Experts don't pick Sydney in Top 8

[ernie koala]

I have a lingering doubt that Crouch, Mathews and maybe Barry have played on one year too many, but time will tell.

Matthews has played like a slow, indecisive has been, or should I say a never was, for years.

What a surprise the so called experts dont rate us,they never have.

IMO we will go top 4 again.

Like Hammo said alot will depend on where we are at around Rd 8-10.
Most of all though injuries, with the list we have will be the major factor.
We have alot of guys who just have not played top level footy.

It will depend so much on how we hold up with our older guys and how quickly our new kids can improve and play week in week out
I still rekon we can be thereabouts around the bottom half of the 8 and if we get in , and we are pretty much with a full list clubs wont want to play us in September.
The worry I have though is that not like in the last 10 years I can also see us
falling right away, and I mean right away.
From what Ive seen this year and heard we really havent changed our game plan at all.Other teams just dont fear us like they use to.
Really hope Roosys re invents himself ,much like Micky Malthouse and Bomber Thompson and gives us something different.
I hoping around the bottom half of the 8.

I wouldn't dare to predict where the Swans will end up at the end of H&A season. It's way too early.

IMO if the 'fab trio'..McVeigh, Matthews, Bevan, are in the side consistantly, we won't make the 8.
If we send them to the ACT and bring in some new blood, we may surprise and play a final or two.

Jude is very lucky.
