How are the Swans doing 2024?

[MicCanberra]

With Essendon losing today, it leaves Sydney with a 6 point lead and a game in hand.

As I've been saying--Go Swans!! Maybe there's a chance for them this season.

 

Thanks for posting this Mic.

[MicCanberra]

If they maintain this form, they have more than a chance

Sydney play Geelong on Sunday afternoon, 3.20pm start.

[NoWhiners]

Hmm, I wonder if we'll get to see that. It would be at a good time for us!

[MicCanberra]

1st quarter, Geelong Cats 5.2 (32) to Sydney Swans 0.3 (3)

[MicCanberra]

1st half, Geelong Cats 6.5 (41) to Sydney Swans 5.6 (36)

[MicCanberra]

3rd quarter, Geelong Cats 8.8 (56) to Sydney Swans 9.13 (67)

[MicCanberra]

Full time, Sydney Swans 16.16 (112) beat the Geelong Cats 12.10 (82) 

[MicCanberra]

 Sydney Swans win, now with a 10 point lead (possibly ony 6 if Essendon win tonight) but with a game in hand still. Looking very good as they came back from a very bad 1st quarter, 5 goals down, to win by 5 goals.

[MicCanberra]

Essendon lose to Carlton, Sydney now has a 8 point lead with a game in hand over most of the sides (bar 5).

 

They play the Crows next Saturday night.

OMG!! I saw the first post about the lopsided-score and thought we were doomed! But then, a comeback and it's all good😃

 

Thanks Mic for posting and for telling me where the Swans stand. Maybe there is hope but why did they fall so far behind??

 

I won't believe it until they are in the GF!!

[MicCanberra]

They may have been caught napping, or maybe it was just a blitz that the cats couldn't sustain for more than a quarter.

You are being very nice to them! That sure was a bad quarter! When I read the 1st email from you with the scoring, I thought ,uh oh the Sans are in in trouble. But then I read the rest of your posts and I calmed down!

 

Could this be the Swans year? What's the chatter down under? Are the fans onboard or do  they think this is a fluke?

[MicCanberra]

Sydney Swans (1st) play the Adelaide Crows (15th) tonight.

[MicCanberra]

1st quarter, Crows 4.2 (26) to Swans 2.3 (15)

[MicCanberra]

Half time, Crows 7.4 (46) to Swans 6.6 (42)

[MicCanberra]

3rd quarter, Crows 9.6 (60) to Swans 12.9 (81)

[MicCanberra]

Full time, Crows 10.7 (67) to Swans 16.13 (109).

Another good win, slow start and strong finish.

 

Joel Amartey kicking 9 goals, looks a great option up front, hoping he can keep the form going. That's his 31st of the season.

[arxcards]

Definitely slow out of the blocks again, but nearly lapped the Crows in the end. 

[NoWhiners]

This must be some new strategy the Swans have developed--start slow, lull the other side into thinking they have it in the bag, then strike 😁

 

It seems to be working, so OK with me.

 

Thanks for posting Mic. We get one game a week here but never the Swans 😞

 

 

Go Swans!

[MicCanberra]

No worries, btw, this also means there is a 12 point (3 game) lead over 2nd place.

[arxcards]

They lead by 3 wins, then 2nd to 12th are covered by two wins (8 points)

The ladder after this weekends games.
