bloods culture, he is on a pedestal at the Swans and I’m unbelievably disappointed in his actions.

Geez, I hope Bristle, Richo and Lingy get the gig tonight.

This was Bruce a few weeks ago "cometh the man, cometh the champion".

I can't remember but it must've been about Judd or Hodge.

And what about last night when Stevie J had a snap for his 4th goal "I wish he'd kicked it,

not because I want Geelong to win, because I love him".

Settle Bruce.

wow ! the intensity both on and off the field is quite amazing and something to behold. never seen anything like it in an AFL match before. the Dockers are really giving it to the Swans and i was always told and lead to believe that Perth resembled a sleepy over 60"s retirement village. biggrin.png

Swans being made to look like a bottom 8 side.

Midfield shut down. Sustained pressure from Freo. Freo taking marks across the ground, finding the loose man, not giving Sydney any run or time at all.

No way u could see Sydney coming back tonight

Can only hope it doesn't turn into a 100 point loss

Big win for Fremantle. Ron you must be very happy to have them in the Grand Final. They took the foot off in the last quarter to save players from injuries.

I was very impressed with the send off of Jude Bolton by the Fremantle players after the game.

I hope they play next week like they did tonight.

I for one will be hoping they beat Hawthorn.

I will be tipping them to win.

Ron19 will be a happy chappie..Probably also Will27 and OldCroc? Farmerjo too?

A lot to be happy about really... Fremantle played a blinder the first half and could have been up by 60 points at the main break. Relentless pressure, good marking, hard tackling, brilliant tagging and nullification of Sydneys top players. Good team work all over the field. They just know where there team mates are going to be and what their roles are. The inaccuracy in front was a small concern, but maybe just nerves. At no stage did Sydney look like they could win.

After that performance It is very hard to split the teams for next week

Yes.pity he wasted time at the tigers when the swans were a better fix for him.

On a bright note for the swans brigade,dont think they will lose any postion on ladder next year with the talent they have to come back.

The only issue for the boys is Roosey next season...

I potentially can see a couple going down, Mummy would be one, especially if he wants to go home. Jamar would learn a thing or two..

Can't see anyone else looking to go, let alone the Swans trading with Melbourne.

Possibly a few reserves players looking though..

Going to miss mad Monday for the first time in a few years at The Forrester in Slurry Hills... One of the seriously more civilized teams...

Oh well.. That's footy boys.. Love it to hate it..
