I ask, how good are we, because I think that who we might go for in some of the other matches, will depend on our perceptions of the ability of our Swans. For instance, in tonight's game, if we tend to think that our place in the eight is still insecure, then we might go for Geelong to beat Fremantle. On the other hand, if we're reasonably comfortable about making the eight and are now eyeing a top four spot, than it's logical to go for Fremantle. I suspect that I'm not the only one thinking: go the Dockers.

It's much the same deal for tomorrow night's Richmond v Brisbane match; which is now being played at Metricon. Feeling insecure: go the Lions. Feeling confident: go the Tigers. Although, another nail being hammered into Richmond's coffin, does have a certain amount of appeal.

The first Saturday action is now the 4.35 game at Metricon between the Suns and the Bulldogs. I notice that five Bulldogs have been omitted from the team that we beat last weekend. The Eagles similarly swung the axe, after we gave them a thrashing. So, that's an achievement, I guess.

Now that I've checked, the MCG game between Melbourne v Hawthorn is also at 4.35. I doubt if we can catch Melbourne, so hopefully they'll win by around a hundred.

The Saturday night game at Marvel sees St Kilda take on Port. Once again, if we think we're a top four chance, it'll be go the Saints.

The Metricon festival of the boot continues on Sunday afternoon, with North playing Essendon. Honestly, if they decided to call this one off to save the ground, would there be that many complaints?

The twilight game is Adelaide playing at home against West Coast. I didn't see any of Adelaide playing against Essendon last week, but they must have been truly terrible, because West Coast are clear favourites.

And finally, we play GWS at Metricon. Hopefully we will continue our recent run of good form, and we can all optimistically anticipate the next round: wherever and whenever that may be.
