Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
We can win all three of our last games. But we need to mentally turn up.
GWS are definitely no great shakes.

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
Best outcome in a BYE round is a jolly good Caaaaarlton loss.
1 goal in the last 3 quarters
In front for over 70% of the game.
Surrendering 4 unanswered last qtr goals to lose.
BEAUTIFUL !

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
This is accurate. Had the Blues won tonight - we’d have only had to beat the Dawks and we’d be assured.
The real danger game for us is Dogs v Eagles. If the Dogs win, we’ll likely need to beat GWS to get in. If the Eagles beat the Dogs - we’re still likely to finish 8th even if we beat the Hawks but lose to GWS
Not counting on us beating WCE in those calculations.
Go you red, black & white warriors

Which is a real possibility. A bigger possibility than Sydney was of beating Melbourne.

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
If we beat the Hawks by at least 30 points that should be enough to keep us above Melbourne by percentage and safely in the final 8.

How the hell did we lose to Melbourne.

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
I'd rather we make our way rather than "fake" our way into the final 8.
Our coach needs to think on his feet and make the obvious moves during the match - we can't afford mismatches of the "May vs King" variety. That was very poor coaching.
Also, we need to get the selections right:
Savage needs to come into the team ... we can afford one less "small" in the side.

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
After watching last night, if we're switched on we should be able to beat the Hawks and GWS comfortably.
Time to stop 'managing' the players and games and just start playing our best guys at 100% intensity for 100% of the game.

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
Ladder predictor says we can win 1 and get in on % , which is very risky.
If the paper baggers had of held on last night would have been of great assistance, but not to be.
Need WC to win against WB (which is a worrying game) , we beat Haw comfortably - (with them off a short break), and then best GWS .
GWS in similar position to us as control own destiny and play Melb and Stkilda. My thoughts are need Melb to win the game, GWS therefore shot and roll over for the last game with nothing to play for and out of contract players to protect.

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
I am not confident about Hawthorn at all. We seem to have tailed off at a rate of knots.
Of games won earlier, I doubt we would beat any of,
Port Adelaide
Richmond
or even Sydney
with our current set-up.

Melbourne are very mentally weak and scarred.
Want to watch the most boring and devious thing on television and probably in mankind's history, then tune into a daily live press conference at 11am.

Frawley will play on King this Sunday and McEvoy will drop back across half-forward stopping his leads too.samoht wrote: ↑Fri 04 Sep 2020 9:48am I'd rather we make our way rather than "fake" our way into the final 8.

If Membrey doesn't play I hope some of our midfielders can manufacture some goals.

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
Would be nice if Wet Toast beats the Doggies but I'm not that confident. Real 50/50 game.
We must beat Hawks or really, why bother with finals. We'd be making up the numbers. Players need to make a statement this week.
We knock off Hawks I reckon we'd be a chance to knock off one of WC or GWS. I'm not sold on either of them.

Three places in the finals available with 4 teams competing for them.
Collingwood, Greater Western Sydney, Melbourne, St Kilda.
One misses out.

Re: Go Swans, Blues and Lions
Since the Geelong game we have been struggling.
There is no reason we should not beat Hawthorn.
There is no reason we cannot be competitive against WCE.
There is no reason we cannot beat GWS.
Then win the next four.
Problem solved.
