Gold Coast upset Swans in front of 2012 premiers (The Age)

The 10-year celebrations for the Swans' 2012 premiership team were silenced at the SCG on Saturday as the current Sydney team lost to Gold Coast.

“It’s a bit blurry to be honest,” Goodes said of the 2012 premiership, in which he played a starring role with a significant knee injury. We’ve had a numerous amount of those. It’s not an excuse but do we get that right?” “It was terrific,” Longmire said. “We’ve spoken about it. It was the second time the Swans have lost to a team outside the final eight this season, giving the Suns only their third victory of 2022.

He may be the difference between the two sides, he’s dangerous,” Brownlow medallist Gerard Healy told Fox Footy during the call. To knock off a finals contender away from home.” “This is what they spoke about in their first four or five weeks. When they’ve been challenged, they found a way to respond,” Saints great Leigh Montagna said. “They just needed a scalp didn’t they? Healy added of the Suns: “They couldn’t be dominating this game anymore. And the Suns held up for the rest of the way — not allowing the Swans to score — before Casboult’s clutch goal in the final two minutes sealed the upset. Playing without star midfielder Noah Anderson and on the road, the Suns have defeated the Swans for the third time in the clubs’ last four meetings at the SCG dating back to 2018. Sydney then booted the next two goals, including a handball assist from Logan McDonald that Healy labelled “one of the handballs of the year” to get within a kick of the visitors. Although Sydney star Luke Parker started to get busy, booting a goal before missing another to help get the Swans back in the game. The Gold Coast Suns have pulled off one of the upsets of the season in a shock 14-point win over the Sydney Swans at the SCG, 10.15 (75) to 8.13 (61). But Gold Coast held its nerve in the fourth quarter, booting two majors and holding the Swans goalless to pick up its third win over the year.

Returning after back-to-back ACL injuries, Thompson had a modest return to AFL football, picking up seven touches and two marks, but the Suns will just be thrilled he got through the game without incident. Gold Coast: Lukosius (knee) After a few weeks of average form, Izak Rankine showed just why the Suns rated him so highly in 2018.

Lukosius) Gold Coast: Noah Anderson (illness) replaced in selected side by Alex Davies

On a day of positives for the Suns, another was the return of Rory Thompson into the Gold Coast line-up after four years away from AFL football due to a horrible injury run. But not even his presence along with the rest of the 2012 premiership side from 10 years ago could inspire the Swans as they failed to wrestle back control of the contest for long enough periods. Embarrassing performance— David Scutt (@Scutty) @sydneyswans, keeping with the recent worrying trend. It’s a tough game and you can’t afford to sit back and wait and see what the opposition have got,” Swans coach John Longmire told reporters in the post-match press conference. “It’s more about the reality of how hard the competition is. The Gold Coast Suns caused arguably the upset of the AFL season to date with a spectacular defensive display to emerge victorious against Sydney.

Gold Coast v Sydney - Rising Stars/Falling Stars - The Mongrel Punt (The Mongrel Punt)

The Suns upset the Swans at the SCG... again. So, is it really an upset if it keeps happening? HB has your Mongrel Review.

They came to play in this one, took the Swans’ best in the third and hit back with some offence of their own. Yes, Luko was hurt in this game, but prior to his subbing, he had zero influence on the contest and he just looks like a player without a position of his own. In essence, he was battling two opponents for most of the contest, with the Swans able to tag out and remain relatively fresh. The kid is all class, and with 25 touches, seven intercepts and 11 rebound 50s, he took another step in the right direction in this game. After a few weeks on the wing, he was back inside 50 this week, with Gerard ‘The Fossil’ Healy, claiming he did not have the tank to play wing. He had 13 intercepts in this game as he repeatedly cut off the hurried, pressured, or lazy Swans inside 50 deliveries… Yet, what is perfectly acceptable was the way he ran down Lachie Weller in the third quarter as the Swans clawed their way back. His best position is in the cut and thrust of the midfield, where he can crash in, win the footy, or lay a tackle when he doesn’t get first hands on it. He has been tried everywhere and has not seemed to settle anywhere. He was at his best in that role in this game, notching 24 touches, laying seven tackles, and registering six clearances. To see him giving it to Hayward indicates to me that this is a player whose competitive edge should be fed at all costs. For the Suns, they battled against a team that successfully blanketed their number one ball-winner, but countered by pushing David Swallow into the guts, Izak Rankine to the high half-forward post, and Jack Lukosius to the other flank.
