sydney v essendon

swans sort of cheat to avoid extra time again (twice in the same finals campaign) this time the villian is ex saint tony lockett with a behind after the siren against the dons by 1 point. the swans (South/sydney) still haven’t win a legit final since 1945 but are in the grand against the roos i have said many times that after the siren is not fair.
