Why does it seem that some people on this site appear to be writing us off before the season is done and before the finals have even started? Obviously last night was a disappointment, but put into perspective that fact that we have something like 6 premiership players out and a few coming back into the side from injury (mcglynn and shaw).
Now I'm not one to post often as you have probably noticed, but it annoys me to see so many people writing off 4th before the seasons done and saying its virtually impossible to win the flag from any lower than 4th. To these people I call bull@@@@. Firstly, last time I checked we were 3rd and still one of the strongest teams in the competition even with so many injuries.
Secondly, if its one thing I learned from being a Swans supporter over the years is that it's not over till the fat lady sings. Think back to this time last year, we lost 3 of our last 4 IIRC and we're given no hope in the finals. Yet we overcame the fancied crows, broke (somewhat) of a hoodoo against the pies and took out the "strongest" team in the big one.
I also wanted to remind people of 2005 where we basically did what a team lower than fourth had to do to win a flag (excusing the second chance we got).
So before you write off the Swans just remember, we have the pedigree and history to know that we can bring it to any team at any time and on the biggest stage of all.
