God, I didn't think St Kilda would be 4.75! I thought we'd be a bit lower than 12.00 too.
Richmond - 101.00 - Hehe!Isn't it great to see all those Richmond supporters put back in their place. Mid-season it was all top 4 this, premiership that. It won't be long before they're bagging their players and demanding Wallaces' head.
Which comes back to the circumspect thing - why put your head on the block by making claims that you have no way of supporting?Originally posted by BayseysLeftBoot
We all know we're a chance in a very even competition but much will depend on where we finish, injuries (ours & others), & other slices of luck.
And the players have exactly the same attitude. When Leo was on WLF last week, Grybus asked him to finish the sentence "in September, the Swans will..." I was kinda expecting fighting words like "hold the Cup aloft". Instead his response was "hopefully be playing in the finals!"!!!
I think everyone is right to keep a hold of expectations while believing that we might, just might, get it rite this year.

It is good that we hold expectations down for the time being. The old cliche of "one week at a time" serves us well. Even in round 22, when we play Hawthorn, we would do well to be thinking about that clash rather than the finals the week after. In a season where monumental upsets seem to happen almost on a weekly basis, no club can afford to take its opposition lightly.
I hope the game on Saturday night is a good contest, with no injuries and no reports, and the Swans claim the points. Even a draw would be good for us.

Does anyone on here really believe our own expectations will affect the teams performance? Or are you refering to the players, who from what I can tell are "taking it one week at a time".
I'm sure they are regular readers of RWO, to find out how their form is and get some constructive advice on how to improve their game. Thus if they read, that we expect them to win it might go to their heads, so lets keep our expectations under our hats and just win next w/e first!!Originally posted by BayseysLeftBoot

Yes I can see the whole team standing around a computer right now, their fragile minds shattering under the weight of our expectation.Originally posted by ScottH

Don't be silly, they obviously have more than one computer.Originally posted by BayseysLeftBoot

After all the hype after the Swans' win over the Eagles, the Crows will not be cought sleeping. They'll be ready for us and hit us hard as well. It will be almost a miracle for Sydney to win there.
Malceski likely to miss and Fosdike unlikely to make the trip. So is this a chance for Fixter to make his comeback
Given the ground is bigger I'd love them to bring another tall forward target in, like Vogels.Originally posted by ugg

And if his fitness is back up to it, would love to see Davis spend more time around the midfield. He's not seeing much of the ball up forward at the moment and his delivery into the forward line would be very useful if he can find a bit of it around the midfield.
Fixter has missed a huge amount of football in recent years and has only been back in the twos for a few weeks. He was brought back quite quickly last year at the business end of the season, struggled to have much impact and then reinjured himself soon after. This could be the toughest game yet for the season and I'm not convinced it's the right game to bring him back, particularly into a team already with a decent hobbit quota.
