AFL: Even though Sydney have top spot locked in, coach John Longmire says he won't be resting players before the finals.
Skilful winger Ollie Florent says the meet — following the Swans’ 112-point loss to Port Adelaide — saw players express feelings about their everyday lives.
Only one premier in VFL/AFL history — Carlton in 1945 — has suffered a defeat of 100-plus points and gone on to win the flag in the same season.“Losing by that much is never a good thing, to the group’s credit, to come in the next week and put that behind us, just move on, and have a really clear focus into next week .”
It was upon their return to Moore Park that the players gathered to voice their thoughts — with the topics of those discussions kept to life outside of football. “It’s not always highs; we’re able to come out of the lows together is something that I really enjoy about football — having the friendships that we’ve all got.”Florent’s Swans made it consecutive wins last Friday, but it took a supercharged effort in the second half after another sluggish start.“They were beating us at the ball, groundballs all around the ground — we were coughing it up a little bit, and it allowed their out-number to come into play.
