What a great final that was aside from the result. It could've gone either way but when it came down to it in the final quarter Sydney took it to another level like they did with their amazing turnaround in the second. That second quarter was just an unbelievable effort from the Swans. They reached a level we couldn't, and in the final 10 minutes they kept us well away from goal for the most part, not that it would've mattered with our kicking again. You can't expect to kick more behinds than goals in finals footy especially. We were lucky we got away with it against Adelaide last week, and I said if it happened again the Swans wouldn't let us off and they didn't.
Congrats to the Swans, fully deserved victory on the day and deserved premiers.
I agree. I know it's only NAB cup but there should still be a little effort from teams. But it's also possible teams like Carlton are just waiting until the home & away season starts.
Would have had Nick Reiwoldt in the side if you're talking overpriced and overrated...but that might just be me.
Ok need to stop being lazy and get a team organised!
Also Akermanis seriously need to fuck off and stop trying to put himself back in the spotlight:
Akermanis attacks late Jim Stynes
Former AFL footballer Jason Akermanis is facing a fierce public backlash after suggesting the late Jim Stynes was a "nasty man" who was now being treated like a "demigod".
Akermanis, who was sacked from two AFL clubs, made the inflammatory comments on radio as tributes continue to flow for Stynes, who died from cancer on Tuesday.
"(Stynes) was a nasty man in his day," Akermanis told Mix 92.7 FM on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
"There are a bunch of people who have done just as much who don't get any recognition.
"I just think it's a bit out of kilter.''
The comments are likely to enrage AFL fans, who have led an unprecedented outpouring of grief on social media for a man who also founded the Reach Foundation that helps troubled youths.

In pics: Jim Stynes - life of a legend
Stynes will be honoured with a State funeral on Tuesday that will be broadcast live on Channel Nine and also broadcast live at Melbourne's Federation Square.
In announcing details of the service, Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu insisted it was due to 'significant public interest'.
Akermanis suggested Stynes was not deserving enough.
"Do all football players get a State funeral?"
"There's something about it all that just made me feel uncomfortable.
Sorry I didn't get a chance to have the tips up over the weekend! It was a safe bet to say that no one received a perfect score since everyone picked Geelong! Highest score of the round and congratulations goes to BDFW, Jobbed Out, Mr. Law, Nige, Trips, -WR- and myself with 7/9:

Thanks so much for your patience guys, I'm sorry again for the double hit this week. :$ I did find out that my aunt's fiance's nephew is Chad Wingard which I thought was pretty cool.
Round 9 saw Lawls, Nige, sXe, -WR- and myself with the round's highest score of 7/9. Round 10 had Lawls, sXe, -WR-, Jobbed Out, Triple HBK and BDFW with the highest score of 6/9.
PROGRESSIVE SCORE:
Lawls' great tipping run has seen him join Jobbed Out in the lead with 65. In second place are Nige and myself with 64 and in third place is sXe_Maverick on 62:
Sorry again guys! Round 14 was, let's face it very predictable. The North/Saints game was only the real toss of the coin. Lawls and Triple HBK came up trumps however with a perfect 9. Congratulations.
Round 15 was another fairly easy round to pick, with the exception of a couple of games (seriously...Carlton beating Collingwood???). I had the highest score of the round with 8/9:
Poor Tippett but not surprising at all. He's suffered 3 knocks to the head in just over a month which is so dangerous. For his own health and safety so nothing worse happens, sitting out the remainder of the season may be the best thing for him.
I haven't had the time with Supercoach this year unfortunately. Ah well there's always next year to kick all your asses.
Ok onto the results:
***ROUND 17 - RESULTS***
Sorry for the lateness again guys. This round saw Mr. Snrub, sXe, Triple HBK and myself with the rounds highest score of 8/9.
We played in patches, trailed by 33 points, got it back to 2 points before fading away. Missed Tippett up forward and Jacobs not so much from a hitout standpoint but a target around the ground.
Thompson hit Steve Johnson in the first few second, could be in trouble, hopefully he isn't cause he is a legitimate brownlow contender.
Was so excited and proud of the Hawks on Friday. The last few weeks especially they have seriously stepped up their game. But like Trips said it's going to mean absolutely nothing if they can't beat Geelong on Friday night. And I'd be happy with not selecting Buddy. It's amazing how well they do when they don't have that "must kick it to Buddy" mentality. I've been so excited by their playing, I'm heading to Sydney next month to watch the Swans/Hawks match at the SCG.
***ROUND 18 - RESULTS***
Looks like we have a couple of showoffs haha. Jobbed Out and Nige take the bragging rights this round with a perfect score. Congratulations.
PROGRESSIVE SCORE:
The leaderboard is still incredibly close and with 5 rounds left (scary how quick the season has gone right?) it is honestly just about anyone's game. I'm holding the lead with 116. In second place is Lawls on 115 and in third we have a three way tie with Jobbed Out, Nige & sXe all on 113 each.
***ROUND 19***

I lost £375 betting on Collingwood & Adelaide but I couldn't give a shit tbh. It's hilarious. The consistency from the top teams this year is ridiculous. All of a sudden I'm really confident about my bet on Geelong at 12/1 to win the flag. I bet they're really enjoying life atm.
just absolute rubbish. saw the best and worst in the game. our first quarter was excellent, we stopped and let brisbane run over the top. they did the exact same to west coast earlier in the year at subi and we allowed them to do it here. worst performance of the year, even worse than the roos game. tippett looked concussed still, an absolute towelling at the hands of merrett, who was probably bog.
I don't fancy us either at all next week. Hopefully they'll pick it up with what's at stake. We got a lifeline yesterday and we need to win our last two for a top two spot. If we lose, it's Sydney as minors with the Crows second. If we win we should finish top with West Coast at home week 23 and Geelong playing Sydney. No one will catch us with our percentage but I can't see us winning in Sydney. They were poor last week against Collingwood and a bit sluggish early today apparently but they smashed us earlier in the year in Tassie. It'll be nail biting to say the least.
West Coast/Collingwood will be good too with 4th place on the line. Personally I hope the Pies win so the Eagles don't come to the MCG in two weeks needing a win to secure top 4. North/Freo too will be interesting. Looking at Carlton's last two they can sneak in ahead of Freo with Gold Coast next week. Saints last week will be tough though and their percentage is under 1% better than Freo's who have Melbourne at home last game.
Pipe down Ben! Sorry guys only just got the net up and running tonight.
Just want to say as always thanks so much for participating and putting up with the delays and waiting around for me to get my butt into gear (especially the last couple of weeks). I really do appreciate it. You guys are pretty damn awesome!
Ok starting with Round 22 here are the final results and the winner...
***ROUND 22 - RESULTS***
Carlton and Essendon tanked again and the top 8 was decided. BDFW and Trips had the round's highest score with 7/9. Congratulations.
PROGRESSIVE SCORE:
Just to be annoying you guys can keep reading...
***ROUND 23 - RESULTS***
Here it is gents, the final round of the home and away season. The Hawks take the position of minor premiers (yay!!) knowing it'll mean shit if they can't capitalise. Sydney cost themselves a home final and have to hike it to Adelaide and Geelong are in prime position to become the first team since Adelaide in 1997 to finish 5th and win the flag (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Seemed to be a fairly easy round to tip with the exception of a couple of games. BDFW and sXe punked out and didn't tip this round (wimps ). Jobbed Out and Lawls tipped a perfect 9 this week which is an outstanding effort.
AND THE WINNER IS....
Can you guys believe that no one finished with the same score? I honestly don't think that's happened since we started this. So counting down from 11th place:
Sydney cost themselves a home final and have to hike it to Adelaide and Geelong are in prime position to become the first team since Adelaide in 1997 to finish 5th and win the flag (please correct me if I'm wrong).
umpires tried their best for 2 weeks in a row. sucked in dawks, didn't deserve to be there, didn't deserve to win. GO YOU SWANNIES. o'keefe, jetta, MYKIE PYKE, nick THE GREAT BEARD and mitch FINALS SPECIALIST morton GOATING it. rioli WOATING it
sucked in cuntston you premiership chasing mumma's boy flog. suck on that.
gonna have to say in a world of blubbering idiots they've really managed to screw the pooch with free agency. clubs getting rewarded for not signing a player to a contract. st kilda low-balling goddard and getting pick 13 out of it, while clinton young is worth pick 66 and chris knights is worth nothing! either all free agency signings get compo or none at all, not some or none.
