It’s a Friday night lights final at the MCG for Sydney, who face a Carlton team desperate to prove they belong in September. Can the Swans upset the odds again?
There are two things that are almost guaranteed in September: the sun will be shining in Sydney and the Swans will have booked a place in the finals. The Swans are back in the final eight once again, but it was a seriously bumpy road to get to the MCG against Carlton.
The Swans fanbase are now completely accustomed to finals football and it is almost guaranteed every year. There are children in Swans jumpers who do not understand the season can end in August. This is not how the AFL is meant to work. Conversely, their opponents on Friday, Carlton have been starved of an appearance in the last eight for the past decade and will be desperate to prove they belong on the biggest stage.
Carlton are a club with a rich history and one of the most loyal fan bases in the game and have 95,277 signed-up members, the fourth-highest in the AFL. Cripps and his teammates will be desperate to repay their loyalty with a big performance at the MCG.
