Maybe previously but not this season.Originally Posted by Nico
He was average in the first two rounds, didn't play against the Pies and then came back into the team and was consistently in the top tacklers (except the Saints game but they never had the ball to be tackled) until his injury against the Blues.
I was hoping he could get back to full fitness for these finals and could easily see him stepping up like our much loved Fearless Fosdike

Hosking from Essendon Football league? I don't understand why it is so hard to arrange umpires from neutral states/ i.e. WA/SA/TAS/QLD etc. If we get away to a lightning start i.e 5-6 goals ahead, the umps will have little influence. If its a close one, that when the trouble will start.
And in that first loss to the hawks we kind of got ourselves, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with some blatant errors.
The best strategy for beating quick teams is 'win the ball.'
It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

I agree. The simple strategies often work best.
Are we there yet?
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Unfortunately we are still in the long, slow and drawn out calm. Although I am now reminded of Ferris Bueller's sage advice about life moving pretty fast.
Razor Ray is from the ACT. Hosking is a worry and Meredith is probably a mate of Gillon McLachlan as he started in the VAFA. This is very worrying. How come we couldn't have 3 from any of SA, Tassie, Queensland or WA? The problem with Victorian umpires who grow up in the district of a team that they are umpiring is they ARE biased. Nichols for Western Bulldogs is very obvious. In the matches Nichols umpires Western Bulldogs the free kick tally is far greater for the Western Bulldogs than for the opposition. It must be very difficult for an umpire not to be biased or to go the other way to prove how unbiased they are and then penalise the club they followed as kids. One thing I do know is when two teams I have never had an interest in or a bias toward are playing I am exceedingly fair but when my team is playing I'm a little bit one eyed even when I try not to be. I can recognise when the opposition should get a free and most of the time I am fair but when there is the slightest doubt I am pro Swans. I think that's only natural.
Don't knock Robbo he was really good last week in the Prelim. He got 28 disposals last week our best.
The last sentence in the first paragraph I sort of agree with. The Suns definitely. Freo can be a bit freaky at times but in a pinch yep I think they could. Some of the toppies like Osborne and Wicks have been very good. The one I am totally impressed by though is Bell. He was sensational against GWS. The side we are putting up this weekend is almost all listed players with Jared Osborne being the only Toppie. Very strong side.

The other thing is for some reason everyone keeps saying Jones is the only change from the last time we played them but he's not. McVeigh did not play last time either, Ollie Florrent did.
Still not a fan of sinclair over tippett
key forwards are built for finals
only reason woild be if they are suss on naismith going the distance and need more of a 50 50 split in the ruck
chances of sinclair firing are next to nil
tippo at least a presence
Due to illness I can't use my ticket tomorrow. Happy to give it to a Swans supporter. It's high in the Churchill, so a high pocket view. It's a mobile ticket so I could email it. Please DM me with email address if you would like it.
Annie - we are there - today's the day!!! I'm as nervous as all get out!!!
