We arent going to play at Etihad in the finals and i am not sure they have any rights to a finals unless there are 4 finals in Melbourne and in that case the Sunday game must be at the G. Wrong, Etihad have in their contract the right to 1 final per year, they also have the right to waiver that IF ...

I Think Goddard fills the role perfectly, he is good overhead has a big tank would be able to spot up targets inside 50 and can kick goals from long range. You could basically give him a roving commission off the half forward line similar to the role that of Ryan O'Keefe.

King and Dawson will be in our best 22 come finals.... McEvoy is unlucky but will miss, the other one is very tough indeed, its going to depend on match ups on a weekly basis

Who did Zac play on?? If it was Neagle, then he hardly got beaten, Neagle got 2 fairly cheap goals. It seems that all of the damage done was by the small forwards and mids dropping into space. Dal got caught guarding thin air three separate times whilst his direct opponent waltzed into space. They a...

All this analysing is just amazing. I tell you what how about all of you so called experts go out and run about 20km at 3/4 pace, then stand in front of over 40,000 people with 18 blokes standing 10 metres away hurling abuse at you AND then try and kick a footy 45 metres accurately.

Ball played Mini's role for almost all of the first half, he was switched to Watson about 10 mins into the 3rd quarter to try and curb his influence. The problem for Bally and also Armo, who also played the defensive forward role for a while is that both of them combined only contributed around 20 p...

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, we will have a 7 day break after a fairly soft last game of the season against Melbourne who will already be thinking about mad monday whilst the main contenders for fourth spot will have a pretty tough last game. Bulldogs and Collingwood will kick the snot o...

We can learn a lot of lessons from Dean Bailey and Melbourne.

Frankly, I think they are learning a hell of a lot more from us ATM

If an interstate team finishes fourth do we get a home final at Docklands????? If so then I would hope any one of Adelaide or Brisbane finish fourth

If you are a social club member, then you will have the opportunity to purchase 1 ticket per membership to the GF. On the monday before the Prelim final, you will have to ring TM and pay a small booking fee which will guarantee you your ticket should we make it. If we make it your credit card will t...

How about his comeback game against Adelaide when he missed almost the first half of the season. He must have been 10 kgs overweight, could barely run.....and had 9 up until half time!!!!! He only got 2 more in the second half, only because he could barely stand up. He was a freak, had the best skil...

Kosi rested Roo in big Mac to stay

Dont think Kosi needs a rest, he missed in Round 17. Plus I think he needs the game time to find his touch again.

just wondering (as i have no idea how memberships and seating works Confused ) im an 11 gamer and have never used it could i get a ticket and give it to someone???? i mean my 'tickets i could get with my membership' basically just go to waste id rather someone else use it for the H&A season im ...

Yeah do as perfectionist says. Just get a ticket to enter. Then worry about the actual seating position. If my boy's mate buys a ticket, they usually stand somewhere, so that'll mean an empty seat next to me. Lvl 3. Also, the MW is sure to have a spare seat somewhere. Work it out on the day. Unfort...

With all these non "ball playing" guys in the team, too much of the midfield engine room work fell on the shoulders of Lenny, Dal and Joey, giving the Swans the opportunity to target these three with close tags and take away a lot of our forward thrust. I defy anyone to argue against the ...

interesting that most posts on the forum are highlighting our poor defensive effort. i was sick in bed and so listened to the match only, but the commentators were suggesting it was our mids that were getting well beaten, meaning less pressure on the ball carrier/kicker entering our defensive 50, a...

I will be filthy if Bally has done something serious. I cannot believe Eddy is in the side ahead of Luke, its a disgrace

As long as we have a 7 day break it won't make any difference. The difference between 7 and 8 days is negligible. Its when you have the shorter 6 days that it gets tough.

I see him in our best 22 when fit, playing Gwilt's role

That will be T. Lynch's role next year, he is a beauty!!!

Our playing style is only one factor of our success. Even if sides work us out, and I'm sure the top 4 have watched hours of video from all angles, they still have to match us on desire, toughness, skill and overall talent. Its one thing to say that they know how we play and try to mimic it but our ...

Not sure why all the hate Rodger, I will answer your question..... I am personally terrified of the prospect of not winning the big one. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving going to the footy every week and watching the best saints side I have seen since I've been watching them, (around 35 years) BUT sur...

hey maybe we should just play the entire 40 players on the list in case they might wanna leave!!! FFS.

Week after next we play the Hawks. Who would you play on Buddy 1. Roughhead 2. Rioli 3

1. Zac/Max/Gilbo
2. Zac/Max/Blake
3. Bakes/Gilbo/Gram

Thats the point, we have multiple options in the back half, if one guys is getting beat there are always other options.

You can look at the stats and get half the story as well. Facts are that when Max played earlier in the year with both Zac and Blake we looked top heavy down back, and it coincided with our worst form of the year. THis continued right up to the point when Max injured himself against Richmond. Yet w...
