    Titus is in form as usual. This from his preview of our game:

    "The Swans late season form has unfortunately come too late for them this year, and Sydney fans will have to figure out what to do in September, something they’re not used to.

    As a Melbourne supporter, let me offer some tips:

    - Become obsessed with the draft and convince yourself an eighteen-year-old you’ve never heard off is going to turn your club, and your life, around.
    - Get hopeful you’ll land a big free agent then watch the media conference where they sign with Geelong as you cry into your two-day-old pizza
    - Convince yourself that next year things will be different.

    Sydney to win this."

    Very funny.....but only point three applies to us and I'm already convinced.

    It’s not just their fetching looks (really), but the female hosts, Jonesy (Sarah ) and Ned (Neroli Meadows) on FOX are smart, professional, upbeat and insightful.
    A fab asset to the coverage.

    Darcy Moore hamstrung again.....great as he is, we dodged a bullet.

    PS: The game in Perth is a bit of a thriller.....2 pts in it with 9 minutes left.

    Gotta hand it to the Pies, whilst they don't leave home a lot, they have a great record of winning interstate.

    Pretty to watch. Shows what a season of virtually no injuries can do for a side.

    24 minutes into the third quarter at the Demons/Dogs game and Josh Dunkley has 153 fantasy points!

    The way to look at it is that if we took Dunkley we probably wouldn't have been able to draft Dawson. I'm not sure who will be the better player in the long run, but I'm very happy the way Dawson is going this year.

    Wasn’t there a time when the Swans had too many of the Dunkley type of player ?
