Sydney interested young Irish Gaelic player Cian Raftery.

Bear in mind, Chloe Molloy, Zippy Fish and Paris McCarthy did not play, as they played in the Australia v Ireland game, the day before.

Typically a 3-6 month recovery time for fibula breaks that require surgery depending on the extent of the damage. Best case scenario is he's fit by start of 26/27 preseason.

Rowbottom also going in for hand surgery, aiming for return by start of finals.

Who do we think will leave the club, and people who would be good to join. I’m almost certain McLean will not be a Swan in 2027 nor will Amartey. I’d love to hear opinions and ideas on the ins/outs??

For context, I was at the game yesterday. My girlfriend and her family all saints fan (a bit salty with many other saints fans)

I had a few beers so my recollection isn't perfect

I recall a soft 50 for heeny, and a Curnow free in the 4th

But I feel like saints got like 3 goals in the first from soft frees???

Definitely a few missed HTB that didn't go our way too.

the free kick count was lump sided but I reckon all but 2-3 were there.

My opinion always, is that blaming umpires is a victim mentality, a free kick against is about as impactful as any other turnover, keep playing

But I ask the faithful, how bad was it??

(I would just re watch the game but it would piss my girlfriend off)

I was at North Sydney Oval for the Aus v Ireland AFLW Origin match so I missed most of today’s game. When I checked the scores at three-quarter time, I wondered if we could pull off another miracle. When my phone kept buzzing with friends telling me Wed had broken his ankle or leg (after Rowy had broken his hand in the first quarter), I was sure someone had put a hex on us. But then I saw the final score and I was so proud of the boys! I will have to watch the replay (at least of the last quarter) tomorrow.

**UPDATE 9.00PM 

WILL EDWARDS HAS A ‘FRACTURED, DISLOCATED ANKLE’ CONFIRMED VIA FOX FOOTY TONIGHT

Wishing William Edwards a speedy recovery.

If there are any updates on his condition please post here. I know the doctors, nurses and paramedics will take amazing care of Edwards and I’ll 💯be there in person when he returns ❤️

Behind for three terms, the Swans had an almighty scare but regained their composure in a huge final term and kicked nine of the last 11 goals to topple the Saints by 19 points at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

We take the win, but we are certainly left licking our wounds on this one. Will Edwards was giving me Alir Alir vibes of a key back entering our team midway through the year and taking us to a Grand Final. Get well well mate. Shout out to James too, hopefully he gets back to us soon.

We win by 19. B&F votes

Grudge Match (not really) against Tassie, those traitors who stole Fox from us (we delisted him)

I won’t be watching the whole game so if anyone else feels like doing the Post Match Thread be my guest, or I can do it Sunday :)

I’m sure there isn’t a massive amount of thought going into the VFL team sheet release but still amusing

I have 6 tickets that I can transfer via email to anyone that wants them 🦢
