    Stayed until half time, but then departed. Didn't want to get caught in the crush from the NRL next door (sarcasm at it's best). Watched the last quarter on the train with my daughter. Too many points kicked, could have won.

    We became those people who annoy me on public transport. No headphones so everyone in the carriage could hear the game. Hope we didn't annoy too many.

    Isn't playing Tippett in the Grand Final the equivalent of tanking?

    He was statless in the last quarter. I know he started in the first centre bounce of that quarter in the middle but not sure if he came off after that.

    What was the story with Osborne? Was he injured as I have not seen duck eggs like this since Chambers?

    Foote and Pink both played well and could have been game winners had they kicked just a bit straighter. Foote moves ahead of Robbo in the midfield pecking order on their respective performances. Hopefully this kicks off Pink's career like last year's GF did for Melican. He had a great game against top opposition.

    Murray tailed off toward the end of the season after showing so much promise. He's probably done enough to get another year. Ronke had a quiet game with some good moments and should be given another year. No doubt Fisher will go on and I think Edwards should get another as well.

    I'm not sure he got on the ground at all. With 5 men on the bench and 21 listed players, the Swans probably went to a normal 4 men on the bench rotation and had Osborne there in case someone got injured during the game.

    Osborne played the first quarter and then was benched for the rest of the game. The other toppy Wicks had a bit more time, maybe a half. He also did some nice 1 percentters in the last quarter.

    I guess shaw wanted his most experienced senior players on the ground if they were going to win.

    I wonder how the Swans reserves would have gone if the Brisbane seniors had been playing finals as well?
