And I'm ok with that.
It's a long 22 rounds and a very pointy end to the season.
2 grace finals then out out out.
I suppose H&A losses aren't as demoralising as they used to be.
Ladder position is all that matters, and no point worrying about that until found 12 when movement is still achievable.
but then I don't follow the Swans around the country watching them play. I'd be kinda depressed if I fly up to see them lose to the dogs.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
Has been this way for a long, long time.
I blame Sydney's immaculate weather compared to that of our southern counter parts.
The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
I am starting to get worried about the Melbourne game especially if it is going to rain. Roosey likes to play a defense orientated style with plenty of stoppages and bodies around the ball. This will not suit us.
I've said it before and started threads before so why does no one at Swnas HQ listen to me?? we are THE WORST team in the comp in the wet by a MILE.
As soon as I heard it was wet I changed my tip....as it happens the wet was the reason we lost....or to put another way - would have beena solid/comfortable win in the dry.
Clearest example ever was rnd 1 2014 v GWS - complete inabilty to pick up the ball whereas they had no trouble. we led comfortably all day and then half way through Q3 they won 6 or 7 contested possessions in a row and in EVERY one of them we had a chance to grab the pill and failed. we were about 14 points ahead and I had a sudden realisation - turned to the wife and said "Oh my God we're going to lose!" she said "don't be stupid - you're such a drama queen."
I WAS RIGHT. I believe that we have won 2 of the last 12 games in the wet - and one of those we trailed by 41 points in the 3rd Q so that was (morally) a loss. we managed to lose to Carlton and Essendon at their worst....so long as it was wet...and Richmond

Does anyone have any reasons why the bulk of modern day players shun the long sleeve jumper in the wet?
Not so long ago, half the team would come out with the long sleeves in the wet. I can't remember the last Swan that wore one.
Brad Seymour wore the sleeves a bit too.
Today's a draft of your epitaph
Nick Malceski wore long sleeves a lot in earlier years with the Swans.
