Like last year I don't care whether the swans win. I just hope those cheating bastard Hawks don't win.

+1 to this - Anyone but the wees and poos!

Completely agree with this MB. I wasn't confident at all before a ball was bounced in anger, and still have reservations, but we could not have asked for anything more than what we've seen so far.
Wees and Poos still clearly the team to beat, but there are a bunch of teams in that next rung below them (dogs, cats, crows, swans, norf, maybe Weagles if they can learn to win away from home) that all could genuinely stake a claim for top 4, and to challenge the Hawks on their best day. Going to be a really good season I think, and the quality of football more generally so far has been fantastic!

Pissed off that Hawks have snuck over the line for their last three wins. Poor umpiring got them over against Adelaide and Saints.
Don't write off Adelaide, they are mighty impressive, could have been unbeaten, as we could have.
To be sure, it is a season of relative joy so far, compared to last years 'annus horribilus', and I must say as a life long Swans fan, it is nice to be able to say that after finishing fifth, outside of the depressing Goodes treatment that is. I echo many of the thoughts expressed on this thread so far. As far as the flag goes, at this stage of the season, we are wise not getting ahead of ourselves, but I believe we have as much a chance as anyone at the moment. If not this year, maybe next year, but we may just do it a year early! Early days but all the signs are good. Post Edit: Apologies, this is in the wrong thread......long story.

It could very well be a war of attrition by seasons end. We are standing up ok so far.
Controversial AFL umpire displays Hawthorn banner on his Twitter account | Sporting News - NFL | NCAA | NBA | MLB | NASCAR | UFC | WWE | Sporting News
To me this just confirms what we've suspected all along. Also with umpires like Stevic.
Not a grand conspiracy, but I honestly believe a few umpires are corrupted by their past allegiances and needs to be investigated. I'd wager Langford has something to do with it.
A lot of idiot Hawks fans on facebook are banging on about how they thrashed teams like us in their Grand Finals therefore, the umpiring makes no difference.
On the contrary, in four of the last three preliminary finals they've played in, the games were decided by less than a goal. We probably should have been playing against Adelaide and Port Adelaide in each of our 2012 and 2014 Grand Finals if the Prelims were umpired in a fair way. Both games had VEEEERY questionable umpiring decisions.
What a tool. The AFL should give him the lemonade.
Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector
I wish swans supporters would start a chant, 'Hawthorn umpires, clap clap clap clap clap,' when we play those scumbags.
I hate the Hawthorn fan base more than the West Coast eagles fan base in their prime during the Ben Cousins saga. Goddamn bandwagon, pet membership, AFL-assisted, knee-lifting 'but he's a good bloke' bastards.
Andrew Stephens, AFL umpire, is not a Hawthorn fan
Ah yes, I see his mate is sticking up for him as predicted.
But Danzar, the form lines so far are spot on. Tip on form, not the heart.
The Tiges Stink, Port are very ordinary, Bummers are no good, Saints for the upsets, Freo are gorn, Blues beat Freo, say no more, Dees as for Saints. Back in the top 6. I would go the GWS most games, same for Adelaide.
