My view is that Swans fans should enjoy their team's September. Let's face the facts: we are not going to win the flag, and with Geelong likely to be in the path in week 3, we are not going to make the GF either. And it is likely that Sydney may not play finals again for some time. So lets just enjoy the month.
Week1. Hopefully a home game against North Melbourne gives us a really good start. Sydney's home Finals record stands a good 6 wins and 2 losses. North was the only top 8 side that DIDN'T beat us this year. Further, since the 1996 GF Sydney's record against the Kangaroos stands at 10 wins, 7 losses, and a draw.
Week 2, would mean a MCG game against either Hawthorn or the Bulldogs, (probably the Bulldogs). Sydney have won 2 of their last 3 Finals games at the G. And until this year at least, we had a fantastic recent record against both clubs,(Hawthorn 6-0, 2004-07; Western Bulldogs 5-0, 2003-07).
Week 3, probably the farewell of the season against the eventual premiers Geelong. I hope its not too much of thrash.
