Lets enjoy September

[top40]

My view is that Swans fans should enjoy their team's September. Let's face the facts: we are not going to win the flag, and with Geelong likely to be in the path in week 3, we are not going to make the GF either. And it is likely that Sydney may not play finals again for some time. So lets just enjoy the month.

Week1. Hopefully a home game against North Melbourne gives us a really good start. Sydney's home Finals record stands a good 6 wins and 2 losses. North was the only top 8 side that DIDN'T beat us this year. Further, since the 1996 GF Sydney's record against the Kangaroos stands at 10 wins, 7 losses, and a draw.

Week 2, would mean a MCG game against either Hawthorn or the Bulldogs, (probably the Bulldogs). Sydney have won 2 of their last 3 Finals games at the G. And until this year at least, we had a fantastic recent record against both clubs,(Hawthorn 6-0, 2004-07; Western Bulldogs 5-0, 2003-07).

Week 3, probably the farewell of the season against the eventual premiers Geelong. I hope its not too much of thrash.

So if Adelaide cause a boil over against Geelong we could make the GF without having to play them.

Yeah, Thats a pretty big IF. We would also then have to beat Adelaide in Adelaide. That's if we win our first two games. Lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

Adelaide won't beat Geelong, if you get within 30 points of Geelong it's about as good as beating most other sides so beating them will be just about impossible. We'd have to play out of our skins to win the flag, but as long as we try our best and play good footy i'll be happy with that.

Its all about enjoying it this year for me as well. if we get a couple of wins/ scare one of the bigs guns Id be stoked but lets see what happens. With a bit of luck the Saints will get the percentage boost needed to overtake Adelaide and thus remove us of having any chance of playing either till the GF

I think i will enjoy the first week much more now that Collingwood have to travel to Adelaide for a sudden death game! It was really p**sing me off that they could have finished eighth and still would have played at the MCG.

StKilda sneak into 4th.

The problem is now we have to depend on StKilda doing that. I'd rather Geelong get through (for the simple fact I can't stand StKilda).

I doubt it... The chances of StKilda going from a 108 point win to a 108 point loss in the space of a week are aboiut even money IMO.

What is our record against them in Sydney? (I know they have never beaten us at ANZ!!)
