    I'd have been much happier with a Saints loss.

    I don't rate the Dogs' chances of making the eight. They are without a few key players and have a very tough run coming up opponent wise.

    So for me, the Saints are the much bigger threat out of those two. And we already pretty much had the Saints covered percentage wise, unless there are some big scores scored or conceded by either them or us in the last week. So them only getting two points rather than four is neither here nor there. Them getting nil points, on the other hand, would have been a handy outcome for us. So long as we beat them next weekend, may not be an issue, but I'm really nervous about our ability to cover an in fit and in super form Riewoldt, not to mention Gehrig and Koschitske lurking next to him.

    Sorry about the spoiler...it was early morning where I am in the US

    Didn't think, and sure won't do it again.

    I woulda been super angry if I'd been waiting for a replay.

    Don't worry Swans500, there was a spoiler warning in the title from the time The Hood started the thread when the game finished live for us NSW folk.

    I don't think cruiser was having a go at you. To be honest, I don't know WTF he is on about, the spoiler was well flagged from the beginning.

    In cruiser's defence, Swans500's original post was in a new thread in RWO Chat before it got merged with this one.

    And don't worry about it Swans500.

    Fair enough.

    Sorry cruiser.

    I am convincing myself more that this draw was NOT good for us at all.
    Let's hope we are only worrying about teams in front of us rather than those below us.

    As most people would've expected the Saints to win and with their line-up it was almost a certainty, I can take the draw. As long as the Swans beat Melbourne, which should happen then we're back in the 8.
    I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!!

    Well 2 of 3 results went our way today.

    Shame about Carlton, but Brisbane and Adelaide winning were a plus.

    Hopefully Freo and Essendon win tomorrow and that would be a great outcome.

    Of course, we have to keep winning too!

    5 wins and we'll definitely be in the 4 you'd think. Even 4 wins could scrape us in now.

    A costly loss for Port because they have Hawthorn and Geelong away to come.

    Looking too far forward. We cannot afford to lose tomorrow.
