It's been so long since we haven't made them, 2009 to be exact... And two more times going back too 1997.

Back to 1995, you mean. Swans played finals in '97.


finished 12th in 95,
2nd 96
7th 97

You're 4 to 5 years away from playing finals, limited talent coming through and held on to pensioners for too long (who hold your team together).

You're bottoming out and the worst is to come.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Do they do same game multis on VFL games?

If the VFL side played Friday night, and the AFL Saturday, there is no way they'd be allowed to say the VFL game was his 10th match and he's allowed to play AFL on Saturday.

It's always been you're banned from all footy that weekend.

If Collingwood played Sunday he wouldn't be able to play, that's what the fuss is about.

AFL policy on the run....as always.

The ban was 10 AFL games, that expires Friday night, right to play Saturday. Collingwood have done nothing wrong.

AFL should have said banned until 1st week of finals or say 31/8/19, they didn't, play on IMO.

I dont see the issue, interestingly we had a lad banned for 2 weeks in the SFL recently, but he also plays SANFL juniors so he actually missed 4 games, we tried to get him to play after he had served his 2 SFL games but the bans run from Tuesday to Tuesday so eliminates instances like this.
