2019 ladder prediction for the swans

[Bloods05]

She's missing one significant point; we won't get an armchair rid from the umpires like the premiers have over the last four years.

The siege mentality doesn't really get us anywhere. It's good to have a vent now and then, but the idea that the umpires systematically favour one side is frankly ridiculous. Move on to more substantive things.

There was a let of negativity about Clarke disposal but his disposal efficiency was 79% which is pretty good in my books.

Yep, and stats can be misleading but I think he had maybe 2 or 3 bad blunders by hand and foot , but the rest of his disposal was either good or at least decent. Seems like a lot of people only saw the blunders and judge his whole game on those , he had 29 touches and 3 were horrible. He does need to learnt to hand pass with both hands though , that has gotten him into trouble a few times already.

I can’t agree on Mcinerney over Clarke. Clarke was one of our best yesterday. Mcinerney has huge potential but needs plenty of work. Would like to see him string together some consistent performances in the NEAFL before rewarding him with a senior debut. He looks good when he is involved but he floats in and out of the game too much at this early stage.

As of 5 minutes ago, I'm thinking this could be a good year for the Giants. My animosity towards them, which peaked in 2016, has receded a bit and I wouldn't begrudge them some success. Will do the game good in here in NSW. Plus my treacherous 9 year old kind of goes for them.

If my kids (assuming we have some of course) do that trick, they'll be sleeping outside with the dog until they swear their allegiance to the right team :P

Lift your game. What kind of a Swans supporting father are you??!!!

He's "compromised" by making the Swans his second team. The hide!!

That made me laugh - damn kids, never do as they are told!

Captains' call: Who will take out the major awards in 2019? - AFL.com.au

The club captains effectively mirror my own predictions and have us in the 8 ahead of Essendon. They have also most commonly tipped the other teams I would have in the 8. But it's (obviously) not an easy call and will undoubtedly be wrong somewhere.

To put some context around that, Olle is a diehard Swans fan. But her observation that you could make a case for around 12 teams is fair. We just won't know until...we know.

I'm really excited by what Thurlow could bring if he stays on the park. Best 22 for mine if fit. Intercepting half back with the ability to push up onto a wing. I think we'll get the best out of him.

He was a first round pick in his draft year as a defender, tore his ACL in 2016 and has struggled to get back since. On talent he could be anything.

I suspect both he and Clarke got the we will play you offer to attract them to the club. Both should do well with an extended run at it.
