Interesting to see the top 6 as it was last year apart from one difference...us.

I firmly believe we have the right mix of experience and youth and given it's roosy's last year we are really going to be up there challenging for top 4. From there, with the double chance...anything is possible

Thanks Brian.

Always look on the the bright side of life.

What are the ratings based on?

How about a Swans-Dogs GF? Swans up by four points after Baz and Bradshaw go goal for goal. Ten seconds left when Baz marks 30 m out directly in front - and kicks a behind. Siren, joy.

I'm guessing games played.

How about scores level with the Dogs going into attack. Baz gives a free kick away and then a 50m for verbal abuse and then another 50m for belting someone. The siren goes and Craig Bolton puts it through for the win.

Or Baz gives away free kick with 20 seconds to go, craig dishes it off to kennelly, who goes for a huge run, dishes off to Jetta, back to Kennelly, who slams it home from 50. siren sounds. the greatest irish jig of all time follows.

Flag winning scenarios? It's official, we have all gone crazy.

BRING ON THE SEASON.

This is can picture, Irish peeling off after the kick, riding it home, willing it to bend back which it just does and this time its stacks-on Jetstar.

I would have thought losing Hall Jolly Buchanan Barry MOL Fosdike Crouch would meant that we were firmly entrenched in the top six last year

BRING ON THE SEASON.

It's not too silly. The Swans pushed both Grand Finalists late last season and we look to be a better team this year. Good mix of experience and enthusiasm and proven coaches with something to prove. It could be 2003 again. I just look at the Captain's poll and wonder who it is that knows what we have to offer - going for Goodes for the Brownlow, Bradshaw for the Coleman and Swans for the finals?

If you take how chronically underrated we we are, you'd have to take our 8-10 as potential to push for Top 4. The big worry will be if the forward line doesn't gel or the kids get tired at the end of a long season.

I really believe Bradshaw is the secret weapon. Failing a flag, I'd love to see him ahead of Baz - and Fev - in goals for the season. The ideal would be both events.

Hey, not saying it couldn?t happen, although in 2003 I do recall heartbreak out at Homebush, but how it is going to happen i believe is a sign that you need to spend the next 8 days in Bedlam.
