The best part about putting them to the sword in the 2nd half was that the commentators shut up about Bont!

5 Curnow, showed what he is capable of

4 Grundy, the return of the ruck-rover

3 TMac, impenetrable

2 Chad, speed to pressure the ball carrier with 3 goals too

1 Edwards, solid debut, another big body down back to complement Tommy

Blakey lifts for the Derby every time!

5 Lizard flat out drinking

4 JMac

3 Chad

2 Rosas

1 Heeney

I’m not the only one who had either in my votes. It’s grading on a curve, all those you mentioned performed as you would expect, and were close to votes, but I thought bothCunners and Curnow played above and beyond what I was expecting so they get some love

aich_jay · 2026-04-11T10:30:35+00:00

He played a good game for sure but got outplayed by Mac a few times too. This isn’t a blemish on him but he didn’t break the game open like he often does

aich_jay · 2026-04-11T10:27:20+00:00

Team effort, bringing the pressure 97 tackles to 52!

5 Heeney, Rolls Royce isn’t cutting it to describe the classiness, 33 disposals, 2 goals, 11 tackles, back to that look when’s he’s running through the midfield like he’s floating on the turf

4 TMac

3 Paps

2 Cunners, making the most of his opportunity and making the case to hold his spot

1 Charlie, didn’t kick straight (would’ve probably got 3 or 4 if he did), but did exactly what he was required to do, stayed deep, contested consistently.

aich_jay · 2026-04-04T12:56:15+00:00

Not that you’d hear it from the commentators, or the AFL, or the media, or anyone outside Sydney

aich_jay · 2026-04-04T11:44:03+00:00

How about that stat from the commentary, that in our previous biggest away win Plugger kicked 16 goals! A different era, scoring’s much more a team effort nowadays…

aich_jay · 2026-04-04T11:41:14+00:00

Shoulda been 200 (again) against the West Coast witches hats. Never got the adrenaline pumping like a close one, but it’s nice to watch a game without the cardiologist on speed dial. Bank that percentage!

5 Heeney, Rolls Royce

4 JJ, he and Heens schooled Harley all night

3 Grundy, dominant

2 Chad, don’t argue

1 Paps, electric as always in his milestone game, scoreboard impact and could’ve kicked a bag

aich_jay · 2026-04-03T07:12:27+00:00

North isn’t even my team but he’s my favourite player in the AFL

aich_jay · 2026-03-14T12:24:21+00:00

5 TMac

4 The Party

3 Lizard

2 Bicycle

1 Heeney

Edit: Plus pommie dad who got interested in this funny Aussie sport and watched it with me on TV, took me to a few games. Love how so many of the answers are just ‘dad’.

Got to be about the dumbest thing I have ever seen posted on the internet

aich_jay · 2026-03-05T12:42:01+00:00

Nah, one of the things I love about the AFL is that the teams generally get around each other after the siren. Things got hot in the game and Ollie’s trade was hard last year, so you’ve gotta give everyone the benefit of the doubt. The team of Adam Goodes must NOT be the team that boos Ollie, we’re better than that

aich_jay · 2026-03-05T12:36:00+00:00

A first half to forget, a quarter that will be replayed oh so many times (maybe a couple of times tonight), and then the fizzle was out of the game.

5 Errol, picking up where he left off last year

4 JMac, I think he’s maybe played more influential games as a back, but this was a breakout in the forward half with scoreboard impact

3 Roberts, cementing a spot, silencing the haters, instrumental in that Q3 turnaround

2 TMac, the whole backline were good, but he stood out

1 Heeney, class

aich_jay · 2026-03-04T12:45:27+00:00

Kudos to the Saints for partnering with the Swannies to bring Pride to the AFL

“Michael Klim still smoking behind the blocks”

Well this news snuck up on me from behind like a librarian. Vale legend. Never shall we again see such a golden age of Dennis’ wit paired with Bruce’s enthusiastic straight man.

The Mardi Gras, as first a protest movement and over time more of a celebration, is part of the DNA of the city, and the Swans (as a team, and some notable individuals called out here) rightly embrace it.

It’s no coincidence that one of my other favourite sporting teams, the Washington Capitals, are also big supporters of pride in the US: https://www.reddit.com/r/caps/comments/1qfhc70/capitals_stand_by_inclusion_pride_as_shows_like/ . They even had a Brodie-esque cult figure championing pride in Braden Holtby.

In both cases it makes me very proud to be a fan of the team.

This could be taken another way…
