Thread: Importance of Hawthorn match

    Importance of Hawthorn match

    Once they defeat the Suns, Hawks will be on 60 pts level with Collingwood and Adelaide.
    With their percentage, should they win next week they will be ahead of us. And we would have to win in Geelong to finish top 2.

    A win in either of the next 2 games is important or a must for a top 2 spot.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    If we beat Hawthorn top spot is as good as guaranteed due to big percentage gap over Adelaide and Wobblewood. Only the highly unlikely event we suffer a monstrous thrashing at Geelong would knock us off.

    Yep. Win next week and we're minor premiers.

    Yeh let's do it next week and not have the angst of having to beat Geelong again at the cattery to secure top two.

    Finals are shaping nicely. How about WCE vs Freo and Roos vs Cats first week of the finals?

    Swans vs Hawthorn first week would be nice too :-)

    Having a look at the draw for the current top 4 over the next couple of weeks, provided we beat Hawthorn next week, and even if we lose to Geelong - we're likely to finish first (provided Adelaide don't blast the Demons and the Suns off the map) and probably face Collingwood in our Qualiffying Final, with the Crows hosting Hawthorn in theirs. That's my prediction.

    A win next week most likely means first Qualifying final will be Syd v Collingwood at ANZ. We had one of those recently didn't we?

    We certainly did - a practice run. We'll win the real thing.

    Top four secured today. Minor premiership secured if we win next week. The first time we've played for the minor premiership since round 22, 1996. HUGE game.

    I am so excited about this game already! SOOO much to play for, SCG sold out, weather forecast is great! I just implore every blood supporter on Saturday to be loud and passionate from the moment the boys run out! Come on Swannies!
    Swannies for life!

    The way I see it:
    If we win both games, Top spot and we play the Pies in Sydney.
    If we lose one to the Hawks, 2nd spot and we play Crows in Sydney.
    If we lose one to the Cats, Top spot and we play the Pies in Sydney.
    If we lose both, , 3rd spot and we play the Crows in Adelaide.

    So we MUST beat the Hawks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    That is why today's game was a must win!!
