BookMan Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Not a great finals game to watch unless you were a Syd supporter I guess. It did really look like 1 versus 6 to be honest. Congrats to North for getting there but all year I think there's been a huge gap after Port at 5th. I'm hoping for a better game today. If the hawks get up, it will set up a ripping GF. Buddy might be the difference in the end. Khun WillyWonka!! Tell me it ain't so! Silky smooth handballing under pressure. Lightning fast movement to ball carriers on the outside Scintillating marks inside the 50 The youngsters denying North's big names the ball Swans biggest ever finals win 4 to Buddy, 4 to Tippet, 3 to Goodes! Magic to watch! Sydney V Hawks would be the best grand final match up. For me, up until last night, Hawthorn has been the best team all year. They would have to lift slightly to match the Sydney of last night, though you have to consider Sydney hopelessly outclassed North. Won't happen against the Hawks Port could well upset the Hawks with their style of play, though unlikely. Sydney would love to face Port in the GF instead of Hawthorn I am sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooka Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) RUCKMAN Patrick Ryder has quit Essendon and requested a trade to a new club. The 26-year-old has been linked to the Brisbane Lions, Port Adelaide and Greater Western Sydney, but the Bombers were hopeful he could be convinced to stay. In the wake of Essendon's case against ASADA being defeated in court on Friday, sources close to Ryder have told AFL.com.au that the ruckman has finalised his wish to leave the club just two years into a four-year contract. The important ruckman could attempt leave the Bombers on the grounds they seriously breached their duty of care to him through the supplements scandal of 2011-12. That clause could also be used to convince the Bombers to orchestrate a trade. Essendon would receive no compensation for losing Ryder under the new rule, which was pushed by the AFLPA and introduced as a result of the club's breaches. Ryder enjoyed probably his best season in 2014, averaging a career-high 26 hit-outs and kicking 20 goals in 21 games. Earlier this week, Essendon defender Cale Hooker was hopeful Ryder would reject overtures from other clubs and stay with the Bombers Wouldn't think GWS needed him Giles wants out of GWS. - Giles to Essendon and Ryder to GWS Giant set to lumber out as Giles looks for a trade. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-18/giant-wants-out Edited September 20, 2014 by chooka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Well the stage is set, will the Hawks be able to enact revenge for 2012 or will the Swans take home the chocolates. Looking at the match, the difference was Port and their woeful kicking! 16 behinds and only 4 of those rushed. Port did to the Hawks what Freo did to them last week. This is the matchup everyone wanted, especially the Bondi Billionaires! I'm sure we'll see Buddy at his absolute freakish best! There'll be nothing left in the tank, that's for sure. Norm Smith prediction: Luke Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hird so keen to save his reputation if not careful will be the latest causality of the coaching merry go round. Couldnt happen to a nicer team....though i did like Hird as a player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
