Well, there's no doubt there's a genuine buzz around the club now.
Which is probably just as well, because this week, we're up against Hawthorn at the MCG, where our record has been quite poor for several years. The Hawks were also responsible for our biggest loss of the season, in Round 9 at the SCG, and in any case, history suggests the home team for the semi-finals almost always goes through to the preliminary final.
But whether Buddy Franklin plays or not, I've no doubt we're going to win this week.
The match will be an historic milestone for Adam Goodes - his 300th in the red and white, a first for any Swans player, and achieved more quickly than anyone else.
Considering all he's done for us over the years, does anyone seriously believe the team are going to let him down by not turning up to play?
Rain, hail or whatever, we're going to win. Count on it!
Swans by 18.
