Hun's analysis

[smasher]

I glanced at the article,as I have for the other teams he has attempted to summarize.I felt that Mr Barrett has done little research on the current Swans and has no idea what has gone on during the pre season.To be honest I just scurried through it giving it no regard.

A pretty poor article. Whoever wrote it seems like they have no idea.

The name Damien Barret says it all.

Which explains this statement:
But there appears to be no wow factor, no yet-to-be-discovered talent guaranteed to take this side back to a Grand Final.

Bird could be that skillful midfielder we lacked in 07.

The article was written from jottings taken off the back of a beer coaster.

I was quite pleasantly surprised with this article. I expected the same old garbage, that we're too old and worn out.

With some youth being injected like Bird, Barlow and Jack, we could finish in the top 4, if things go our way.

Interesting article - though he missed Bird entirely.

"Yet, used properly, the bitterness felt by all associated with the club during their coach's fight to clear his name could easily be worth a couple of wins this year.

There is no group of AFL players that respects its coach more than the Swans do Roos.

So where do they finish? As with all clubs, except Geelong, opinions vary wildly.

Slipping out of the top eight would be the strong prediction of some.

Another Grand Final berth wouldn't surprise others."
