Giants all the way. If we can't be top 4 and get home finals we need to hope we meet the other Sydney side at its "home" in a final.
Excessive travel kills your chances.

The umpiring to get port back into the game makes me depressed about the type of "competition" this is?. Or is it just a popularity contest?
We are still clinging to top 4. hopefully, anything can happen from here on,
Yes Big Cat you are right, but if we keep winning we are in with a show. Let's see what happens next week before slashing our wrists.
Better to be 4th and have to hold on to it, than 5th and try and prise it away.

3. THE BIGGEST LOSER (II)
Sydney’s game style is to kick 80 points and restrict opponents. It’s not working. In its past four games the Swans have kicked 11.1, 9.5, 16.8 and, on Saturday, 8.16 which included two goalless quarters against Gold Coast. Dermott Brereton argues coach John Longmire has to change how he uses Lance Franklin. “If you have the best key forward since Wayne Carey, let him play,’’ Derm said.
We wrote two weeks ago the Swans don’t have leg speed or quick ball movement and when their much-celebrated midfield is down they are in trouble. They led by 29 points at quarter-time and it seemed the cue went in the rack. They allowed the Suns to run and score and gain confidence. After the first break, the Suns kicked 11.11 from 48 inside-50s and the Swans 2.12 from 34. It was breathtaking footy by the Suns and laborious by the Swans. Their season is hanging by a thread.
To put it another way, to make the finals, we are going have to play some reasonably good football to make it. It’s a good run-in to have to build up some form.
Richmond play Collingwood this weekend. I wonder who the AFL wants to win this one
I hope all the Magpie supporters are ready for Alex Rancid. "stager, Stager, Stager" every time he touches the ball.
Robinson and Brereton are part of a football media that sensationalises everything on a weekly basis. Inconsistencies are never called out and their commentaries are superficial. Against Kangaroos, for instance, there was very quick ball movement from both teams in what was hailed as one of the matches of the year. Last week we were enormously resilient, apparently, with a hugely undermanned side . One week later, we are definitively hopeless. Also Robinson writes that when our midfield is down, we are in trouble. What a genius- as if that doesn't apply to every other team. So much crap written. Worthless drivel but a number of people hang on every word.
