Well, we kick off our finals campaign this week playing one of our bogey teams at their home ground.
Based on win/loss ratios, our current form over the past month has not been good - on the face of it, it's just about the worst of any of this year's top 8 leading into the finals.
Our forward line is nowhere near settled, and one of our key defenders has gone and got himself suspended for the match.
That's the hand we've been dealt - but it doesn't mean we're not without some hope.
For a start, no-one will expect us to win. That burden belongs to the Crows, and there will be no excuse for them to lose.
Also, we've been through a really tough last month playing 1st, 4th, and 6th, whereas the Crows have played 13th, 16th, and 17th. I think we've had a better preparation somehow - as long as we're not too worn out.
If we can sort out the personnel issues, and above all else, win the contested footy, we might just score another famous victory.
So I think we can win. But only just.
Go Swannies!
