    Winner: Swans by 27
    First goal: Rohan
    N. Smith: N. Smith
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    For all you stats fans, this analysis predicts a Swans lead at every change, with about equal probability of a close or a blowout win.

    Swans by 15
    First goal: Gazzaaaaaa!
    Most goals: Stringer 4
    Most disposals: Mitchell (37)
    Most tackles: Hewett (14)
    Norm Smith: Parker (30 touches, 11 tackles, 16 contested possessions, 3 goals 1 behind, impressive moustache)
    Last goal: Bont
    Worst umpiring call/non-call: "Play on, not fifteen" for a Swans kick-in that was clearly 20m. Smith is tackled and "head gear" converts the free kick.

    Yes, it's probably about time that a Smith won the Smith. I don't think it's happened before, has it? He's certainly been one of our best during the finals.

    I will take solace from the Squiggle as well
    Squiggle 2016

    Better rating slightly in terms of attack than 2012, better rating slightly in terms of defence than 2005 (some feat that). If we play to our best, we will win!
