Rd 24 vs Norf

[stevoswan]

Great effort today.....proud of the boys after the week from hell. Good to see Charlie kick a few late ones to make up for the misses. Go Swans!

Errol has just reached the 40 and 1000.

Great win Swans! Let's go next week.....it will be much tougher of course but the fight is there!

They said on ABC's Grandstand coverage that some people left after the AFLW game. If they indeed had something else on, fair enough.....but if they were staging some sort of protest because of what happened last weekend, shame on them and frankly, they need not come back (I really could use some others words but they would get censored). Pathetically misguided behaviour.

The players out there today are guilty of nothing and deserve to be supported....and they showed the true spirit of the Bloods. Well done to them.

[Sandridge]

So, so proud of the way our club has responded this weekend!

Absolutely magnificent!

BLOODS FOREVER!!

That’s up there with the win against Port in the final in 2003 and the win down at Geelong after the death of McVeigh’s bub in 2011 for me. So proud.

Absolutely spot on, Stevo, absolutely spot on!

Perhaps the "supporters" who left should have a look at footage of Mills and Gulden in tears after the game so they can see what true passion and loyalty is all about!

I don't think there is any need to try and guilt and shame people that made such a decision (I don't think there were many). People hurt in different ways and react in different ways - a lot of people have been very hurt by the actions of a selfish few. Just let people be.

Very proud of how the boys got stuck in today, and the great reception they got from what was still a terrific crowd.

At the end of a tumultuous week of upheaval, on the park our three teams this weekend did us exceptionally proud!

As they say - it is darkest in the moments before dawn. This club has a long way to go to redeem itself, but baby steps were taken today.

Now on to finals and giving it a red hot crack - whatever may come from here!

[SwanSand]

Great effort !
I think every supporter will process things differently so we should let them be.
But today was the most difficult day from the events related effect on performance. We should be fine in a couple of weeks. Of course noy discounting the difficulty with the opposition.

Yep! An emotional and important win that reminds everyone about what our club REALLY is about!

Great win. Gulden BOG, but a lot to choose from for the next best: Campbell, Rowbottom, Mills, Grundy, Serong, Cootee, while the rest of the team played well.

Yep. And I’ve not seen Charlie chase and tackle and do the 1%-ers like that. He was fully invested.

Yes, obviously Brisbane are going to be a lot tougher than a somewhat lacklustre North, but I'm sure this team will give it a red hot go.

I was only listening on radio, but apparently he was very emotional after the game.
And now that I've mentioned radio, Ryan O'Keeffe was commentating and he predicted, that in two or three years, Green will be the best ruck in the competition.

Dattoli very very stiff to not be on your list - he was terrific today, especially in the first half.

And Serong is by the length of the straight the best value recruit of the year. I hope we look at the last few weeks and say 'lets make him a midfielder full time in 2027' - because the kid just has it!
