"It was the worst of times, it was the best of times" - Charles Dickens 1859 Paraphrase
Quarters 1 and 2 was an absolute mess for the Swans last night with 6 - 7 fumbles no one should ever make and the following stats v Carlton:
Disposals -108, Contested Possession -40, Uncontested Possession -61
That would have blown out a little bit more after the Blues skipped out to a 22 point lead after the 1st 2 goals of the 3rd quarter.
Enter McInerney, Heeney and Gulden with those stats for the 3rd quarter reading
Disposals +72, Contested Possession +40, Uncontested Possession +36 and the score +61!
21 clips from this game in 3 videos with the themes being Carlton getting overcommitting and getting stuck at contest, Sydney creating length to provide space in front of the immediate play to transition forward via handball and/or run and the huge difference in running power between both team's personal.
As normal the full analysis is part of a level 1 membership ($9/month) but I will post 2 of these videos from below to show what contest looks like in 2026 and it's a huge shift:
