This week to the finals - got it all worked out

I think I would be scared for my life of Collingwood were to play us in the GF - all those toothless monosyllabled oddballs in the one place.

I'm used to it. The Big Al family Christmas party is pretty good training.

If we do draw Collingwood in the first week and win, I will be hoping against hope that they don't make it through to the GF... I think we can beat them once, but twice would be a very tough ask given recent history (in 2005 and 2006 the team that lost the QF reversed the result in the GF). I don't know if I could handle that scenario!

[Wardy]

Oh and we don't play Collingwood just so as the IQ level at the ground is a bit higher;-)

[Xie Shan]

It's never a cake walk.

Just ask the Pies supporters, in 2010... they had to play two grand finals, to win a premiership!!

[Wardy]

I'd still rather we play a Victorian team in the GF- Easier for us travellers to get accommodation. ;-)

If the barrackers are barracking, apparently it is

great. I'd love to see WC get up over the pies this week, so they end up 4th, and we play them in the first week at home.

If everything went as you say, I would go so far to sing..... "oh the premierships a cakewalk...."

When I did the ladder predictor I found that we should be cheering the Weagles as hard as the Swannies as that will give us the best set up for finals. Putting the two Melbourne contenders on the wrong side of the ledger could be vital for a Swans' Premiership.

Pick the team that you want to play in the finals and make sure they will appear in our side of the pool. Shoot out at the end...

Therefore the question is

Do you want us to play Crows, Eagles, Roos or ? in the first weeks of the finals or play Pies or Hawks?

If Blues or Dockers (or Saints) make it - well it is starting to do my head in...

In 1998 the Crows defeated us to go on and win the GF from 5th They change which pool they were in by loosing the first week (Q* old McIntyre system?) They were lucky by loosing in the first week they had a easier run to the GF..

If we are in the top 4. WE need to select who we can beat!

I feel that each side on their day can win, however I would prefer hawks over Pies and Eagles over Crows..

Make it so is my request!

I'd take this scenario any day. Ideal for the Swans, facing the Crows in Melbourne without having to play Hawks or Cats in a final as well as beating the Pies. Maybe Jude could come back for the first final and win the GF in his 300th?

Hard to imagine Hawks going out in straight sets from 3rd.

[BillyRayCypress]

Interesting. Will be more clear after this weekend.

Can't see Norf beating both Cats and Hawks even on their current form.

I'd love to see an Eddiewood v Crows at AAMI in PF.

[Danzar]

Here is what I reckon, in two parts. It's purely speculative at this point, mainly pertaining the to the fact that none of this has happened yet. I'll give a prize to the closest call though.

Part 1 ? Rounds 22 and 23. Yes we beat the Hawks Saturday but sadly lose to the Cats in a thriller next week. Not that it mattered .

A late Carlton blitz just nudges them into finals contention, decided purely on the fact that I reckon they?ll pulverise Gold Coast this week and convincingly decanonise the ?aints in round 23.

Wet Toast to triumph at home over the Pies.
