No doubt they've had a good draw, but so have the Kangaroos.
They punished Geelong. Beat Carlton before the wheels fell off. Freo are no easy beat.
Their two main forward targets have been in and out of the team all year as well.
I certainly dont want to face Adelaide in the finals. I'd be much happier for a Melbourne team to have the limelight in the leadup.

Eagles would be the best possible draw, but they wont make it that far.Why would a Swans Supporter want to meet Pies or Hawks on their home ground. Cats also play there quite a bit so a big advantage to them. The teams who are neutral on that ground for us are Crows, Dockers & Eagles and I think I prefer to play any of them before the Melbourne teams. What's more coming from Sydney we are supposed to have a natural hatered for anything Melbourne anyway
Freo are improving but unlikely to get that far either.
On the whole, I'd be most confident playing Hawthorn in the GF.

I tend to think in a Swans v Crows GF, we will actually have the crowd behind us and thus defacto home ground advantage ... still many Vics can't stand South Aussies when it comes to AFL.
We have had a terrific season, our draw to date has been reasonable, not the toughest, certainly not the easiest, regrettably I think we lack at least a key forward and defender to go deep in September, facing Hawks or Pies at the MCG with LRT and Reid as our forward line is simply not enough, and Grundy needs to play with a lot more poise, unlike when BBBH murdered him in that final. It's true that anyone can beat anyone this year, but in finals we realistically look a player or two and a little experience short. But then again.....

more to the point why do the swans have to give up their hone ground advantage in the finals?....no other team does it...when we played finalsin 1996, 2005 & 2006 we played at the SCG....why give that advantage away to play at bloody homebush?...top 2 finish vital for the swans....but let's play at the REAL G!!
Yeah, well it's not going to happen because there are contracts in place. Can we stop going around in circles about this?

We don't deserve to be outright favourites because we're still an unknown quantity against the other contenders. A lot has changed since we played them.
If we win on Saturday it proves we deserve to be a close second favourite after Hawthorn. If we lose we're going to have to beat Hawthorn and Geelong to prove ourselves (and hang onto a top two spot).

just joined this site today so didn't realise you'd been doing circle work with this topic....and quite frankly screw the contracts...
Many of us agree, but just have to live with it for now.

Madness, the only place I want to play Hawthorn is in Sydney in a prelim or 1st final.
Speaking of which, how good would it be if Port got up over the Hawks this weekend. New coach, major bollocking after GWS loss. Happened plenty of times before.
